Fandom: 30 Days of Fanfic: Day 13 Fanon or Canon
( All 30 Days )
13 – Do you prefer canon or fanon when you write? Has writing fanfic for a fandom changed the way you see some or even all of the original source material?
Generally canon, though my writing can be influenced, intentionally or not, by other people's writing, just like everyone else's. I don't tend to have a set personal fanon; there are generally plenty of places where the canon doesn't answer all the questions (or gives multiple contradictory answers to one question), and while I like to explore different possibilities in my reading and writing, I don't usually get so hooked on one that I can't enjoy others. (I love to hear people's personal head canons.)
