I'm a very boring, suburban mom, I'm a boring, suburban mom too!!! YAY!
1. YUM!!! I haven't tried that but will now! :) 2. holy shit that's a lot of edumacation!!! 3. Oh hey! I grew up in Cornwall, Ontario - a hour outside of Mtl! It's also my favourite city! 4. lovely!
is there a point at which you'd give up on canon if it got too anti-OTP, or do you feel that fannishness, for you, is/must be firmly based on the canon that you are given?
WOW. That's a hard question. hmm... canon is really important to me. It's the core of my characterisation and can never 'not' be the roots of my characters. However, I am able to look at what we are given in canon and see other possibilities. In HP I believe the Epilogue or not depending on how it suits me. But for example, if I had been a snarry shipper? I don't think I would still be in this fandom. I find resurrecting killed characters or always writing in AUs exhausting and it kills my muse. I stopped writing in Angel/Btvs after the Angel finally because I didn't like what canon left me with. :(
