They're shohorning what are basically a bunch of [expletive deleted] comittee-written fanfics into the continuity while at the same time better fanworks by non-associated people who actually care about the setting remain marginalized and borderline illegal. And this all occurs for reasons that have nothing at all to do with art.EDIT:and this is true of all the major nerd fandoms (with the notable exception of the cthulhu mythos, whose founding works are mostly in the public domain, thus allowing the works that came after to stand or fall by their own metits rather than by the whim of some soulless corporation or distant relative of the author)</blockquote>
