when the canon is awful so you decide to do your fave character right by writing fanfiction
when the fanfiction turns into angst and you end up causing more problems for your favorite character
when your fanfiction causes more damage to your fave than the canon does but you publish it anyway so others can suffer with you
Truly such a beautiful day for their majesties the new king and queen may there rule be long and prospero- BLIMEY! ITS PRINCESS DIANA AND SHES GOT A STEEL CHAIR
