[QUOTE="Tonguez, post: 6839165, member: 1125"] NO, in a Novel like Harry Potter it is the creators right to define every aspect of it as they see fit and audiences just need to accept that is what the author intended and any fan interpretation are put aside Game worlds however are intended to be shared mediums where the players (DMs in particular) are expected to create and recreate things. In that case it is best that authors act to minimize their impact or at least to reply to and incorporate fanon. That would be awesome:) I wonder though isn't this essentially already done via 'Thieves World' model anthologies? such a shared world targetting new author anthologies could be fun I suppose or will it just be a paper-format fanfic community?
