Really weird to imagine that this binary exists on a person-by-person basis rather than a canon-by-canon basis. Or that it exists as a binary at all, TBH.

The A plot of my favorite fandom's canon is okay, just okay, and most fic is pre-canon, post-canon, or interstitial rather than directly about the A plot. But DNWing the A plot and demanding the writer only write missing scenes or pre- or post-canon fic would still be weird.

IDK, if I love a canon, I just tend not to want fic for it. So it's definitely a binary for me and I'm firmly on one side

I always assumed it was person-by-person. I only want fic if I loved the canon and can't get enough of it. The canon may not be perfect, but I'm never interested in fix-it fic. I just want *more*. If my attitude is "fuck canon" then I don't want fic.

Whereas I have fandoms where my creativity is motivated by liking the canon but wanting to see it explored more (especially if it's good but a bit shallow) and fandoms where my creativity is motivated by spite, or even just hating the way canon did an element.

IDK how common that is, though.

I would say that's much more common.
