so i'm fine writing follow-up stories in the universe but I need to finish the revamp first and there needs to be a clear narrative purpose for them. The following is my own personal opinion and in no way affects how i feel about the work of others-- particularly Apollo Studios because I love Blayke to death. i personally think that non-canon stuff can be fun to read or experience, it's just not for me as a creator.
My opinion: I'm personally against writing non-canon stories. i think they're fun to debate and sometimes I'll drop a pic set on the Patreon page every now and then but that's very rare. It's mostly because I think it gets confusing. you'd have to really follow the project and pay attention to the socials to follow what's canon and what's not and I think that's asking a lot of a reader. the consequence of that, as the creator, is then i get bombed with questions to clarify story elements and I end up having to explain what's canon and what isn't and it can easily just turn into a distracting mess for me. In my early creating days, I considered doing a lot more non-canon stuff but as time has gone on, i realized those intentions were guided more by me just trying to drum up interest in the characters or get traffic-- and as a creator, that was the wrong position for me to take. my stance now is that I want to be true to my characters and prove to the audience that i'm careful with them and the story even if that means less traffic, views, financial gain, etc. that being said, i'm human and sometimes I'll just get some desire to do something off the rails for fun and I may share that but I can't see me ever doing a mini-side project of something non-canon because I would literally get blown up with messages from people asking how it fits into the story even if i clarified in the project that it was non-canon.
