No, I'm sure you love it *because* of all the fanon, and you shouldn't be embarrassed about what you like (or about liking fanon - God knows in many fandoms it's a lot better than canon)! I'm just always kind of sad that fandom doesn't appreciate more the ones that I worked the hardest on, if that makes sense? I know taste doesn't work that way, but I can't help being slightly sad in the centre of my inner emo arteest. In a meta sort of way, Unintended is a fictional sort of... pondering of fanon and meta tropes in the fandom and it's pretty representative of a lot of them I think. I'd pretty much mainlined the entire online fandom 24/7 for a few months and then sat right down and wrote it, so that's not very surprising! And my knowledge of canon was still superficial when I started it. And the version up there is the edited version - I made certain corrections and rewrites in summer of 2003 for publication in a 'best of internet k/s' zine published by... oh, I forget who does those - Jenna Hilary Sinclair maybe?
