Mordax et al

bookshop:

• Fanfic is not something you write just because the ship you’re writing about isn’t canon (yet)
• You can ship a ship without worrying about whether it will become canon
• You can continue shipping a ship even after it has lost all hope of becoming canon
• You can continue shipping a ship even after it has become canon
• You can keep writing fanfic about your ship regardless of whether it becomes canon
• You can keep writing fanfic about your ship regardless of what the creator says/does/thinks
• You can write fanfic without worrying that canon will somehow render your fanfic pointless or unnecessary 
• The show creators and what they do/say/think/write actually has nothing to do with your ability to write fanfic, or to ship your ship
• Fanfic is not only something you do in pursuit of a shipper ideology that only flows towards canon and in no other direction
• Your ability to write fanfic or ship a ship will not be ruined by canon
• Fanfiction is something you do because you like the characters and want to explore the world
• Shipping is something you do because you love the characters together
• Neither of these things have anything to do with canon at all
