Fictional Fans

I am in both open and closed fandoms and enjoy both equally. I'm also irritated by both equally.

To me the whole point of fanfic is to explore avenues that aren't, weren't and/or won't be explored in canon. If I wanted canon I wouldn't be reading fanfic. Though, there is one completely canon compliant fic in Highlander fandom that has me (and most fans) in awe. It was written while the fandom was open and was so well researched that canon never contradicted it.
