I feel I should congratulate you on even finding it, it's been so long since I posted it now. ^^; Though it's still very much around, and my sister and I are still both terribly attached to it. :3
That should be worth a craftsmanship award right there.
The amusing thing about this is that the only time we took it on stage in a cosplay competition was the year we won Best Skit. And we didn't even technically *have* a KH group at the time. XD;
As for the topic of canon; the biggest thing is that the characters are at least true to themselves. Nothing wildly OOC and all is groovy in the world of fandom
Actually, what strikes me most about the little early canon I've read is how different some of the characterisation is - partly because the characters have changed since then, sure, but also because it's pretty clear even the writers were still figuring out who the characters are (I have this strong suspicion they hadn't even decided exactly what Cable's deal was for a long time). So I'm probably going to have C&DP 'OOC' by the standards of the period just by using their present day characterisations (and then you get to all the minor characters who I know even less about).
It's a fair point overall though - the worst example I can ever think of where a canonical mistake really got to me in a Marvel fic, most of what really bothered me was that it was a part of what was making one of the characters wildly OOC, not that the detail itself was wrong.
It's all about the presentation and you are definitely a top notch writer so you won't have any problem bending canon to your wiles if that's the way you choose to go.

That's quite a vote of confidence - thanks! ^_^
