The OTPodcast: From Canon to Headcanons to Fanon and Back Again

Summary:

The OTPodcast is a meta round table podcast where fans discuss all things fanfiction.

In this episode, we actually have two entirely separate conversations that ended up being about the same things - the way that fans interact with canon and the question of how to define canon. When is a creator's headcanon just a headcanon? What did Joss Whedon do that turned his very name into a synonym for a painful canon-explosion? And in the end, why do fans adore some aspects of canon, turn others into fanon, and reject others entirely?
