I don't like starwars ....

NO gets my vote. Have you SEEN some of these fanfics? By their own terms, some fanfics are gold from one's own heart, but compared to OWI, they all just don't have that particular trait needed to create a good OW story.

I wish not to bash someone else's hard finger-breaking work on a fanfic, but it's true. The fanfics don't have that special thing. In fact, a number of them would make Oddworld incredibly cheezier. The minds behind OWI can freely do as they wish, but I think following the ideas of fans is not the best idea out there for any bussiness like OWI. Maybe a few things of inspiration from the fan-made stuff is possible, but not the actual plots from them.
That's why I said they'd go through Oddworld Inhabitants first to be approved. That way only the good ones go through. :P
Lorne doesn't seem the type, to me, to hesitate in saying he thinks something is crap and will not be accepted into the universe (probably disguising it by saying there were 'creative differences').

Also, I did mention I hadn't read the fanfics.
