8. I fail to see why it matters, seriously. I know some of the pairings I like are totally not canon, totally never happening. But they're hot, and you know, that's all the reason I need to enjoy it now that I got the stick out of my ass and decided not to worry about it. :Db

11. As far as original RP goes, I guess we are our own fandom, if that makes any sense. Some games do actually pick up watchers who don't play, but just read. And the one I'm in, at least, we generate as much OOC crack and "lol I'd ship that!" as some fandoms get from canon. It's kind of a weird blurry line, I think, but it kind of makes sense in my head.
