(Anonymous) 2019-08-27 08:28 am (UTC)(link)On the one hand, I get your confusion, and, depending on how the story is executed, would probably find that equally frustrating.
However...
I've got a story I've been working on that basically does this. I insert a new character into the canon, but the conceit is that everything we saw in canon still plays out the same way. The only difference is, the new character sometimes extends the scenes, or has "deleted scenes" where they're doing things that try to clear up some of the canon inconsistencies, or developing subplots that don't contradict canon. The story's also told from the new character's perspective, and given their position, they aren't privy to everything going on. In that respect, I'm taking the core concept mentioned in your secret and making a writing exercise out of it.
I know it's not quite the same thing as what you describe, since my character IS changing things slightly (albeit "offscreen"), but when I saw your secret, I felt like I needed to defend one variation of that phenomenon.
