The Difference Between Canon and Fanon

Canon is what happens in the Manga/Anime that is made by Kishimoto. For example, Naruto wears orange is Canon, Naruto was the deadlast. Canon. Naruto had a crush on Sakura. Canon. Naruto having a mask that fooled everyone? That is Fanon. Fanon is what people imagine about the Canon, a common example is the 'What If' questions. What if the Yondaime didn't seal the Kyuubi into Naruto? That is probably one of the most common 'What If' question in FanFiction history.

I will put up a list of Canon and Fanon for all you authors out there. Hopefully you will be able to spread the word. Credit to The Forum: The Guild for ideas.

Canon:
Naruto has a crush on Sakura
Hinata has a crush on Naruto
Neji was an arrogant prick only because his father died for the Main Branch
Sakura and Ino were fangirls until they started learning Medical Jutsu
Naruto was the deadlast in the academy
Sasuke was only an arrogant prick after the massacre
The villagers never beat Naruto physically

Fanon:
Naruto was hiding behind a mask
Naruto didn't actually like Sakura
Kyuubi calls Naruto 'Kit'
Naruto wears orange because no one will sell him anything else
Men can get pregnant
Itachi eats Pocky
Kyuubi has a gender
Sasuke thinks he should be trained by everyone because he is an Uchiha
Sasuke fears fangirls
Kurenai and Anko don't have an extremely close relationship
Anbu attack Naruto

Cliches: Yes, cliches. I have been guility of this but I will list all the cliches I know of.

The Mask: I've only done this once, and that was in Rinnegan Naruto: Dual Sealing. But I think that it should be gone. I assume that one person came up with this idea, and suddenly everyone copied it and made half-assed stories based on it. I also believe that some authors lack the originality and creativity so they use The Mask as an excuse to make Naruto stronger and smarter.

Sakura: Yes, she is a fangirl and was extremely annoying until she became Tsunade's apprentice, but she has gotten stronger and has also matured mentally after the Timeskip. However, I personally believe that her attitude is bad, as she hits Naruto for basically everything he says. Another thing, Sakura does not spontaneously decide to try to kill Naruto just because he didn't bring Sasuke back or hurt Sasuke badly. What's worse is, authors use this as an excuse for Naruto to become dark, angsty and then run away, become super powerful, and then another cliche comes. (Look below)

War with Konoha: As said above, one of the worst cliche's is that Naruto runs away/exiled, becomes extremely powerful, and then authors make it so that Konoha is with war with Iwa or Kumo and that they need the help of the great Shinobi "Blah Blah" which is Naruto's alias. Then he accepts just to see how bad Konoha became, and then authors make him have a flashback of all his good times, or they make Iruka or Jiraiya figure out who he is. Finally, the author makes him rejoin Konoha and he battles with a few people, and show his strength, and then leads an attack and wins the war, then wins the love of someone and happily ever after. Worst plot ever.

The Council: I have used this before, but I still think it should be addressed in which the extent of the actions of the Council. Yes, the council can order Shinobi to attack people, but the Council just ordering the Hokage what to do? Bull shit. What's the crime of not listening to the Council? Death of a Hokage? Banishment? Authors need to learn that the Council isn't as allmighty as some stories portray them as.
