Trivia / Perceval, the Story of the Grail

• Died During Production: Chrétien died before finishing Perceval. Structurally, this invited fans to engage with it and, if anything, made the story more popular. Fanfic endings — termed "Perceval continuations" — abounded. This is interesting because Chrétien's original ideas about the grail appeared to be quite different from what later writers envisioned and it's odd to wonder what could have been if he had finished it.
