canonverse

canonverse is usually a term used in fanfiction and you can find it on ao3 which is a fanfiction reading website.

for example, if the fanfiction is of a tv show then if you say canonverse, it means that the fanfiction setting is still set in the tv show era.
if it is not canonverse, then it means the tv show characters in the fanfiction would be set in a different setting. for example, highschool.
