It is obnoxious to thrust your shipping in the creator's face, but it would be a very petty writer who changed canon as a punishment to fans.

This is how I feel. I've never understood why some people feel the need to link TPTB fic, or tell them the canon relationships suck and they should go in another direction. It's their 'baby', and they're going to do what they want whether the audience likes it or not. I mean, of course there are people who consider fan reactions and sometimes change things accordingly, but that simply isn't going to fly with everyone no matter how much you push. It seems like a fruitless effort to me.

But I still agree with anon that it WOULD be petty for them to change canon for that specific reason.

No, they'll just demand that the fanfic stop for their creation. Like a couple of other's on FF.N

If the fan-pairing canonically have no feelings for each other to begin with, putting something in cannon to make it clear they have no feelings for each other wouldn't really be changing canon. Neither would being more careful to avoid writing things that could be interpreted as romantic. It was always canon that they weren't together and weren't going to be.

You can still say that's petty, okay, but saying the author would be "changing canon to punish fans" is over-dramatic and an exaggeration. It's more like the author would be making a point to avoid ambiguity on a subject they'd already decided on.

Which I really don't think is all that petty. If they were considering making the ship canon and changed their mind because of annoying fans, then that could be pretty petty, but that's not the case OP described.
