Today's discussion again come from fanfic flamingo:

[READ ALTERNATE INTERPRETATION OF EPISODE YOU HAVEN’T WATCHED YET (Fanfic Flamningo) WATCH EPISODE: THIS DOESN’T MAKE ANY SENSE!]

Not just the odd episode, but do you ever find that you get confused if you've not read/watched/listened to canon for a while after reading a lot of fic?

I totally dropped off the face of the Earth there for a few weeks. Sorry about that. I had a family emergency, among other things. But now things have calmed down to a degree where I feel like I can finally get some writing done again, and I'm slowly working my way back into the swing of things. I got about 150 words down today, which is a good start considering it was for a part of my fic that has been blocking me for the better part of the month.

As far as the flamingo goes, I don't usually have a problem with that. My brain seems to compartmentalize everything so that the various interpretations of canon are all in neatly labelled little boxes; i.e., "canon," "fanon," "personal headcanon," "fresh new take," "what is this I don't even." Although I do like to regularly refresh myself on whichever canon I happen to be writing for at the moment because I'm paranoid about getting something egregiously wrong. (My current fandom actually drove me to create an honorific chart so that I wouldn't have to constantly flip through every volume of the manga to look for the one scene where character #35 interacted with character #62 and whether they used "-san" or "-kun." It was time consuming, but totally worth it for a series with a cast that big.)
