=== Finished Works ===

Finished Works refer to canons that are considered completed series and Public Domain. These canons are extremely stable and can snap back from distortions very easily. It is such that interventions are only required when actual SUEs appear in them. 

One way of defining a Finished Work is if it is a seminal work of fiction, and/or that this is a work that has a fundamental basis in some way to the formation of other canons. Works such as that of Shakespeare, or Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, pulp fiction, the Barsoom series, the Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Robert Heinlein's writings etc., would be considered "Finished Works".
