I can't be the only fanfic writer whose tongue curls up and whose every neurotic neuron goes totally WAAAH, so much for that fic fitting into the canon timeline whenever Kubo reveals a little detail that conflicts with one of my stories? Of course I have tolerance for the dissonant alternate universes of Bleaches, even within my own fic---in this one, Ishida loves Orihime, in that one Ichigo, la la la, I am AUTHOR and I do as I please--but lately the flashback chapters have been bombing the hell out of lots of "How Hisagi Got his 69 Tattoo" and other such theories. The stories aren't invalidated of course--good writing stands as good writing, and fanon doesn't have to fit (or even make sense) with Kubo's paradigms in order to be authentic bleachness.
But who else out there is going nuts as your "what if" stories and pre-canon timeline stories are smashed to dust? Writers are compulsive creatures so there's that urge to go back and tweak details---then again, one of the things that makes the canon bombings tolerable is the absolute authority with which Kubo kills your backstory. I've yet to read a fic that was in the canon timeline that was better than Kubo's story. I remember writing the scene where Ryuuken gives Uryuu his powers back simply because I was tired of waiting for it and thinking damn, this is pretty good, I wonder if Kubo can do something this good, and of course, he does leagues better.
Pimping Time.![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
nehalenia wrote a fic based on my drawing of Ishida with the fireflies: Whatever You Want (IchiIshi, yaoi, NC17). It's ... guh ... gah. And because I didn't properly pimp the fic last time, she also wrote a really delish steaming spring and sweaty bodies fic not long ago called Sword Brothers (RenIshi, yaoi, NC17)
Take heed, Neha's fic isn't for everyone--those of you who won't like it know who you are. But if you want scrumptious, literate, goooood smut, she's your gal.
I'm still trying to learn how to write smut like that. In case you missed it, I'm still interested in responses to The Pr0n Ficcer's Meme. I caught some people filling out the meme in private LJs but it would be cool if you could answer in comments to the original post itself. Thanks.

However, it would be a very difficult task to write premonitory fics, simply because, well, they're like making prophecies. That, and this is where it gets different to making guesses as to what will happen, it's got to be in a comparable style and tone.
But because they're so damn hard to write, it makes the letting down so much easier to take.
Awww, point me to it. I'll read it. All I ever read in the DN fandom were Light/L bondage smuts.
I enjoy basing fics within canon timelines or on canon events (either manga or anime) but once a fic is written, it really doesn't bother me if things don't go that way. Now, if I'm working on a fic or just have an idea for one and something new comes out that switches everything, I would probably either try to incorporate it, or change the fic, or possibly abandon it. That's why I finished up "More Than Nakama" so fast when it looked like they were heading back to check in on the Mayuri-Szayel-Ren-Ishi part; because I *know* that what I wrote isn't going to happen, but it's nice to post it during a time when it's still a possibility. A lot of my ideas, though, spring from something that happens in canon, then go off on a wild "what if" bend. Like the OMFG EVIL little fic that
But then my view on fanfiction is that it's non-canon by its very nature, so I really don't spaz too much about it. Mostly, I want the characterization right.
Pron meme. Sigh. I thought about filling that thing out but I'm not sure I could answer all the questions. Maybe I'll go take another look-see at it.
It was like having Minato and Kushina finally pop up in Naruto the way they did. Completely smashed an old fic I'd started writing about him and Naruto's-Mum when they were kids but thankfully never started posting.
I do still read stuff once it's been contradicted though - I can usually pretend I don't know the more recent data and take the story on, and enjoy where the author's head was at when the piece was written.
I suppose the safest bet would be to only write fnafiction of series that have finsihed. (but that's not as much fun as an ongoing fandom)
It IS fun, isn't it. Fun to read, fun to write. Should be enough. I still get all WAAAAh, though, about contradicting details.
I'm full of fail when it comes to fics, but I still did the writer's meme. I've been on a meme thing lately...
