But then we're back to "It's canon, it's law, it is the universe" and nothing fan-made can change this universe. (Although with ST:R we can try really really hard)

There's a special word for those that insist the universe isn't the way it is and keep saying it actually works their way. These people are normally on meds of some kind.

I chose the Bastion as his point of origin..

Sticking with canon would be what the comunity, as a hole would probably want..
As for me, I chose canon, as to why, why not.

Gotta agree. Canon is canon, even if canon (ST) sucks. The only exceptions are when canon contradicts canon. And even when that happens, anyone can "creatively" come up with a plausible scenario in fanon. Canon can be disregarded in fanon (ST:R ) however much you like if you want to.

Canon is like the U.S. Constitution. It is what it is. However, you can amend it anyway you want with awesome/terrible fanon, but the original will never change.
