I've been friends with a pair of twins for most of my life. They can't stand each other and aren't on speaking terms at the moment. I'd count twin recognition as a win here, but the writers don't know your head-canon...heck, I don't even know your head-canon beyond the twin status and ripped shirt/bandana, and I've been reading your posts for a two years or so.
Create some fan-fic for the writers to borrow from |

Some of them must. That's probably how a lot of them got started.

Most writers specifically avoid "borrowing" from fanfic (besides their own) because they don't want to get sued.
The answer is to write fanfic, get noticed, and become an official writer who can incorporate their fanfic. |

If this is the way their relationship is going to be--at-odds to non-existent, for the life of the franchise, then why bother.......... :( :( :( Something new would have been nice, and long awaited. Zarana showing some GENUINE affection and care for Zandar... If she can do it for Zartan, she can manage it for her own twin. I don't know... is it worth sticking it out with the Energon Universe with things starting off this way for Zarana & Zandar?

For Dreadnok Twins, I will make the argument that it is even more simple than that. Enjoy the story elements you like, ignore the parts you don't and fill in the blanks with your own writing. Nobody has the ability to force a story on you unless you give them that power. Take your power and make the story your own. You don't have to acknowledge what those who wrote before you wrote. You don't have to have their approval to have the story you want to have. It's your story. Write it for yourself. Enjoy it for yourself.

If someone came to me and said "we'll get this published!" I'd write. But, not happening, and writing fanfic feels like a hamster wheel. Going to cry myself to sleep. Good night.

My fanfic, If I write any, is pointless, has zero affect on anything official. is not canon, and will never be canon. It kills me, because in order to see what I've been hoping to see, no writer is interested. All most of them care about is making sure the hallowed Zartan/Zarana dynamic is there at the expense of Zarana & Zandar, over. and over and over and....
If someone came to me and said "we'll get this published!" I'd write. But, not happening, and writing fanfic feels like a hamster wheel. Going to cry myself to sleep. Good night. Hard truths: If you think your story only matters if others validate it by making it official, then it is worthless. Assign the worth yourself and make it official to yourself. It's your choice. Don't make your choice pointless.

If I say my writing is canon, in the way Larry Hama's is canon, I will be laughed out of the fandom...

So don't. Let Larry have his story. Have your story. Let me have my story. Let everyone have their own story. This is fiction. There is no right or wrong.
