My fanfiction personality (sorta) + Fic year in review

Your result for The Fan Fiction Personality Test...

The True Fan

OOC is blasphemy, canon is everything.

Once you fall in love with a movie, book or TV series, you are loyal like an old dog. You take fanfiction quite serious and use it as a substitute after the canon ran out.

You are probably a walking dictionary of your favourite fandom and you are picky about what you write and read. The closer to the "real thing" fanfiction is, the more you like it.

You rather explore a character in all depth, see new sides and learn more about them than creating new characters or mix up the situations they are in.

...Yeah, I don't know. That probably applies more to the standards I aspire to writing than what I'm willing to read. Pretty much the only thing that bugs the crap out of me is OOC stuff, and even that I can certainly tolerate in an AU when aberrations from canon make more sense. My rule of thumb seems to be that if I can envision some experimental thinking process that led to changing the canon in order to fuel the story itself rather than the end result of the story, it's the good kind of OOC or inaccuracy. I get pretty obsessed with the subtleties of cause and effect that can be explored in fanfiction, which is probably why I am firmly fixated on reboot Trek which is in itself a canon alternate universe.
Not to mention that being meticulously strict about canon with a collaboratively created universe seems kind of silly to me.
