  Canon + Fan-Fiction = Fanon - Occult Investigator   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Fanon is a portmanteau word of fan and canon.
A variation of fanon is “personal canon”;, which is a set of “fanon”-like facts that are accepted as canon by an individual fan or a group of fans.
Proponents of “fanon” or “personal canon”; have been known to be offended when these terms are used, as “fanon” facts have often become better accepted than canon.

 Retcon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Retcons are common in comic books, especially those of large publishing houses such as Marvel Comics and DC Comics, due to the lengthy history of many series and the number of independent authors contributing to their development; this is the context in which the term was coined.
It is also used in roleplaying, when the game master feels it is needed to maintain consistency in the story or to fix significant mistakes that were missed during play.
The prequel series Star Trek: Enterprise was considered a retcon by some, as it contradicted fanon that had been established over the years by fans.

 INTRODUCTION TO U.N.C.L.E. FAN FICTION
The first U.N.C.L.E. fan fiction probably appeared during the series original run, but experienced its first real rush of wide spread popularity around the time of The Return Movie in the early 1980's.
About 10 years later (around the time of the first cable showings of the series) interest was revived with the new editions of the popular anthology series Kuryakin Files, among others, and the appearance of some of U.N.C.L.E.'s best loved writers within their pages.
The world of U.N.C.L.E. fan fiction is available both on the Internet and in print.

Frantz Fanon (1925-61) was a Martinique-born fl psychiatrist and anticolonialist intellectual; The Wretched of the Earth is considered by many to be one of the canonical books on the worldwide fl liberation struggles of the 1960s.
A Dying Colonialism is Fanon's incisive and illuminating account of how, during the Algerian Revolution, the people of Algeria changed centuries-old cultural patterns and embraced certain ancient cultural practices long derided by their colonialist oppressors as "primitive," in order to destroy those oppressors.
Fanon uses the fifth year of the Algerian Revolution as a point of departure for an explication of the inevitable dynamics of colonial oppression.

 A World of Books 2000: International Classics (Library of Congress)
Although some titles are nonfiction and have influenced public affairs and scholarship, most are works of fiction and the products of creative imaginations.
Couto's work is "a synthesis of three of the main strands in post-colonial African literature: the historical, the existential and the literature of ordinary life." Born in Mozambique in 1957 of first generation Portuguese immigrants, Couto is also an accomplished poet and a first-rate journalist.
The violent, massive, unrelenting seizure of individuals from vibrant participation within a generalized African culture, followed by the alienation and negation of slavery, is present in the first poem: "Ils sont venus ce soir." Subsequent poems were carefully constructed to give the appearance of personal cries of rage.

 Wonder Woman Fan Fiction
This is particularly useful in helping to separate 'canon' (the facts noted in the series itself) from 'fanon' (fan explanations, false-memories, or assumptions acted upon as if they were series canon).
It is fanon that she assumed the identity of a real Army Nurse named Diana Prince who married a man named Dan White.
Because the TV series never actually stated Diana's origin, it is a fan assumption that the TV series continuity matches the Golden Age comic books.
