first, can i just squee over how many awesome convos there are oing on right now??! *squee*
now that that's done, i must say i am totally with you on the 'two canons' thing!! there's something very distinct in my mind when it comes to ewe fic. the tone, the characterizations, everything. maybe this is because i've read so much pre-dh fic that continues to serve as a referent, but many authors still capture that ewe essence for me.
when i write, i can definitely separate the two out. although if it's ewe, but one of them is married, or has a kid, i do usually dip into epilogue canon (e.g. i won't make up a random wife for draco; it will be astoria).
