Heh. I used this argument in a crack fic I wrote once, too:
"You said -- about canon. Not to worry about things like Snivellus buggering Harry or -- or -- touching you. Because it's not canon."
Remus sighed. "It's just fangirls, Padfoot. They have dirty minds. Don't let it trouble you." He wrapped his arms tighter around Sirius.
"I know," Sirius replied. "But do you ever worry that maybe we're not canon either?"

"Look at it this way, Padfoot," he said, fingers tracing the curve of an ear. "There's what? Three thousand pages or so of canon? And we turn up in maybe ten percent of it, if that. There are a few looks and touches, to be sure, but you're right that there's not much evidence of this --" he gave Sirius's arse a tender squeeze "-- implied in the text.
"But that's not the only place we exist, is it? We exist in the hearts and minds of fangirls everywhere. True, some of them are a bit twisted, but there are a few willing to give us a good story -- a little romance -- a little happiness. Because of their devotion, that tiny fraction of canon that was our first home is now only the smallest part of our existence. What we have is real, not because of canon, but because the fangirls want it to be real."

Awww...thank you. Yeah, it was sort of semi-seriously written, but it was also an epilogue to a story which involved various incarnations of the characters having a karaoke night, so I was having a hard time being *too* serious with it.

Oh, please do! I don't mind at all. pica_scribit is a purely fandom journal which, for me, means it's about 98% HP-related. Though I was inducted into the cult of Doctor Who last night....
