Fictional Fans

I though about putting in alternate/outsider POV fic, but idk, I've had mixed experience with those - sometimes you just get to experience canon but better. But sometimes they, like alternate setting AUs, rely heavily on the the reader already having enough affection for canon to understand (and care) why you're changing it. I think with those it depends a LOT on the skill and intent of the writer (and a writer with enough skill and the right intent can make anything work for anyone.)
