Canonical issues

Main article: Buffyverse canon

Buffy novels, such as this one are generally not considered by fans as part of canon. They are usually not viewed as official Buffyverse reality, but are novels from the authors’ imaginations. However unlike fanfic, ’overviews’ summarising their story, written early in the writing process, were ’approved’ by Fox, who in turn may or may not have have sought appoval from Whedon (or his office). The book will be published as official Buffy merchandise.
