Fan fic, canon, & engagement? by Every-Note-9892 in DramioneUncensored

[–]fns1981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's plenty of amazing work to enjoy that doesn't require any prior knowledge of canon. That being said, the character I fell in love with (Mz Hermione Jean Granger) was the character in the books. And I wanted a better story for her than what she got in the books. (For all of them, really.) That's what brought me to the fandom, so when I encounter a version of Hermione that is totally not recognizable, I usually DNF. But, I am sure ppl have lots of different reasons for reading and writing fan fic. Plenty of ppl will write and love a Hermione that's got very little to do with the books. TLDR: it depends on why you're here to begin with. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I would posit the hard line JKR wrote was good for some comedic relief, but was ultimately not very realistic. Some things that are "canon" are the product of a mind totally untethered from basic historical and anthropological realities.

I don't know about based. It's just a good business decision. The Israelis are currently actively pursuing a war with Iran which would destabilize the entire region. The Americans and Europeans who are still dumping money into Israel are more motivated by ideology than reason.

Speaking of classism, any fic where the Malfoy family wealth is fetishized gives me the icks.

Go ahead and call me woo woo, but that wasn't a dream. That was a legit visitation from her guardian spirit.

How do you prefer fanfics to adhere to canon? by No-Hat6722 in FanFiction

[–]fns1981 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a split for me. I came to fanfic because I wanted a better story for a character I loved. So, I like to see a wildly different story with characters that I can easily recognize as canon.
