I'm not trying to dismiss your opinion, but I honestly can't see the link. IMO, fanfic isn't really canon because it's not written by the author.

Nothing's simple. That's why I write.

My personal belief is that no one is innocent, and that some fics are more canon than others, but none of them are entirely canon, however good the fic's writer. That's just me, though. And I like the loss of innocence.
