Days Twelve and Thirteen

12. Have you ever attempted an "adaptation" fic of a favorite book or movie but set in a different fandom?

No, and I have no interest in doing so.

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?

I am not even entirely sure what this question means!

That being said, I prefer to rely on canon for my writing. Any fanon I choose to use has to fit within the constraints of the canon and make sense. Thus, One's For Sorrow. The assumptions behind that fic have shaped the way I write Long Feng ever since I developed them, which was a good while before I actually wrote that fic.

If I'm writing a story ostensibly set in the canon universe, I'm going to use the canon rules. It's only when I start getting weirdly AU that I start throwing the rules out the window. Which is probably just as well, because I hate the sparkbonding trope/fanon in Transformers fandom with an abiding passion and inevitably write it going horribly wrong when I do write it.
