DPP: Canon v. Fanon

[workerbee73.livejournal.com]

Canon \ˈka-nən\-- n.  The authentic works of a writer; a sanctioned or accepted group or body of related works.

Fanon \ˈfa-nən\-- n.  A term used in fanfiction to describe commonly accepted ideas among authors even if they are not actually expressed in the canon work.

So today I'm curious about fanon.  Is it supported by the source material?  How the hell did we come up with it?  Does it enrich our experience of the text and other stories?  Help or hindrance?

YOUR MISSION:
A.  Help me come up with a list of commonly accepted fanon ideas in the K/l-verse.  Here's a few to get us started:

1.  Kara and Lee are like the best pilots ever OMG.
2.  Lee and Zak's family had money.
3.  Zak was brilliant in another area other then vipers, such a raptor piloting or communications.
4.  Kara was a high-school pyramid champion.
5.  Starbuck and Apollo and famous throughout the Academy, and later after the show starts, throughout the Fleet.
6.  That there is such a thing as a D-CAG (deputy CAG).

I'm sure I've left out a bunch-- that's where I need your help.

B.  Discuss.  Are these ideas supported/not supported by canon?  How does it enrich the development of the characters as you see them?


Good luck.  : )

I believe it was "His and Hers Relationship Calendars". Lee has totally made one for him and Kara. It's why we never see the inside of his locker, cause it would reveal his EPIC LOVE. :D

He absolutely made one for each of them here (complete with pictures of apple carts for each month)....and then Kara went and lost hers ;P

Maybe for some big anniversary when Kara's feeling somewhat sentimental, she gets them His and Hers Vipers.

Yeah, maybe one that Lee is completely clueless about ('cause Kara thinks of things that Lee doesn't)...so he can get that cute little what's going on look on his face :D

Yes! Lee would completely do it. And I love him for it b/c even though it's cheesy, it would remind Kara daily that she was loved, which is important b/c she needs to be reminded often.
