When an author writes an unfinished story, but there is a promise it will continue, imagination is licensed to the audience. When the story ends, the license of the audience to imagine is revoked. This is the impossible problem of franchise fandom; you cannot reclaim territory ceded to imagination.

I have been enjoying this thoughtful and beautifully-written series from @uel.bsky.social, and the following essay in particular.
"[P]hotography could happen at any moment, and can never be fully undone once released to the network."
