->''"We get at least four "newbie" immortals, which leaves one to wonder [[FridgeLogic how there can ever be only one if new immortals keep getting born]]. My personal fan-{{retcon}} is that the start of the Gathering marks the end of new immortals being born. So Richie and the other newbies are members of the last generation of immortals, born just before the beginning of the Gathering. It's a theory that hasn't been contradicted by anything in the continuity of the franchise except for ''Film/HighlanderTheSource'', [[FanonDiscontinuity which is so bad that it should never count]]."''

->With the advent of the Internet—which largely occurred after Jenkins wrote his work—fans actively connect, link, and discuss with other fans, and in doing so go beyond “poaching”: what they construct can no longer be seen as a mere reworking of the source text, as the aura attached to the source text has largely disappeared. The original authorized text is no longer at the center of the universe of fandom; storylines, characters and additions created by fans ensure that multiple readings and plots hold value. Linking to other websites is an important tool to spread these diversified interpretations, and through online discussion fans arrive at a multiplicity of interpretations that are in constant competition with each other.

->''[=ArtemisMisteriosa=]''’s reappropriation of the text is in fact still rather conservative, in that it does nothing to introduce new characters. That is the prerogative of the fan: an appreciation of the original does not preclude an alternate storyline, nor does a contentious relationship to the original producers or text preclude a genuine investment in a text’s characters.

->'''Headcanon''': I can muster a cogent argument for why it would make more sense or make for a better story if this were the case\\
'''Heartcanon''': I don’t have a particular rationale for why this ought to be the case, I just like to imagine it's true because it gives me the warm fuzzies\\
'''Gutcanon''': it's not that I actively ''want'' this to be the case – it just unaccountably feels like it ''should'' be\\
'''Junkcanon''': I like to imagine it's true because it gives me the ''other'' kind of warm fuzzies\\
'''Spleencanon''': I insist that this is the case specifically to spite the author, because, like, fuck you, sir or madam
