Headcanon: Difference between revisions

[http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/headcanon Knowyourmeme.com has traced "headcanon"] back to a July 2007 [[Live JournalLiveJournal]] post, where a [[Fanfic]] author used the term, possibly coining it, to describe her interpretation of a character from ''[[Ben 10]]''. By 2008 the term was in use in multiple fandoms across LiveJournal. It was first spotted outside LiveJournal in 2009, and within months had spread across the web as a standard usage. It consequently [[Memetic Mutation|spawned the meme]] "Headcanon accepted" (with corresponding [[Image Macro]]s).

Not to be confused with [[BFG|headcannon]], no matter what ''[[Xkcd|xkcd]]'' says.
