Author intent is the meaning or interpretation of a fictional work that the author had in mind when he or she was creating it. Frequently in the various Transformers fictions, the author's intent ends up being unclear or even contradicted by the finished work. In these cases it is up to each fan to decide whether to accept the author's intent or the work as-released. Facts about the fiction that are stated/intended by the authors but never established in official fiction are often referred to as pseudocanon.

abstract
  • Author intent is the meaning or interpretation of a fictional work that the author had in mind when he or she was creating it. Frequently in the various Transformers fictions, the author's intent ends up being unclear or even contradicted by the finished work. In these cases it is up to each fan to decide whether to accept the author's intent or the work as-released. Sometimes the correct interpretation is obvious, but other times it ends up being a matter of debate. When the author's intent doesn't make it into the final product, can that intent still trump the "true" events as shown in the canon? This is an especially difficult question when one considers that the author's explanations, even if widely disseminated through the fandom, are still only known to a tiny portion of the fiction's full audience, which includes far more casual fans and children than it does devoted information-hounds. Facts about the fiction that are stated/intended by the authors but never established in official fiction are often referred to as pseudocanon.
