I do not think that any series should be made to bear the burden of

any

possible story.  Yes, you CAN write a story where the cast of KnO is
gangraped, or where the forces at conflict in X: 1999 decide to play
Trivial Pursuit for the destiny of the world, then everyone goes out

for a

burger afterwards.  But was there any point in writing THAT story

with 

that particular universe?  In my own opinion, when dealing with

stories

that have definite fixed authors, there's a certain disrespect for the
original author shown when you take any liberty you want with the

universe

that he or she has created.  Where exactly the line is drawn in any
particular case is another question.  I can't offer a formula for

how much

liberty is too much.

Exactly. I mean, obviously sometimes you break mood on purpose,
usually for humorous effect (look at all the FY spamfics that are
adverts) or lemons, but usually if you want to write a 'proper'
fanfic, you keep to the style of its parent.

*glares ominously* Is that meant to say that lemons all 'break the mood'
of the original story, hmmmm?
