There seems to be this gigantic divide in HDG fandom between people who want to stick to the “setting ethos” and people who don’t give a shit. E.g. I’ve seen noncon identity death that doesn’t seem like it’s challenging the setting or criticizing the setting. It seems like “this is what I want to write in any setting, so it’s what I write in HDG.”

TBF, what “shared universe” doesn’t contradict the first author’s “setting ethos”? Even central control like Star Wars isn’t a guarantee.
