Those should probably be split into a new supertrope about adaptations with involvement of the original author(Author Aided Adaptation?).

There is now an alternative titles crowner for this trope here. Feel free to add names as you see fit.

Support rename. Current name sounds like it has something to do with golems.

So, this is a subtrope of Canon Foreigner?

OK, so I've moved the last wicks from Born of Clay to Godcreated Canon Foreigner and worked around the description a bit according tot he proposals from the thread. Here's the old description for reference:

Purist fans often reject characters and plots that are not found in the original work but are included in adaptations. A lot of this has to do with perceived quality, while other times it's just the fact that original authors don't always have strong control of adaptations once they sell the rights to them elsewhere. They just learn to deal with Adaptation Decay, and see it as someone else's problem.

Occasionally though, you have a character who is designed by the creator, but for whatever reason, isn't included in the original work. This makes the fan task of establishing canon difficult. The character might not fit in the old chronology, but the Word of God implies they have a sort of elevated 'legitimacy'. Mostly though, this is a case of the creator feeling they had a good idea after their work was released, and finding a new chance to use it.

Can we close this, or does it still need refinign in the description?
