Re: But why?

[(Anonymous)]

That's not my thing either, but ... it's a whole subset of what fandom does: come up with backstories that might be completely fictional, and everyone knows that they don't have any firm basis at all? Authors whose brain works like this sometimes explain the process in detail; I think I recently read about Virginia Woolf doing a whole piece about how she met an old lady on a train ride and made up a whole eccentric life for the lady, where she goes home and eats sea urchins off a little saucer or some such. It's not how I think about people. It's certainly not where I get my ideas for stories. And I suspect if she'd *asked* the lady, she would have found out that her actual life was quite different. But apparently that's not the point of the fantasizing. And I've seen it as a premise for people's imagination to jump off from in fandom often enough that I mostly get annoyed when fans who do it get overbearing about wanting to say *everyone* does it, because no, we absolutely don't. But as far as I can tell, they're not hurting anyone, anon.

I'm a lot less tolerant of the people who get really upset if someone else's headcanon contradicts theirs or tries to act like whatever their brain made up is totally and literally true, though. That seems inconsiderate, unnecessary, and pushy.
