Laugh so many weird ideas kind fun derail think.

I think the argument is kind of pointless if the meaning of the word "canon" is explained. I can see what both sides mean, but "inspiration" would've been better and saved a lot of trouble.

I think kris was just trying to redirect the "OG CANON" focus to the SA thread instead of MH... I could be mistaken.

Also, mods? is there a section for flamewars? honestly a lot of the past 2 pages sounds like people unnecessarily picking apart the wording of comments while ignoring the meaning behind them.

let's get back to fostering a discussion appropriate to the topic on hand.

I agree, it's super frustrating that these series start with excellent momentum and stall out part way from a myopically planned plot. And others who create filler while they write incredibly complicated ways to tie up loose ends are equally as frustrating. I really think the whole waiting part of it is really more due to the fact that as much as I don't want to believe it, these projects are labors of love that are sometimes hard to find time to fit into real lives.

If only all these people could have budgets, or even returns on some dvd profits to help support their endeavors.

More emphasis needs to be put on ending series and not just letting them fade off, but I suspect with the impending end of at least 3 major series, a few precedents (and expectations) will be set that will help smaller series become more ambitious about their own endings.
But still, a word to the wise (and young series) PLAN AN EXIT STRATEGY FROM THE GET-GO, maybe not a whole one, but at least know where your trajectory will approximately land...

The subject is really getting away from me, here. To be fair, though, I did ask a question a while back that hasn't been responded to yet.

HEY! YOU KNOW WHAT'S TOTALLY OFF-TOPIC AND BORING TO READ ABOUT?
The semantics of "canon".

Meh, the thread's pretty much over. We've established that Slendervlogs ending properly is the exception rather than the rule, and that if you want to end yours, you should end it pretty much the same way everything ends, only not.

I'm not gonna get anymore into it, but I do want to clarify that I never meant to imply that I believe everything but Marble Hornets is just fan fiction. (But I'm also not going to suck up to the creators of any other Slenderproject, regardless of how every touchy teenager on this site feels about their ~*favorite series*~.)

I also never meant to "shit all over" anything, although based on the argument I was having with what's-his-name, it seems that any kind of critique of any work that someone else admires automatically = shitting all over it. So... Whoops?

P.S. KrisT, which work did you create? Let me know so I can be sure to shit allllllllllllll over it.
