Notes:

I've just been deleting a lot of random secrets that are recycling ancient FS memes ("can't unsee these unrelated pictures, would hit random thing, I wish this scene had ended in 'hot non-con sex'") and one person that makes a different secret about a certain actor every week trying to be as wacky as possible.

It's not.

I used to be one of these obnoxious people who equated people having fun with disrespect of canon. Took me a while to unlearn it.

NA - Yeah, I was pretty heavily canon adherent as well, for quite a long time. I definitely used to think, "If you don't like the story as it is in canon, then what's the point of saying you like the story? If you just change whatever you don't like about canon, then it stops being meaningful to say you're a fan of the story."

To be honest, I still understand why I thought that (even though I probably said some obnoxious things back then that I would cringe very hard at now), and I can understand why some people feel that way now. IMO they're usually coming at the whole "being fannish" thing from a different perspective, is all. For them, fannishness is at least partially about adherence. It's about finding something you think is great and then basically becoming a faithful scholar on the subject of that thing.

Whereas for other people (myself now thoroughly included), fannishness is a lot more about making our own fun with the materials canon lays out for us.

I think both of those ways of being fannish are totally valid--but they can often operate at some degree of cross purposes with each other, often without understanding that they fundamentally don't have the same approach.
