Re: Fandoms You Don't Request Because You Know You're The Outlier

I feel like everyone in The Terror has read the books and I don't care about all that level of details.

I don't offer JS&MN TV for the same reason in reverse. I want to write with the mood of the show, not the wordiness of the canon lit.

One of my pet hates is how bad fandom is at distinguishing between different forms of media. I've never seen a movie or tv adaptation of a book that was so bang on to the original that a fic could be tagged with both and yet they always are.

You're just fine the way you are, nonnie! (And if you request it in future changes I think saying "I don't give a fuck about the book" is pretty fair.) I pretty much only read the book because I thought it was informing everyone's enjoyment of the show but it turns out they have fuck-all to do with one another, and thank God for that. They're different enough that even if someone has read the book, huge swaths of it are basically irreconcilable with the show, from small details to huge stuff.

There was at least one person who requested JS&MN TV fic last year who hadn't read the book!
