Guide to Sugar Quill

[author_by_night]

1. Yes, we are canon obsessed, and yes, we freely admit to being a bit opinionated on that time to time. There are brilliant sites wherein canon and fanon can be tossed together like a caesar salad; SQ isn't one of them.

2. Maybe the latter is annoying, but it's just as annoying for those of us who can't find a fic archive - other than SQ - that doesn't have more Draco porn and evilistehsexay fics than fics that I actually recognize as close to canon. We have a right to be canon based.

3. Would you go to a book club meeting and ask why they don't discuss movies?

Oh yes, there's plenty of room for wank (what a hideously accurate word) within canon as well. Still, I think it's fine for the Quill (or any other site) to fight for its standards.

Oh, absolutely. I couldn't agree more. I don't understand why someone would want to change things at the Quill (if that's what was going on...) when they could just go somewhere else and indulge in AU-ness, non-canon-ness, or whatever it is they wanted. There are many little corners of the Web. Go find yours and be happy. :)

Of course, this is the same argument I make to the Harmonians about why they shouldn't waste their breath arguing that H/Hr just might be canon after all. Just enjoy the fanon and be happy, man.
