Talk:Personal canon

I am so disappointed that no Transformer has an 'anti-personnel cannon' we can disambig this with. Missiles, mines, shredders-- but no anti-personnel cannons.

So sad. -Derik 07:05, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

This article is soo not-condescending enough, it totally breaks the theme all our other fandom articles have, and whats worse is that personal cannon is more deserving of ridicule

Except that there is nothing inherently wrong or bad about personal canon as a concept. Just because some people have ridiculous personal canons doesn't mean EVERY personal canon is. Oscar Wilde is dead, but not all dead people are Oscar Wilde.

The problem becomes when people substitute personal canon for actual canon in arguments, discussions and informative articles. --M Sipher 01:40, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Also, *every fan* has a personal canon. It is impossible to avoid. One cannot consume any story without constructing an internal mental representation of what happened, what things mean, etc.. --Steve-o 14:14, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Is that you, X-Bob? --ItsWalky 15:30, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Why does my request keep getting removed without answer? Am I breaking a rule, or something? If I am, sorry, I was just trying to make a simple request, you could always just say no. - SoundWave 23:15, 19 October 2013 (EDT)

There should be an "official" (at least on tfwiki) name for an universal cluster that would link all fan-fiction and personal canon. That would allow me to name my group's universe that we use when playing with the toys. Most likely, the name would be (something)685.04-SB Theta (or possibly Zeta, since we are turning the stories into a comic. We'll see.)

Of course, I could invent (something) for myself, but it would be cooler if there was an actual name for all fan made stuff, otherwise, my continuity is all alone in its "cluster" and that's kinda sad...

In case it was intended that Theta and Zeta should only encompass official media (since fan stuff is not mentioned) we would also need a new final greek letter. Continuing the Greek alphabet, the next one would be Mu, but sounds kinda lame (and so do Nu and Xi). Omicron sounds awesome, so to get it for "personal canon" we would need three more filler media to pass these letters. I suggest Mu: Mime (as theta, but no words) nu: Sky writing (you know, with planes leaving fumes) Xi: telepathy (in case some alien wants to tell us about the transformers...) These forms would rarely be used, but are there just so "Personal canon" can get Omicron! Though seriously, Theta is fine by me if allowed for unofficial product.

The real trouble is for the first name, since our toys come from many of the continuities, but are all bunched together for us. So were not Primax ou Aurex, etc.

Any suggestions from you guys?
