I'd be delighted if the author of the rare book series I've been requesting for years decided to reward my enthusiasm with a fic, too.

I'd love it if they wrote a treat. But a pro writer getting assigned their own canon for the biggest fic exchange makes me very uncomfortable.

[(Anonymous)]

I think even a treat is nagl. How is that fair to any other author that wrote the fandom. Alternatively, what if the author’s fic flops and someone else’s story is more popular?

Authors should only participate under a sock in their own fandom imo.

Interestingly, by kudos, the top two in the fandom actually aren't by him.

[(Anonymous)]

So what? Actually that's going to make it even worse after reveals. Either everyone will kudos the fics because hey, canon author, or they won't be the top fics and that will be so embarrassing. Dear authors, please sock up if you even want to do this! Which you shouldn't.

...This all kind of sounds like a you problem.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't like it either. Maybe this is an unpopular opinion, but I come to fandom to see fans' takes on the canon, not the author's.

[(Anonymous)]

I can definitely understand the impulse to write treats in my own world that are for whatever reason unmarketable or don't fit the 'brand' of canon. But I would definitely sock up in either of those cases.

[(Anonymous)]

Eh, it's canon divergence. It has no more weight than anyone else's.

[(Anonymous)]

It's the author. How do you not understand how that has more weight than everyone else's.

[(Anonymous)]

I write canon divergence and AUs for my canon all the time. That's fandom's problem if they think everything the author touches is canon.

WRITE ALL THE TREATS for your own canon? WTF?
