Re: I actually actively Do Not Want my ships to be canon.

It's interesting to me that so many people feel this way, because I'm the opposite, and I feel like I'm greatly in the minority. I'm not big on long-drawn-out courtships or "will they, won't they?" stories. I like established relationship fic, not 20 pages of unrequited pining. If I wanted UST and hints and innuendos, I'd just watch canon.

In fic, I want someting overtly romantic/sexual to happen. I'm not keen on season after season or page after page of two characters agonizing about whether or not to get together. I like seeing them *in* a relationship. I find the build-up rather tedious, especially if the canon has already provided the build-up. For me, the only point of fic is to show me things that canon can't or won't provide. I want to *see* the happily-ever-after.

YMMV and to each their own. *shrug* I'm also not big on angst, and I suspect that these two things are related.

I can think of only two "long slow hesitant courtship" stories that I enjoyed, and that's Jim/Pam on "The Office" and Mary/Matthew on "Downton Abbey."
