That's a pretty good explanation. Of course, it's not true for everyone but I imagine it does reflect the experience of quite a few canon shippers. I guess the only thing I would add is that I don't know that I would agree that non-canon shippers necessarily want to write an alternative take. A lot of fic I've seen focuses on making the non-canon pairing canon-complaint, which might take a little extra writing depending on the characters they ship (if they're already very close in canon, it's generally much easier to get them together).

But I've seen a lot of excellent writers deal with break-ups and then getting their pair to become closer.

AYRT -

True enough. But there's also a lot of pairings that, to be blunt, really aren't canon compliant, though maybe that's when the trying to make it compliant comes in.

You're lucky then, because I've seen the exact opposite. Very bad writers who come up with the most contrived ooc excuses to bash the one half of the canon pairing they want to push out of the way, just to get their chosen non-canon pair together. And isn't it curious that every time, it's been a het fic that's getting broken up with the female inexplicably made to look like a callous bitch/golddigger/two-timing slut/whatever to get the male together with another male character, when both males are barely even acquaintances and certainly not friends? This kind of crap has turned me off to slash altogether. It's not the ship, it's the shippers.
