User blog comment:DiegoAnime3000/Death Headcanons: Why not?/@comment-5041507-20140127143014

I think the real issue is that people are blurring the line between "This is what I think will happen." and "Wouldn't it be cool if this happened."

The reason that's a problem is that we already have a name for the second one, and it's not "headcanon", it's "fanfiction".

I will admit to being guilty of the same thing. I've just never taken it to the extreme of trying to predict the future. People need to move all speculation on the future of the series to the fanon wiki. Team RWBY could already be dead next episode or they could never die and in fact, become immortal. The writers can do whatever they want. There is no way for us to know what will happen. That means that any discussion of future events is nothing more than fanfiction and should be treated as such.
