Re: Latest fanfic disappointments

[(Anonymous)]

a lot of my favorite Steve/Tony writers seem to be in the same boat of having developed characterizations that were comic/early movie hybrids and now canon Steve and Tony are nothing at all like that. So I'm watching them flounder and try to navigate fanon vs. canon and just wishing they'd kept on with the fanon versions I love.

Wow. I'm a huge Johnlock shipper, and this fits my experience to a T. My condolences, OP, it's a sucky situation to be in with a pairing/fandom.

Personally I'm very in favor of ignoring as much canon as you want and just embracing your headcanon and/or fanon. That said, I suppose it at least partially depends on how much your headcanon jibes with fanon. If there's canon, and then there's fanon, and then your headcanon is heavily different from both of those, I think people are less likely to recognize what you're doing and embrace it. Whereas if most of your headcanon lines up with fanon, then the chances are that a lot of the people who will read your fic will be in the same boat as you and will be happy to get to read a fic that recaptures what it is they loved about the pairing to begin with.

For my part, whenever I go back and reread a Johnlock fic written in the early days of fandom, I always have this strong sense of nostalgia and also of being reminded what got me into the fandom in the first place, and I end up thinking, "Why don't more people still write Johnlock like this? Can't we just do a fandom restore to back before the crappy new updates reconfigured everything? "
