      The widespread interfandom jargon of one's fic being "Jossed" (or invalidated by new canon material, a term derived from Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator Joss Whedon), or for elements of a still-incomplete fanfic to be negated or rendered implausible by the development of the canon text, speaks to the creative stakes in authoring fan texts that strive for fidelity.

Rowling's Harry Potter series (1997–2007) to discuss and interpret characters, emphasizing the series' continuing relevance as it intersects with other popular fandoms.
