| | Canon (fiction) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Canonicity of fiction is a distinctly modern idea, since earlier ages, before the current ideas of intellectual property came about, did not distinguish between "official" and "unofficial" sources of stories. |
 | | In the context of fiction, the canon of a fictional universe comprises those novels, stories, films, etc. that are considered to be genuine (or "official"), and those events, characters, settings, etc. that are considered to have inarguable existence within the fictional universe. |
 | | The canon for this world comprises all the comics not stated to be set in an alternate universe, except those specifically contradicted by later stories. |
