Fanfiction with fanfiction as its canon
Journal Entry: Tue May 6, 2008, 9:51 AM
You know, it's strange ... fanfiction of fanfiction is a strange, strange notion. I have recently found myself playing in other fanfic writers' sandboxes and it's only now struck me as just how odd it really is.
I mean, we all know that fanon spreads and grows and eventually becomes accepted fact. Just look at Prowl/Jazz, Medic Swoop, and Ratchet's hands as in indication of how one person's fics can change the way a whole group of authors see the core - heck, I've seen new fans swear that Prowl/Jazz is canon, and I figure that eventually it will be the same with Sam/Bee ... I can't actually think of any Het pairings that work like this, I think that most (if not all) of those are stated or implied in the canon sources.
Anyway, I have recently been finding myself playing in PuraJo's sandbox, specifically with her Special Ops Trine fics. It just struck me last night, as I was writing, and asking her advice on how she sees her characters just how interesting the phenomenon really is. I mean, I doubt that I'd ever stop Simon Furman at a Botcon to ask his thoughts on how I portray Ratchet/Megatron (not that I didn't try ... but he was gone by the time I found him).
But I'm rambling. I've found that Botcon has recharged my creative battery. Stories that have been the barest of bunnies for the longest time are finally getting written, and edits are well underway on the fics that need them. I have to admit, it's nice to be creative again. Maybe by November of next year when NaNo rolls around again I'll have a clean plate to work with ... yeah, who am I kidding!

Send one to all your friends who you think deserve a hug (which, hopefully includes the person who sent it to you)!!
You might send it to your enemies as well!
It'll really make them stop and think!!!
If you don't receive this back, nobody likes you, and they wish you'd stop bugging them!
If you receive this back 1 time, open up! Find more friends, enemies, or enemies pretending to be friends
If you receive this back 2 times, you're off to a good start! (Unless you sent it to yourself! That's cheating!)
If you receive this back 3 times, you're a good friend.
If you receive this back 4 times, you're truly loved as a friend!!
