An informative article on Canon in the realm of fanfiction

[glennagirl.livejournal.com]

Canon(fiction) on Wikipedia ...( ManfromUNCLE.org is another source of information that can be helpful.)
This article might be helpful to those still in the formative stages concerning writing fanfiction.  We all strive to make things as realistic as possible within the context of MFU, and this explains the concept of canon.  Section VII was created to encourage and house stories based around the original series, with an eye to details that hearken back to what the writers gave us in Seasons 1-4, The Return Movie and the ACE books.  The Return Movie continues to spark controversy, and is the singular exception to canon accuracy.  Two camps do exist, and both are accepted as legitimate.
Another interesting discussion that we had here on Section 7 concerned Mary Sue.  The invitation is still open to post an obviously MS story, carry on the conversation or make a comment.  Use the tag Mary Sue to find more on this incredulous creature.
Writing is a fun and fulfilling endeavor, and MFU is still a viable subject.  I'm so proud to know we're adding stories daily to this great tradition.
