Warning: Fanon and accusations of Fanon are a classic [[Internet Backdraft]], with the accusation commonly leveled by fans that have a different [[Alternate Character Interpretation|interpretation of the material]] — even when their theory is just as vulnerable to [[Schrodinger's Gun]].

Compare [[Broad Strokes]], where the events of a story are referenced in passing without taking everything said and done as having "officially" happened. If the fanon was repeatedly hinted at by writers until it became fanon, but never actually confirmed in canon, it's [[Writer Induced Fanon]]. See also [[Fandom Specific Plot]]. Not to be confused with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frantz_Fanon this] Fanon or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papal_Fanon the Pope's robe].
