I don't have to figure out why everything comes out the way it does at the start of the story, I don't have to know where all the canon characters are or why they're doing what they do or account for them during the stuff I'm changing/adding, I can just say that it's all just that way at the start, the actual canon does that
ahahahahah whom'st I kidding
*drags giant dry erase board into office from living room*
*begins diagramming changes to fic*
*loses interest, goes to play WoW instead*
SHUT UP THIS IS MY WRITING PROCESS
