To use the fandom that makes me think of it the most: Lord of the Rings.
There is, famously, lots of notes, letters, and unreleased writings that eventually got collated into the History of Middle Earth books, that go far to inform people of ideas and concepts that say a lot about what Tolkien was thinking. However in current fanfic culture, certain parts of those concepts does not really fit in.
Fandom has very little use for Tolkien's rules on how monogamous Elves, and Dwarves for that matter can be, so fandom tends to dump those details, if they know them in the first place.
But there were revisions of family lines that I believe make some of the First Age Elven families make better sense, so that someone prefers to go with those instead of the faulty earlier take that is more well-known?
I also think that the more you know of the authorial intent, the more you can deliberately play against it for something different. It's knowing the "rules" so you know what you're breaking.
