( 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've actually really enjoyed seeing everyone's opinions on this stuff. It's been fun so far and I'm sure it will continue to be. lol

Yeah, exactly. I mean, if there isn't whatever info you need to make something work in canon, make it the hell up! lol And considering almost all the Marvel and DC stuff out now IS nothing more than sanctioned fanfic... well, who knows. Fanon can become canon fairly easily.

This is very very true. lol But I still stand by the idea that if the creators don't have to adhere to canon, neither do we. ;D

Great answer, Daz! You make an excellent point about fanon filling in the gaps.

Thanks. :) That is the approach that has worked for me in the past. lol There's always going to be little things we don't know for sure from canon so... something has to fill that in! :D
