I always like when something I post gets other people to start posting two. Whether it turns into a cooperation or they take the story in another direction entirely.
When I started posting the chapters that were just focused on the changes, I was worried that they'd be poorly received for a lack of character building/analysis. But I was planning to have chapters that focus on it after the assembly ends and everyone heads out.
Seeing your take on it has been really great, and even gave me some ideas for when I tackle the inward thoughts on the changes in upcoming chapters.
Also, I agree with Cork 100%. There really is no non-canon here. That's kind of the glory of this site. If you want to add to the story, then go right ahead. If it's something I don't feel I could expand on or I want to see where you're going with it, I'll probably leave it. But, it may work perfectly with the direction I'm going and I may keep going from it. (Hard to say until it happens, you know?)
