Greg And Canon
Hello everyone.
If you haven't tried it yet, you should watch MoL while listening to this. It was a lot of fun to record. =)
The topic of Greg F. has come up with me a few times, and I have to say, I highly doubt he will be returning. That might seem like common sense now, but I often get asked about his status because of my "ties" with him. I wouldn't say that I have ties with Greg, especially not anymore. I know it's not good news, but I don't want people holding out hope anymore. If Greg comes back, it should be surprising to everyone at this point.
As for my opinion of how the fandom should function on our own, it's a tough subject. We'll never get everyone to agree on some kind of canonization system, and I think that would hurt the community. I do think that we should look to Bonesiii for the other contest that he got approved by Greg, because that's really the last approved piece of canon material that we have. I also think we should treat the ATYU2 stories as canon, and feature them as they deserve to be featured. There's concern that it isn't as secure as the old methods, but I think we do need to adapt at least in this regard. Because the themes were approved and the stories went through strict judging, I think it's time to let them in.
Because my story was among the winners, I do hate to put my opinion out like this. However, I believe if I was just a judge and not an entrant I would feel the same way. =)
