canoniska

Canoniska refers to the concept of canonical works within a fictional universe. It denotes the officially recognized and accepted body of stories, characters, and events that are considered part of the "true" narrative of a particular franchise. This can include original novels, comic books, films, television series, or video games created by the original authors or rights holders. Anything that deviates from this established canon is considered non-canonical or fanon, meaning it is not officially part of the established universe. The concept of canon is crucial for maintaining narrative consistency and providing a foundation for future creative endeavors within the same universe. Fans often engage in discussions and debates about what constitutes canon, especially when multiple creators have contributed to a franchise over time or when adaptations diverge significantly from their source material. Understanding canon helps fans distinguish between official lore and fan-created content.
