What’s it called when you’re writing a fic that’s kinda sorta canon verse but not? Like, (and no, this isn’t what I’m doing) if Dean were still a hunter but Sam was a weremoose and Charlie was a witch? Is that canon divergent or is there a specific category for that?
I think canon divergence is when everything is the same until something happens differently, I’d define your situation as “everything is the same but Sam is a weremoose and Charlie is a with” or just put in “weremoose!Sam” and “witch!Charlie”
But what if it’s like, Dean’s a hunter but he doesn’t have a brother named Sam and Sam is a weremoose? Does that still count as canon divergent?
Canon divergent is correct. That tag means your main basis for the story was canon but you took a different turn on one or more aspects. In this case you’d be using the world that Supernatural created, it’s rules about humans and monster, but you took a different turn when it came to established characters
That makes sense. Thanks!
