Discussion Main / FixFic

What happened to all the "official" examples? There used to be there in the main page while the fanfic examples had their own separate page. But now all the official ones got removed and replaced with the fanfic ones. Why is that?

Do we really need examples of "Canon" Fix Fics if we have Author's Saving Throw?

• In 1610 at Spain, a time that favored Theatre above any other medium, Cervantes published an experimental novel full of bad writing, (Series Continuity Errors, Wacky Wayside Tribes, Romantic Plot Tumors, and a Chuck Cunningham Syndrome) but that was full of funny moments. Nobody took it seriously and Cervantes waited almost 10 years to write the continuation that his editor wanted (the book was a best seller). Enter perhaps the most famous (and less read) Continuation in all literature that is "The second Volume of the Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha: by the Licenciado (doctorate) Alonso Fernández de Avellaneda, of Tordesillas". This book had only three editions and the only thing we knew about him was the angry answer Cervantes gave in the second part about some cruel teasing in the prologue and Sancho and Don Quixote claiming Character Derailment.. The original was never re-edited and in the next four hundred years nobody really read it, but all thought it was awful. Modern critics have read the original fanfic and found that the prologue was bitterly disrespectful of Cervantes, but the book showed the characters having adventures in the City and well written. As a matter of fact, Avellaneda did the most insulting work an author can get: a Fix Fic, to show Cervantes the right way to use their characters. This means that the only guy who took Cervantes work seriously and acknowledged poetic relevance to Don Quixote and Sancho also thought that Cervantes didn’t do a good enough book. Cervantes was so mad at Avellaneda’s Fix Fic that he really took the next book as Serious Business and made Don Quixote an Even Better Sequel.

I think this does't belong in the fix fic page at all. this leans more someone's better than canon opinion . Also the quijote was a parody of the Books of chivalries (and it came out centuries after ), it was never made to be taken as seriously. Furthermore Quijote de avellaneda mocks the original source material

Doesn't anyone else think that the trope page is referring to 2 different things? I mean, it looks as if some times it's someone fixing plotholes and derailings on characterizations. And some other parts speak about "fixing" the conflicts, the pairings chosen, and other fandumb and misaimed fandom points. I ask about it because to me it seems as 2 different tropes instead of one

Would any Fix Fics include Bleach, One Piece, or Fullmetal Alchemist, by any chance?

What's this fix fic for Cat Tales? I'd love to read it, because although I consider it an interesting read there's a lot I don't like about it.

Would it be alright to link to writings that could possibly count as Fix Fic here? I ask both to provide a potential example and to share some of my own stuff.
