This isn't the first time I've seen King make comments like this in recent months and they are baffling.
The issue is that it becoming canon ultimately depends on how much other writers and the editorial liked your work, if it inspires people to build on what was established. Snyder talked about that very directly and gave that as the reason why he sought to tie so many things up as he didn't want to force his stuff on the next writer, but still wanted those elements to be there if someone wanted to continue with them.
King, instead, seems to... I don't even know how to put it as his sentiments just seem so weird.
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
