Your result for The Fan Fiction Personality Test...

The True Fan

OOC is blasphemy, canon is everything.

Once you fall in love with a movie, book or TV series, you are loyal like an old dog. You take fanfiction quite seriously and use it as a substitute after the canon ran out.

You are probably a walking dictionary of your favourite fandom and you are picky about what you write and read. The closer to the "real thing" fanfiction is, the more you like it.

You'd rather explore a character in all depth, see new sides and learn more about them than creating new characters or mix up the situations they are in.

Pretty darn close! I do *occasionally* like to create AUs or OCs-- but I do like them rooted in canon.
(And what does it say about me that I corrected the grammar mistakes in the test results? *grin*)

This is definitely a case of GMTA! I took that test just now and had the same result, not surprisingly. LOL And like you, it's a pretty accurate description, although I do like to create OCs when, as you say, they're rooted in canon.

Hehehe... I got "mindgamer," which is kind of funny since I don't do AU that much.

Unless you consider fanon canon. :)

I got 'mindgamer,' but I honestly wasn't sure which answer to pick when there were two that applied equally to my fic. Like that one about how you handle it if a character dies in canon - write them a death scene which fits canon, or ignore it (because that's what fanfic is for)? Erm. Both? ;)

haha. Interestingly enough, I got the same thing! How is that, when I adore AU and slash and mpreg and canon and gen fic alike? :))

[lady-roisin.livejournal.com]

I got The Mindgamer but like Steel there were more than one answer that applied.

[dreamflower]

Well, some of the questions I could have given more than one answer. But, yeah, it's pretty close!

[dreamflower]

LOL! I'm sure if I'd given a secondary answer to a couple of those questions, I would have had that result. You probably got it because you write mostly OCs.

[dreamflower]

Yes-- you are almost two different authors: SScanon and SSHappyAU! LOL!

[dreamflower]

Probably because you rarely write OCs, I'd guess.

[dreamflower]

That was the same for me. I'm sure some of the secondary answers I could have given would have moved me to "mindgamer".
