Not having read the setting, nor being particularly interested in doing so I am going to play devils advocate here.

Personally I get a kick out of those folks who are seemingly obsessed with cannon and deride anyone who writes something they dont personally like.

Perhaps come down off of that pedestal and take a look at the material you appear to comparing this fanfic to.

40k fluff? Black library books? Sorry to say but its freshman level writing at its best. Little better in most cases then a random anime fanfic.

But his Stardust Empire idea simply does not fit with established 40k canon. End of. It cannot be saved.

Is this opinion or a fact?

Assume for a moment that you are correct in asserting the SE does not fit with established cannon.

My question then is quite simple: So what?

That entire treatise Foolamancer comes off as little more then a person putting anothers material down.

Then you admit your entire post serves as nothing but an attempt to derail the topic? The topic at no point asked for your "view" of the material. It asked if you wanted to take part.

If you want to bash someone elses poorly written fluff make a thread to do it.

Dont derail someones attempt to start a campaign. Its entirely unproductive posts like yours that make starting these kinds of things a pain in the ass in the first place
