Yeah, I used to be this way. Canon was canon, period. Canon was the story. I felt like, if I didn't accept canon and stick with canon, then what was I even a fan of?

Then, at some point, the way I thought about fiction changed. Like the anon above me said, I realized that all fiction is equally fictitious. So, like, what makes canon inherently more meaningful than a fic author's version of the story? And I realized that, for me, it's not inherently more meaningful. Canon is just one version of the story.

Canon is just the kernel from which the story and characters I'm a fan of grow. There are so many existing iterations of the story and the character, and so many more possible iterations, and I love the story and the characters all the more for existing so multi-dimensionally.

I accept that this isn't how everyone does fandom, and I respect that. But man I love being fannish this way, and I'm never going back.
