hh_mirrorThe latest issue of Bitch magazine has an article on Mary Sues in fanfiction! (If anyone is interested, I'm willing to scan it.) Done. (Usually they post this kind of thing on the magazine website, but at the moment the website is undergoing an overhaul.)
It prompted me to formulate some tl;dr thoughts on Maturin's canon Sueishness. After writing this, I started to think about the nature of canon chars vs. fanon and h_h!chars.
For example, h_h!Ginny's humorous application, which played on the fanon trope of slut!Ginny, resulted in h_h!Maturin's strongly disliking her for a long time, since he believed her behavior would probably spread venereal diseases throughout the school. h_h!Maturin's application and some of his subsequent behavior were pretty fanon with respect to his feelings for Jack Aubrey, but now that Aubrey has applied and Maturin is embroiled in het smut, he's swinging more toward canon. And I only recently learned that h_h!Adam is 19, rather than12 11 years old as he is in Good Omens.
I'm interested to hear others' thoughts on the relationship between their canon and the way they play their characters in h_h, especially since many of the canons -- particularly the anime ones -- are unfamiliar to me.
