The Rose's Grove

nenya_kanadka asked: "Writing fic: Do you prefer open or closed canons, and why?"

And the answer is... I've never really thought about this before. When I think about the things that I've done the most writing for, though, I come to the conclusion that I prefer open canon... but that my definition of open canon is almost always "I am currently watching this thing in an ongoing manner, or recently finished it" rather than necessarily "this thing is currently ongoing in the rest of the world."

( What is an open or closed canon, if you're the kind of person who almost always comes to shit late? )
