Your result for The Fan Fiction Personality Test...

The Mindgamer

Everything is possible, nothing is ever really over.

Fanfiction is a creative outlet for you. You don't intentionally write it, it just happens. You find inspiration in several fandoms, but are not obsessed with only one.


You like to explore "what if" situations. What if this character had never made this very choice? What if this event had taken place sooner, never, elsewhere? What if these people had never met?


You are likely to write Alternative Universes, fan seasons or sequels and just follow your (sometimes pretty strange) plot bunnies.

I would retract it and apologize. I want my journal to be a safe place for my friends.

I'd probably change it to "canon police" or something.

What about "Canon Cop"?

I think it's slightly snappier, alliterative and applies better in the singular.

The only thing I'm not sure of is that most cops are generally seen as enforcing just and/or democratically-approved laws. Maybe I'm overly optimistic about that, but "canon police" loses a bit of the original impact by leaving out the nuance of injustice (and cruelty, and horror, etc).

It's better as a self-referential term, especially when it comes to issues of canon. There is much more of a solid line between what's canon and what isn't than, say, policing nebulous ideas of "community (proper) behaviour".

It definitely flows better than "canon pedant", that's for sure!

As a police-hater, it gives me no small amount of glee that "nazi" and "police" are interchangeable. (And I've heard them swapped out before.) Not that cops are as bad, but are recognized as milder versions of the same mentality.
