LOL, no, didn't notice that. Maybe Bug's aunt was a bit of a revisionist. I mean, literally, she pretty much was.
That was what I used FF for, in the short time that I wrote it - making myself feel better about what happened in the original canon. But eventually I was like, I can't deny that that's what happens in the original, so I better just make my own thing, because this is ridiculous/unhelpful. Then a few years later, in HS, I went back to the original canon after avoiding it strenuously and sort of forced myself to look at the things that hurt - and it was very, very eye-opening and enlightening. At this point the characters that grew out of other people's characters are my own; I don't think anyone would recognize them. But really, all of this ceases to be about your (the reader's) relationship with the creator, IMO - it's about your relationship with your own thoughts, and the concepts presented to you.
