You know, I’m just going to go on a little rant about people who are strictly anti-non-canon-compliant fan work (to the extent of sending hate to those who create it), specifically with regards to ships. 

In the anon hate that I’ve received about my AU where Sasuke and Sakura are divorced, I’ve noticed one highly prevailing theme that honestly puzzles me.

People seem to think that creators of non canon compliant fan work are unaware of canon, or are in denial about the “canon-ness” of the ending of the Naruto series. I’m really not sure where people get this impression.

Sasuke/Sakura, Naruto/Hinata, and all the other canon ships are canon. No amount of fan work is going to change that. Fan work is written for personal entertainment, and shared online for the entertainment of others who think similarly or are interested in seeing how a different take on an aspect of the story can play out. No one thinks that their fan work is going to magically change what has been written– it’s not. Of course we are aware of this, and of course we are aware of canon. There are two reasons why people might create non-canon-compliant fan work:

1. It’s fun. It’s interesting. It’s creative. You get to see how characters behave in situations that didn’t happen in the actual story. It’s an exploration and an expansion of canon, and you get to see the characters in fresh settings and fresh situations. You can enjoy canon perfectly well and still be interested in teasing out possibilities. This is the spirit of fan work.

2. You don’t like canon. You don’t have to like canon. You thought of an idea that appeals to you more than canon, you like the base idea of canon or even the majority of it, and you want to fill in gaps you think the author didn’t, or try taking the story down a route that’s more interesting to you. Fan work is a space for exploration and originality, and it is perfectly positive to do your own thing and explore your own ideas when you don’t necessarily like how canon went while still attributing credit to the original author for setting the story up (rather than claiming that your take is one hundred percent original).

What people don’t seem to get is that creators of fan work are doing our own thing. We’re not trying to change canon– we can’t change canon– and we certainly aren’t trying to force our thoughts on you. Which brings me to my next issue.

Non-canon-compliant fan work is very easy to ignore. The majority of fan work that is out there which was created post-ending is canon compliant. Yesterday, I toggled with the FanFiction.Net filters to see only complete, English fanfiction about Sasuke, and sorted them by most favourites to least. The first two pages were almost completely Sasuke/Sakura fanfiction, with a couple of Sasuke/Naruto fic and one Sasuke/Hinata. If Sasuke/Sakura take up the majority of most highly favourite fanfiction, not only is there plenty of it, but there is plenty that is actually good and well-written. I’ve seen the fan art for the canon ships– they are extremely beautiful and there is a lot of it. If one really wanted, it isn’t that difficult to filter your experience in the Naruto fandom to have almost no non-canon-compliant work at all. Comparatively, there is less out there for people who look specifically for non-canon-compliant work, but I know several people who make use of blacklisting and do their best to attune their experience in the fandom to their own preferences as well.

It really shows an extreme pettiness to tell creators of non-canon-compliant fan work that they are “delusional” and “unable to accept canon”. No one has to like anything, the series are over, the canon that you like is safe. None of us pose any threat to the ending that you incessantly praise. None of us are forcing for you to look at our work– in fact, the majority of us probably don’t even want you looking at it. 

Grow up. Use a blacklist. Learn to hit the back button when you don’t like something, or the close tab feature. We are not going to stop creating work, and we are especially not going to stop just because you send us nasty messages and nonsensical arguments in an attempt to demotivate us. You can make your experience in the fandom fun for you, and we will make it fun for ourselves.

“He told Sakura-chan she fought like a girl,” Naruto volunteered. Sasuke wondered why everyone in his life (except for Juugo) was a traitor.

“I don’t know if you’ve noticed,” Kakashi said, patiently, in the tone of voice that suggested he was contemplating, not for the first time, where exactly he had gone wrong with Team 7, “But the Godaime is a girl.”
