Fanfiction Meme - Day 12

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

Alas,no. And I should. Although there's an awful lot of Jane Austen-style-HP stuff out there.

Ohhhh - Severus/Hermione as the Assassination Bureau. ***plots***

Fanfiction Meme Day 13

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?

It's really hard to write Severus/Hermione as canon :-) More seriously, the "what if" question intrigues me, but sticking to the story is an interesting challenge. I was amused once I'd finished "Still Life" because it was completely canon compliant.

There's also the challenge of saying "Now how can I get the romance I want, which didn't happen in the novels, now that one of the characters isn't there any more?" and still meeting Canon requirements.

So I like both. But the fanon must still stick to the characters as written. Write Ron Weasley as a slightly-dopey Quidditch-mad bloke who loses the girl because he's been insensitive, and it will work. Write him as a sadistic, dominating bastard and I'll stop reading.

Which has, by the way, made the last big writing project (for the sshg_exchange) rather fun, because the recipient doesn't want out-of-character Snape, and I've delighted in making it possibly seem that way - but maybe it's not. Can't say any more.
