non-canon shippers are more than welcome to leave established characters alone and come up with their own ideas instead of screwing with someone else's toys. :*

never said we couldn't, baby, but there's a big difference between writing a sex story between a canon couple that's 'technically' AU because it's not canon, and writing one between characters who are usually not only not romantically-involved but not even gay. i'd say those are different levels of screwing with the toys -- say, the former is moving them around on the shelf, and the latter is crushing them with a sledgehammer.

but that's only my two cents, kitten.

Agreeing with [livejournal.com profile] technophile, and to be honest I don't give a damn if your fic/art is canon or not. Making it believable is the important part. 'Canon' fics can be as trite and unbelievable as the crackist of pairings.

oh, i agree on the believable count. but i find it easier to buy 'couple who canonically are involved get stranded here/in this situation/etc.' than 'two guys/girls/whatever who are canonically attracted to members of the opposite sex are suddenly gay for each other!'

same goes for non-canon het pairings, but even those are more believable than sudden gay syndrome, as i like to call slash.

I can understand that. I get frustrated with 'sudden gay syndrome' as you call it, and I primarily read slash/femmeslash (I have bad luck finding good het. Woe is me.) I personally will let it slide more if the author has said canon character as bisexual, because I know from experience that one can fancy either gender while appearing heterosexual.

ALL fandom work is screwing around with someone else's toys.

and that's why i waste my precious time writing those silly disclaimers for my canon-based fic. any other burningly obvious things you'd like to point out for me?
