Um, in these forums, DavidG's definition is correct (although that was just ONE ST nut and I hope there's not too many others like him).
But more generally, CANON (with one 'n') is a term borrowed from religion, meaning essentially 'accepted; according to doctrine'. Among us fans, it means 'that which is generally accepted to be a part of that fictional universe'.
In the SW universe, for example, the movies are dfinitely canon, so if you do a shipset with images from the movies, it's canon. If you take a few images from LucasArts computer games, most fans will still consider it canon. If you make up your own to 'fill' the set, it's non-canon.
It's no big deal, if you ask me.
PS - David, is your name pronounced the French (Davee) or the English way ?
