Fan Lore

The foundry is open. Alternate origins, untold runs, and community-built stories — all labeled, all welcome, none of it canon.

Community space — not canon

How fan lore works here

Nikki Steele’s official record is two words long, which makes her lore an open forge by design. This page collects community tellings — alternate origins, unseen scenarios, what-if threads. The rules:

1. Label it. Every entry carries its author’s name and the words “fan lore — not canon.”
2. Don’t contradict the two words. Bold and sharp are load-bearing. Everything else is negotiable.
3. Don’t claim canon. Ever. (See Canon & Honesty.)
4. The owner wins ties. If the owner publishes official lore, it supersedes fan lore on contact.

Seed tellings

To start the forge, three prompts from this site’s own interpretation:

• The first red strap. Where did it come from? Who gave it to her — or did she take it? (See The Red Line.)
• The quietest night run. A telling of the one run where she stopped — and why. (See Night Runs.)
• The Ghost. Who knew her before the chrome? (See Rivals & Allies.)

Submit your lore

Fan lore submissions open with the site’s launch. Until then, write it, label it, and keep it sharp — the foundry will be taking entries soon.

Source notes

• Fan lore is community creative work, never app canon — see Canon & Honesty.
• Canon: the app card “Bold, sharp…” (Vizlings app).
