Personal Colonies

[Alpha Sceptile]

I would like to add my Frames, their colony (i made it up) and the drivers to the lore. I understand that there are fanfictions, but is it practical? Like the serpent group, they are cannon, and i think they are fanmade. So how does that work?

Note: Correct me if any information is wrong

Technically only stuff that Joshua and Soren write are canon. You would have to convince them to include whatever you have made to make it "official", and from what I know about them that's very unlikely.

But, frankly, post whatever you have written on the fanfic section for now, anyway. Nothing to lose. Things like Twanks LLC and the rest of the Budget Frame Wars are all fan-made and we don't love them any less.

'Canon' is a ridiculous concept to apply to the setting given that it is designed explicitly to offer a lot of design freedom to people who want to make stuff up. That was an explicit goal. Every time I posted here, I intentionally made sure to leave room for people to imagine and add to the setting, just as though we were collaborating.

That very little has really been added to the 'canon' by the forum speaks to the attitude that's au courant around here, which is to wait breathlessly for word from on high. Given that Joshua and I are never going to work together again, it seems reasonable to consider your work at least as 'canonical' as mine.

However if I need to be more explicit about my permission, I'm declaring I posted before MF0 was even out to be Solar Calendar canon. See how easy it is?

You aren't being asked to leave, you're being asked to behave. The moderator action against you here is not about your interaction with Vitoria on Discord, it is about your behavior here. The moderator action against you has nothing to do with your friendship with moderators or whether the community has outgrown you, it is about your behavior here. You have acknowledged that your behavior is becoming toxic, and it is not appropriate for this space.

I cannot imagine the community would benefit from a definitive statement about your grief with Joshua. It's between the two of you, it also has no place here.
If you are truly at your limit, and you cannot participate without trying to create a negative impression of Joshua, pejorative depictions of the community, or otherwise antagonizing our members, then it is probably for the best that you step away now and hopefully one day you will find it in yourself to be positive and constructive here once more.

To make the path forward absolutely clear both for you and for the combined moderation team, you are being issued a formal warning. Further failure to participate as a good citizen will result in a permanent ban.
