Quote:ClassicDrogn wrote:I would imagine that it's because Gryphon is often his own worst critic, and removes stories at his own whim. Several pieces of the whole have been scrapped, removed, rewritten, and purged over the past 25 years. The Bubblegum Crisis fics have gone through at least two incarnations, there's half of his little cyberpunk story that he keeps down in the Vaults missing, and he's redone the Cybertron stories twice. A wiki would likely keep those around, and if he wants them gone, he wants them gone, rather than someone saying, "There's this other version of this story that can be found here." And he doesn't want to run the wiki himself. Ergo, no wiki.
I have considerable respect for him as a writer, but I get the impression Gryphon's a bit of a control freak when it comes to "his baby." That's his prerogative, I suppose, even if it seems a bit silly to me when the material in question is almost-by-definition-unauthorized fanfiction.
And, isn't "unauthorized fanfiction" inherently redundant?
