Those kinds of works are a godsend to fandom! A true demonstration of the gift economy.
I still have my copy of the "Professional Insight" zine, which is a compendium of Professionals facts--weapons, cars, clothes, characterization details, backgrounds, so much good stuff!
And similarly, I saved a copy of Taliesin's "Writer's guide to the Wild Wild West" website, which has the same kind of detailed compendium for that show. Guns! Clothes! Disguises! Character details! Backgrounds! Injuries!
I eat this stuff up...it's so incredibly helpful and inspirational to have the canon facts organized and searchable. Not just helpful as reference for writing, but also great to peruse, as inspiration for writing or just for fun.
