Come on, anon. I have been in this game for as long as you and we all know there's always been a bit of both.

That I will grant you. However, back in the day that kind of writing was seen as crap, for good reason. Now it's 'the norm'. Siiigh

Well, agreed on that, this 'norm' sucks. But (firsthand or not) experience is always part of writing - even if well-disguised as, you know, a good story.

This norm doesn’t actually suck at all though, in general?

(Anonymous) 2022-05-04 10:48 am (UTC)(link)
It’s not automatically crap writing, this is such a snobby way of looking at it in a broad sense. Like, if they’re insisting their baseless headcanon is actually canon, and act like an ass to people who don’t agree, then of course these fans suck. But if they’re just having fun with their headcanon and writing fic about it, they’re doing nothing wrong, and someone looking down on them and being rude to them about it is the one in the wrong.

It doesn’t matter if this person is writing their headcanon as an AU, or is writing a fic set in the main canon that happens to diverge based on their headcanon not matching up. If they’re just having fun on their own, they’re not hurting anyone, and you can just not read it. And again, it’s not bad writing just because it’s a headcanon. A story can be great even if it’s set in canon, but it’s not completely canonical. This view that “not completely canon = bad writing” can be so haughty and lead to missing out on some genuinely good ideas, some real hidden gems. If that’s not what you meant, then you can disregard this comment, but that’s how your comment reads to me.
