Oh man, Transformers fandom is utterly rife with fanon concepts and characterization, which I swear a lot of is fans reading fic without watching the canon and then writing fics based on the fics and then people reading those fics and writing based on them and so on and so forth until you have this utterly warped version of canon reality that has little to do with actual canon. It's like photocopying a photocopy over and over.

I actually bumped into someone who was convinced that Prowl and Jazz were OMG totally canon! who then admitted she'd never actually watched G1 and was just assuming from all the fic about them that, you know, they actually had significant and shippy interaction in the show.

Except not really, no.

This, absolutely. I mean, sure, everyone can write what makes them happy, and I'm not saying I'm "above" doing it myself, but... yeah.

I've been in TF fandom for 5 years but am only recently watching G1. I've been involved in the fandoms for some of the other continuities, but only read the odd fic for G1, and it's weird seeing things I thought were canon - because, like that girl you mentioned, I'd only been exposed to fic - are anything but XD I'm trying to get through the episodes without reading fic so I can write my own stuff based on the source material and not get sucked into the fanon at this point... Almost like, idk, painting from life, rather than from someone else's painting? idk idk
