We should have a podcast or something where we sit around and talk out these things. Like 'Hardball' only about Fic.
Now we're really into a whole 'nother topic of author intent. I think once it's out for commercial sale, it's a finished product. If the original version hadn't done well commercially, we never would have gotten Complete, whether it was intended or not. And then the original version would have been canon. It's a good chicken and egg conundrum. Did Han Shoot First, or not?
I think if you're going to be part of pop-culture/genre fiction, you have a few different considerations from capital L, capital C Literature and Culture. I mean, you have a little more leeway for cliches (and some are practically mandated by the genre). Aaaaaaand.....I'm sorry, I'm gonna finish my comment when I go home. I don't want to stay at work just to finish the comment, and I don't want to lose what I have written and have to rewrite it later. Please forgive me!
