Talk:List of Verses/@comment-1988716-20131221062533/@comment-1988716-20131221130447

I'd rather ask before I edit on a matter like this, both so I don't do something stupid and so people can see the reasoning that goes into whatever decision is made.

So what I'm thinking is putting the "Non-Canon Verses" into the actual list of verses-- really, there's no reason to discriminate here, they're still in the mythos, they're still verses, they belong on the Fear Mythos List of Verses. I'm also thinking of putting Dreadful Encounters and The Cloudverse into the main list (just because a Verse includes elements from, say, the SCP Foundation, or just because a Verse includes stories that do not focus on Fears, does not mean that Verse itself is no longer a fully-recognized Fear Mythos Verse). We, the Afflicted raises other questions in my mind, though. Is it a mythos or a Verse? Is it a mythos with one single canon? Why is it on this page (honest question here)?

I'm also thinking of adding a description to the "Other Verses" section that explains why they're in a different section. If they're actually intended as part of another mythos but we can technically say they're in the Fear Mythos because they use Fears, I would say that counts as an "Other Verse." But I want to clarify all this stuff with you guys first.

One last thing, and this one is more pedantic rambling clarification: Everyone is clear that a canon and a Verse are effectively synonymous, right? A Verse could be a uniVerse or a multiVerse, but either way if stories take place in a set Verse that means they take place in a set canon, too. And if something is not canonical, all that means, literally speaking, is that it took place in a Verse that is identical to the one in question but just not recognized by the person responsible. If we have cases like that in the Fear Mythos, both Verses-- both canons-- would go on this list.

The only reason I bring up the canon matter is because I think keeping it in mind makes managing a list like this much easier. Otherwise it's easy to get swept up with the technicalities of what constitutes a Verse and what Verses belong where on this page.

BUT YES, LET'S GET A DIALOGUE GOING, ARE MY PROPOSED EDITS OKAY, WHAT NEEDS TO BE WORKED ON
