History Main / WordofGod

* The Exile in ''KnightsOfTheOldRepublic 2'' is canonically female, which caused an outcry among fans, since the Brianna romance was far more interesting and rounded than the alternative.
* Most WordOfGod for the ''HalfLife'' series is collected at the "[[http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2503050 Marc Laidlaw Vault]]" (named for the game's writer).

* Writers Steven Applebaum and Ryan Hoss of the Film/SuperMarioBros. sequel comic regularly add background details for each page, while clarifying other issues in the comments.

* The author of ''FanFic/KiraIsJustic'' uses Author's Notes often to elaborate about facts in the story, and is always happy to give WordOfGod.

Not to be read as VideoGame/WorldOfGoo. See also {{Revision}}, CanonDiscontinuity, CreatorWorship, BrokenBase. When the word does not come from the creator himself but from someone involved in some ancillary role in production, that's WordOfSaintPaul. When the word does not come from the original creators but over time is still treated as such it is WordOfDante. Not always ends up giving fans the answers they were looking for, such as in the case of a FlipFlopOfGod or a ShrugOfGod. Contrast DeathOfTheAuthor, WhatCouldHaveBeen and GodNeverSaidThat. WordOfGay is a subtrope. One way that a theory can be {{Jossed}}. For actual scripture, see "Religion" under UsefulNotes.

* The author of FanFic/KiraIsJustice uses Author's Notes often to elaborate about facts in the story, and is always happy to give WordOfGod.
* Sometimes used in Fanfic/WhiteDevilOfTheMoon to address matters such as Nanoha's reactions to her past life as Serenity, and how four Inner Senshi are able to defeat six trained Bureau operatives despite being less well-trained and not having Usagi/Nanoha's leadership.
* The character's corner and author's note in FanFic/TheTaintedGrimoire have both clarified a few things, such as reasons for making one thing the way it is. Also, through private messaging, cuttingmoon57 revealed him/herself to be a fan of TVTropes.

* At the end of the ''VideoGame/DarkSeed'' 2 [[{{WebVideo/Retsupurae}} wrongpurae]], {{Slowbeef}} said he contacted the creator of the game, who said that it was intentionally left vague [[spoiler:whether or not the dark world actually exists, or if Mike Dawson is just crazy.]] Fortunately, nobody cares about Dark Seed canon.

** Since ''Film/TheAvengers'' has hit the theaters this situation can be solved: [[spoiler: Although there is a lot of tension in the beginning and everybody treads very carefully around the Hulk, he is part of the team and drives into the sunset with Tony Stark.]]

* Misled in ''Film/HalloweenII1981''. It was initially stated by the creators that [[spoiler: Michael burned to death]]. However, they were forced to retcon this in ''Film/Halloween4TheReturnOfMichaelMyers'' due to poor reception of ''Film/HalloweenIIISeasonOfTheWitch''.]]

* Dan Shive of ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'' has often answered questions through Q&A comics. He also used to do so through the forum but has since ceased posting because of repetitive, predictable complaining. He has started answering questions via [[http://www.formspring.me/DanShive formspring]] but seems to be very selective about which questions he answers. On the other hand he [[http://twitter.com/#!/dantheshive tweets]] liberally about El Goonish Shive, often using the hashtag #EGS and more recently #EGScomics.

* In a recent interview about ''X/1999'', Nanase Ohkawa, the script writer for {{CLAMP}}, mentioned several times to the interviewer that [[AllLovingHero Kamui]] and [[BigBad Fuuma]] are now [[HoYay more than friends, apparently]], despite the fact that not only are they mortal enemies, and while tension is apparent, they've stayed pretty firmly in "good friends" territory, but Kamui is still enamored with his [[spoiler:dead]] childhood friend, the (female) Kotori. She even told the interviewer not to call them friends, as if no one can figure out that CLAMP has a thing for sudden homosexual relationships.

She even told said interviewer several times that they were more than friends, as if no one else can figure that CLAMP has a thing for sudden homosexual relationships.

** Another one involving Scott; is [[Film/{{Hannibal}} Hannibal Lecter a madman? While most, including Anthony Hopkins, would ''not'' deny it, Scott does not think so. In Scott's own words in his audio commentary on ''Film/{{Hannibal}}'', "There is something very moral about Lecter in this film. The behavior of Hannibal is never insane – [I] didn't want to use that excuse. Is he insane? No, I think he's as sane as you or I. He just likes it." Having said that, Scott went on to say that he did think that Verger's objective in the film, wanting to capture Hannibal and subject him to a horrible death by torture, likely made him replace Hannibal as the true antagonist.

* ''Series/PowerRangersRPM'' is stated to take place in an AlternateUniverse, separate from the other Ranger series. Good thing too, or else that would have meant all the previous Rangers and/or their descendants would have been horribly killed in the end and all their work for naught.[[hottip:* : Although with Power Rangers being UnCanceled again, this might change.]] On a lighter note, Tommy really does end up marrying Kat and Kimberly eventually marries Skull, although for [[DieForOurShip obvious reasons]], those little tidbits are all but ignored.

*** Johnathan Tzachor, producer of the franchise for all of Saban's seasons, has confirmed that any season he didn't produce either in part or full (Series/PowerRangersNinjaStorm, Series/PowerRangersDinoThunder, Series/PowerRangersSPD, Series/PowerRangersMysticForce, Series/PowerRangersOperationOverdrive, Series/PowerRangersJungleFury and Series/PowerRangersRPM) are no longer considered as being part of the franchise's canon.
**** Actually that's what he wanted but Saban denied that and all series are canon.

** Nickelodeon's site states that the final fate of Azula, [[spoiler: locked up in an asylum and monitored around the clock for her own protection. She just may have a chance of recovery in the future, however]].

* ''Series/HoratioHornblower'': According to Creator/JamieBamber, Archie is the third son of Scottish lord. He mentioned it in his interviews for A&E Network and it appears in the book ''The Making of C.S. Forester's Horatio Hornblower''. Given Archie's status as a CompositeCharacter and AscendedExtra, the majority of his backstory is composed of either the actors' and writers' statements about him, or {{Fanon}}.

* Pendleton Ward's [[http://www.formspring.me/buenothebear formspring]] almost seems to contain more background information about ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' than the show itself does. If you include WordOfSaintPaul from creative director Adam Muto, character designer Natasha Allegri, and others, there's no contest. Ages, species, lands, history, clarification, there's a lot on there. (This may be in part because of Adventure Time's notoriously RuleOfCool driven nature.)
