Canon expansions?

[mythicmistress]

Does anyone have something that they would have loved to see in canon that they wouldn't necessarily entrust to a fanfic writer? (No offense intended to those who write missing scenes fanfic and the like.)

For me, as an Animorphs fan, I would have loved Chronicles books focused on the Taxxons, Pemalites and Chee. Along with an expanded edition of Visser with some time spent on Visser Three. (Partly to see what the inner workings of Yeerk society is like, partly so the cover doesn't lie.)

Also, for the Mega Man franchise, something to bridge the gaps in between individual game series. I always find myself wondering what happened to the rest of the cast in between the Mega Man X and Mega Man Zero series, and would like to see a game set during the Elf Wars.

(Sorry for the edit, i forgot some things)

I also think that JKR's Marauders are very different from how fandom always envisioned them. I was a huuuge Marauder fangirl back in the day, way before OoTP, and I just get the sense that fandom added a lot more nuance than what JK Rowling envisions. For instance, her Peter Pettigrew seems to have just been a hapless follower, whereas sometimes Marauder fandom did do that, but often made it a bit more complicated. I think on the whole they were something of a tragic hero set. Which isn't a bad thing at all (other than very sad), just so different from the direction fandom has taken them.

I definitely don't trust JK Rowling with Harry Potter anymore either, though. Which is so sad, because I was always on the defense about her decisions way back when, even though it was sometimes fandom unpopular to be. I even liked most of canon ships. But she's made creative decisions that I haven't been totally on board with in the time since.
