Me? I read fanfiction and write fanfiction because I don't like canon ships. I don't like how predictable they are. I like seeing how other characters can interact within the context of the universe.... characters who wouldn't normally interact. That's also why I RP. And why when I play Harry or Hermione (I've played both), I put my foot down at any canon pairings. Because I don't like them.
It's the what-if of fanfiction that appeals to me. Non-canon couples are far more interesting, IMHO, than canon.
In any fandom. Like I don't like Castle/Beckett or Bones/Booth or Hook/Emma ... and I don't think I'd ever read or write fanfiction that features any of the pairings. Like... for me? Once a pairing becomes canon, it takes all the imagination out of it for me.
