Well, I think for something like that, it could really be quite subjective and differ from fic to fic. If the goodfic doesn't differ too far from original canon, then you could easily use the real book as the official canon. If the goodfic is sufficiently different from the original (such as having OCs, following the life of a minor character, or being AU itself), then it might be better to use a combination of the goodfic and the original work as canon. It seems like it would be up to the person sporking the fic. I know that some people would say to only use the original work as canon, but I think if a story has earned the title of "goodfic," then the work that was put into it deserves to be protected, especially if another fan decides to muck about with it and completely destroy it. Again, though, it should really be up to the person's discretion.

Has anyone ever sporked a fic like that anyway?
