what i like most about making fancomics (this obviously applies to any sort of narrative fanwork but im a comicer myself) is writing characters' personalities and deciding Exactly how they would react to whatever situation im putting them in, exactly what the circumstances would have to be for me to explore whatever part of them im trying to explore. how seamlessly can i connect the characters i love in a scenario of my own design to their canon reality. can i picture this actually happening if the story went in this direction. can i hear them say it. and i know obviously not everyone takes this sort of approach or is valuing the same things in fanwork and thats FINE, but like .. i love these characters because of what they're like in canon which is why i like making things that feel like a logical addendum to canon in terms of how they act. this doesnt obviously encompass my entire opinion of what fanworks should be/what makes something enjoyable to me but anywho

#txt157 #the most obvious exception being ku//wtu #which is primarily a comedy and a riff on a spinoff i dont like of a series i do like #and jstt which is a rewrite of something i do love but see a lot of ways in which it could be better #because once you start making really fundamental changes to the characters' reality #ie; julie is discovering she's transfem and slowly letting go of the legion instead of all at once #obviously shifts in how they respond to things will take place #but it is still recognizably the Same Character otherwise i wouldnt be SAYING it was the same character #i'd write some other thing #because i obviously dont even like js if i was gonna swap up Everything about her #anywho anywho. this post does not have any sort of purpose in mind. i need to make deathnot efanart
