Boo-yah! Eligibility Post!
Welcome! To the 2019 Eligibility Post!
This is the place to make your case for any canons that you know live in the gray area of "does this count as ten years old?" I will keep a running list here of the canons that I have decided on, one way or another.
When making your case, please include the canon's full name (as you would nominate it in the tagset), the date(s) of all the canon material that has been released, and your reasoning as to why I should accept it. Here's an example:
ETA 2/10/19: In cases of tie-in comics and novels, my rule of thumb is: 1. are the tie-ins well known? 2. are they by the same creators? and 3. does it clearly follow the original canon in terms of continuity/characters? If the answer is "no" to at least two of these, I won't consider them as disqualifying material. If you disagree with me about a particular judgment call, feel free to point out why - I'm not super familiar with everything, and Google can only do so much!

When making your case, please include the canon's full name (as you would nominate it in the tagset), the date(s) of all the canon material that has been released, and your reasoning as to why I should accept it. Here's an example:
Ella Enchanted - Gail Carson Levine (1997)
A prequel, Ogre Enchanted, was published in 2018. While the events of Ogre take place in the same timeline/continuity, it follows a main character who did not appear in Ella. The main cast of Ogre is for the most part completely separate, apart from two characters (their identities being spoilers) who were extensively mentioned in Ella, but appeared only briefly in the original book. Therefore, I feel as if the two novels should be considered separate canons.

(Anonymous) 2019-02-02 05:31 am (UTC)(link)The Revolutionary Girl Utena franchise spans a number of different media, but the most prominent are the manga series published in 1996 and 1997, the anime series that aired during 1997, and the animated movie that was released in 1999. Each of these depicts the same basic set of characters but takes place in a slightly different continuity.
In 2017, the series celebrated its 20th anniversary with the release of a set of 3 manga chapters taking place after the events of the series. However, the backstories referenced in these chapters establish it as taking place in yet another continuity, one which combines elements of all three of the aforementioned continuities.
I'm specifically interested in the characters in their anime incarnations, and I feel that the new material in the manga is sufficiently set apart from the anime as to count as a different canon.

If someone wants to also nominate the manga, I would like to hear your reasoning why you feel the new chapters shouldn't disqualify it! (General you, not you personally, anon.)
