Challenge #4
In your own space, add something to your fandom’s canon. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.
One of my main motivations for writing fanfic is to try to explain contradictions or discrepancies, or expand on lacunae in canon, so I've done this a bunch. Here are five examples, in reverse chronological order.
Flight of the Prince
Harry Potter; Gen
Written the day after Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows came out, I wrote these two linked drabbles explain why there was no portrait of Snape as headmaster: a plot hole rowling and her editors missed until fans pointed it out.
From Birth
Marvel Cinematic Universe; Gen
I wrote this giftfic for Worldbuilding Exchange 2017. My recipient had asked for Loki and the relationship between magic and science, to which I fleshed out Odin bringing Loki to Asgard, his relationship to Freya, and how that led him to make a certain major decision.
Frank was my personal compensation for Calcutta
Blake & Avery: Mature
This is the most headcanon-y example of the five. I wrote it to give some additional backstory to his relationship with Frank--a major catalyst for everything that comes after in the series--and it's the unofficial starting point to most of the fics I've written in this fandom.
Fool's Errand
The Goblin Emperor series; Teen & up
Written before The Grief of Stones published, because I had an inkling that Subpraeceptor Azhanharad was not as one dimensional as Celehar seemed to think he was. I enjoyed giving Azhanharad a very awkward reason for being so uncomfortable around Celehar, and one that Celehar himself would never in a million years guess.
The Magic of Childhood
Baldur's Gate I & II; Gen
I wrote this triple drabble to set out why Imoen never evinced any magical aptitude in BGI when she suddenly has it in spades in BGII.
