I don't give a damn about shipping, I just want to re-experience the feelgoods I got from the canon I became a fan of in the first place. I want more of the same, in short. If that means that there is a canon!ship then I want the canon!ship. I have no interest in some other version of the canon, because I don't give a damn about something that is not the thing I am a fan of. That also means I want the canon!ship to have the same level of importance and intrusion in the fic that it has in canon. Take the X-files, although we all have to admit Mulder and Scully have a thing together, I have as much interest in them spending a fic cuddling and going to the theater and not finding a horrible monster or alien abducting people through the theater screen, but just watching a movie and then making out, as I do a fic where Scully is fucking the CSM six ways from doomsday. The fic that uses the idea of them going on a date only to be derailed by the monster of the week and turning it into an X-File, that is the fic I want.

Sure, I get the feeling but...why be surprised that people who are unhappy with the way canon went would be more likely to reinterpret it?

If each ship has 1000 fans who are potential authors, a canon couple might have 20% of those fans who are perfectly content with how it is in canon and thus don't write fic. Whereas the same obviously isn't true for noncanon shippers.

Now, this doesn't apply to you personally, but I've seen some canon shippers that are kind of...hostile to the fact that a noncanon ship is more popular in fic which just...doesn't seem logical to me. I'd think people who aren't getting what they want out of canon are going to be more inclined to write fic.

You seem to be upset you are not getting the answer you want. Sorry about that, but that is how it goes. People like their fanfic to be like their canon sometimes.

It's not so much that it's upsetting as it is puzzling.

Like, I get wanting more fic. But I guess what I find odd is when people seem to expect that a canon couple would have more fic in comparison to a noncanon one. That's where it leaves me at a loss. Because I've seen some people get really angry about this, almost as though it's a slight against the canon pairing when I see it more as a simple extension of the fact that nonsatisfied viewers or readers are more likely to write fic in the first place. And hence have more fics featuring a noncanon pair.

da

The same reason why people who prefer shipping non-canon will come into a fandom that primarily ships in line with canon and start fussing over the absence of the sort of fic they expect: the vast majority of fans expect their fandoms to engage with the source material the same way they themselves do.
