This feels like a clone of Fanon Discontinuity, only allowing additions. Or just Fanon. Maybe that's just me.

It also really looks like it's just "fanfic is different from the source material sometimes".

To me: the fanon discountintuty is an audience reaction- this **** never happened, and this is more of a Pragmatic Adaptation of canon into fanfiction

At most, it's a subtrope of Fanon. I'm not entirely sure if it's distinct enough, though.

The Internet misuses, abuses, and overuses everything.

Clocking due to lack of activity.

Waiting on a TRS slot? Finishing off one of these cleaning efforts will usually open one up.

Apples and oranges here. Acceptable Breaks from Canon is about Fan Fics and Fanon Discontinuity is just fan's fantasies.

I think that a better proposal might be to merge it with Fanon.

Fanon is about canon. Acceptable Breaks from Canon is about Fan Fics (and aversions of They Changed It, Now It Sucks!). Still apples/oranges

[up] Since this is a page action crowner, feel free to add in a different suggestion.

Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!

Done. Can't see the OP's issue with it without seriously misreading the trope description

Calling crowner: move bad examples to Fanon and Fanon Discontinuity.

All the on-page examples seem to be correct. I'll check the Related page soon.

Didn't find much misuse. If no one has to comment, will ask for thread closure soon.

Looks like this has been done. Nice.
