I write fanfiction because I love the canon but feel that it's missing something, or I love the potential of the canon but wish it was written better/with more exploration of something (Narnia!), or because I love the characters so much I just want to keep writing about them later in life, and what happens next
Way to say everything I meant way better than I did! This x a million. <3333

I always stick really close to canon (bookverse all the way!) because I don't really feel the point otherwise? I dunno, I feel like part of the fun is taking what I see and trying to add in around it, and it feels like cheating not to play with what I'm given, somehow.
