This does NOT prevent having appearances of characters and such, but commonly these are unrelated to the already existing stories.

Often these attempt to tell a story that could be within the same setting, but avoids the already existing story material in order to not conflict with them (enhancing the sense that the story is something that really did happen in the setting).
