30 Days - day 13
Jul. 13th, 2011 07:09 pm13 – 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?
What is this, I don't even... Who on earth is going to admit they prefer fanon to canon? Never going to happen around here.
I suppose you could say that writing slash has made me more aware of the subtextual stuff going on (eye contact, body language) rather than just the dialogue but I'm not sure if that's what the question is going for. I prefer to think of it as seeing stuff that was already there rather than influencing how I see the source material.
