When you write fanfic, do you try to preserve the tone and style of the canon as you write? Why or why not?
For me, it depends. When I'm writing for book canon, particularly for an exchange like Yuletide, I often make an effort to keep the voice similar. There are exceptions-- I don't think I've done it the times I've written Harry Potter-- but certainly for rarer fandoms I try hard. I'm less careful about other types of fandoms (though that varies from fandom to fandom) because it's harder to capture the style of, say, a movie in prose. I settle for getting the characters right.
