Yeah, I mean, of course I didn't actually invent this word. If nothing else, it's such an easy slushing together of words -- fan + canon -- that other folks probably stumbled across it just out of laziness, throughout the history of fans rewriting source material -- aka, since cave painting days.

But what is important here is that the INTERNET thinks *I* invented FANON! Thus making me SUPER FAMOUS! Kiss my staff! Me and Al Gore in '08!

(And Tzikeh, def. let me know what you find out?)
