Inspired by number seven

[(Anonymous)]

So. Fix fics, deconstruction fics, and the like. What are your opinions?

Re: Inspired by number seven

Fix-it fics are my one true love.

Re: Inspired by number seven

[(Anonymous)]

I love them. There aren't enough of them in my fandoms.

I love fix-it, especially if the author really tries to make it seem like it could happen in canon/takes pains to keep in as many canon details as possible.

I've seen fix-it defined as both A) adding onto the end of a story or writing "bonus scenes" so that chatacters get together or have certain interactions, and B) re-writing canon. I like the former. The latter can be okay sometimes, but it can also get on my nerves. I was getting frustrated with Sherlock fic for a while because there was this wave of fix-it fics where the finale didn't happen, but here is some other bullshit that I wouldn't have liked better even if I'd hated the finale. I wanted to see more done within the bounds of canon. Tell me what happens next! Fortunately, more people have done that, but I still can't always be sure if I'm getting A or B when I click on a fic labeled "fix-it."

Heh, I'm the opposite. Sherlock is my main fandom, and I vastly prefer fics that just change/ignore large parts of canon, but I feel like there are hardly any being written these days.

I liked fix-it fics for S3 alright, but by the time we got into S4 everything had just gotten so far away from what I'd loved about the show to begin with that I had zero interest in anything that upheld S4 canon.

Honestly, though, I think it makes sense that we're both dissatisfied in opposite ways. Because I don't think there are many things that Sherlock fans aren't dissatisfied about right now. I mean, even if you don't feel that the show fell the fuck apart, there's the bit where so many of the incredible fic writers and artists of the fandom's early years have long since moved on to other things and only a few really great ones have taken their place.
