Harry Potter Fanfiction: Headcannon Vs. Fannon.
Harry Potter is a great series, with an epic-sized fanbase. Of course, with any fandom, there are fans that want to extend the stories through materials such as fan art and fanfiction. With most things, there is a bunch of shorthand that seems to be a language of its own. Some examples are 'head cannon' and 'fanon.' Head cannon is something that you as the reader make up as you read a book. Stuff like coming up with little backstories of secondary characters that don't get much 'screen time' in the book, and explanations for plot holes in the stories that just never get resolved. On the other hand, fanon is something akin to what fans establish in fanfiction that repeats in other stories. Harry Potter is so accessible to fans that everything from fan art, fan fiction, and heck even things like Wizard Rock bands have cropped up during the height of the popularity of Harry Potter. I am going to focus on aspects of fanfiction for Harry Potter.

Waking in the desolation of darkness, I stared about me with intense curiosity. At the very same moment, a lightbulb flashed on, then off for a second, then returned, to fill the room with a warm glow.

A lot of people enjoyed my previous article about Fan Fic Review Peeves, so I decided to write another article about my personal pet peeves when it comes to reading fan fiction in general. Once again, let me reinstate that this is not a personal attack on anybody and that you shouldn't feel bad if you are guilty of any of these. To be perfectly honest, I probably did a few of these myself in my early days of writing fan fiction. So without further ado, let's get down to my ten pet peeves when it comes to reading fan fiction.

Here’s a piece I wrote for a horror fiction contest. I didn’t win, but I was proud of it nonetheless. ----------------------

It was shortly after that encounter that things would take the worse, rather than the best, for the auburn haired Gryffindor. How did she even convince herself to come down tonight? She felt awful, particularly about her weight. The red dress that hugged her girls was held up by matching crimson laced sleeves, the ribbon around her neck providing the illusion that she didn't have two chins at standing. Her hands were covered by pure white gloves, lipstick to match. Her eyes drew directly to her hips, the width around them. As she walked alone through the mess hall, she felt only as if she needed a place to hide.

"Tch, is that even a question? It's already bad you talk to hardly anyone but Hermione, but you're in Gryffindor? The worst house apart from Hufflepuff." He said, snickering softly under his breath, gorgeous blue eyes rolling. "I'm shocked it took you so long to figure that out, Cinthy. I mean, you're supposed to be somewhat smart, right? Guess I was wrong." He said in a snobbish tone, the rich boy attitude clear. His bleach blonde hair had small strands that were loose and falling onto his forehead.

It had been twenty-seven months, twenty-four days, sixteen hours, and forty-three minutes since he laid eyes on the man he had devoted his life to, the man he held in such high esteem and regard, the one creature he truly loved. When he had first disappeared, John didn’t think much of it, it had happened before, he just assumed he would be back in a few days. When he was gone for two weeks, John started to search for him, checking his normal haunts and dives, reaching out to every contact they had, even his brother. When a month had passed, John sought the assistance of the Yard and they looked for the missing genius internationally. Not a single sign of him was found. Every day for eight months, John went about his normal business, expecting at any time the man, his man would burst through the door with a fantastical story of his exploits and a full explanation of his disappearance. Once the tenth month had passed, John no longer held onto that hope. It wasn’t until a year had passed that John began to lose himself as his hope faded to sorrow and his confusion to pain.
