I don't like it either. Maybe this is an unpopular opinion, but I come to fandom to see fans' takes on the canon, not the author's.

I can definitely understand the impulse to write treats in my own world that are for whatever reason unmarketable or don't fit the 'brand' of canon. But I would definitely sock up in either of those cases.

Eh, it's canon divergence. It has no more weight than anyone else's.

It's the author. How do you not understand how that has more weight than everyone else's.

I write canon divergence and AUs for my canon all the time. That's fandom's problem if they think everything the author touches is canon.
