As much as I enjoy fanworks and would love to have the time to create my own, something in my brain never quite lets me get beyond the idea that they aren't "canon". In the grand scheme of things, fans are going to gravitate to the "Canon" and that will be the most popular depiction going forward, it's what people will use to inform their perspective on a character and their arc.

I know it seems a bit pathetic, but that's what my brain clings to. There's a chain of hierarchy there, fanon cannot exist without a canon to build itself off of, thus canon will always be the centre. I could write endless tales about a better Jane ending, but it's never going to be true to the actual story. I wish I could think another way.
