Re: "Issue fic"

[(Anonymous)]

IMO, the best way to write an issue fic is not to think up an issue fic from the real world perspective and then twist the plot to fit the issue, but to conceive of an issue that arises from the canon plot itself.

Like, think of places in the canon where the canon events have implications that could run into RL issues of [insert issue here], but which the official writers didn't explore because it would have detracted from the main plot, or it wouldn't have fit with the tone or style or pacing. Then, take it upon yourself to go ahead and explore it. Both the issue and the characters' reaction to the issue should originate (or at least fit) naturally into the canon.

Like issues of sexism if the canon is set in a male-dominated arena (even if sexism doesn't come up much in the canon). Or issues of racism if the cast has one or more poc characters who could easily come into contact with institutions that are notoriously racist (even if racism doesn't play a big role in the poc characters' storylines in canon). Or issues of sexual orientation if the characters' setting is a place/era that's very historically homophobic (even if none of the characters are canonically confirmed as queer). Or issues of mental health in a canon where the characters frequently come into contact with mental health issues or where the setting is inherently unforgiving and hostile to neuroatypical behaviors or needs (even if it isn't explictly shown in canon). That sort of thing.
