"it's done because the canon couple is a feature of the canon and removing it will make the fanfic AU."

But is that necessarily true? Couldn't removing a canon ship just be a continuation of canon? For example, if you wrote a Harry Potter post-epilogue fanfic where one character in a pairing dies and so they get together with another character, would that necessarily be AU?

Also, I've always gotten the impression that there's a lot of fanfiction that deals not only with the canon world but also with fixing things that the reader or viewer doesn't like (whether it's a ship or a plot point).

If you wrote a post-epilogue HP fic then there is no canon. Canon comes a shuddering and grinding halt as soon as the Hogwarts express pulls out carry the sprogs. You are out of canon then, not out of character. There is a difference.

No of course not, why would I say that? Future-fic is exempt from AUness.

And I never said it was necessarily true, just that it is true in a lot of cases where there are very popular canon couples. Like if the entire plot would be substantially different if that canon couple wasn't together.

Also, I've always gotten the impression that there's a lot of fanfiction that deals not only with the canon world but also with fixing things that the reader or viewer doesn't like (whether it's a ship or a plot point).

Yes? Exactly? Why are you telling me this? Obviously, this is true. Doesn't mean it's 100% canon compliant. Being non-canon is sort of the whole point. But for some couples, making them non-canon causes substantial changes to the entire canon, not just a few details of who is dating who.

And yeah, I do agree that the rules for shipping tend to be different than for other canon events and conditions. Technically, a ship that breaks up a canon couple within the established timeline of the show is a canon-divergent AU, but it's generally not counted as an AU, for understandable reasons. I'm just drawing a comparison.

Oh...sorry. Seems like I interpreted your post a bit differently than you probably meant it.

Okay, no problem!
