Contributions that didn't fit Fenspace as first presented, but the Collective and the writer worked together to get them to fit: Noah Scott, A.C. Peters, Mayonaka Rhodes
Contribution that didn't fit Fenspace as first presented, but the Collective made it fit without the writer's participation: Turnerites
Contribution that didn't fit Fenspace as first presented and couldn't be made to fit: Kemwler (or however the name is spelled)
Note that of the writers who contributed these elements, only the ones who were willing to work with the Collective (instead of forcing their ideas onto the setting) are still writing Fenspace stories. I do not think this is a coincidence.
