You are right.
If you want to write something by yourself, and want it to be published is SHOULD be based upon canonical sources (but it doesn´t HAS to). If you "only" want to run YOUR game, them everything that counts is: makes it fun for your players and yourself, regardless if it canoniocal or not.
