Re: Unpopular Opinion Time

NC A single data point, but most of my authors have actually said in an author's note (or in a reply to my comments) that they picked up my canon just to write for me. Yes, even in Yuletide. One author did say they had consumed the canon previously, but it had been decades, so they had to fully re-consume it to pick up my PH. Several have said they'd never heard of any of my fandoms before. (Phrased in a positive way, I should add, like 'it was so fun consuming this canon for you, I had never heard of it before!')

NC I can personally vouch for the fact that I've picked up multiple canons for assignments, including cases where I matched on a more popular canon (or picked up a pinch hit for a more popular canon!) and had enough difficulty getting started that I decided to just try it from a different angle via starting a new canon.
