Cough, Cough, Cough

I started working on the next chapter of Metamorphoses today! I posted the last chapter in September of 2010. I'm pretty sure I'm officially the worst. I had to reread the whole thing myself to remember what I was doing with it, whooooops.
Anyway, I was trying to keep it canon, but in thinking about how I wanted to end it, I found myself having a bit of a dilemma. So I'm just going to throw some questions out to the crowd.
If you're reading a canon-compliant WIP and it turns non-canon-compliant, does this bug you? More specifically, with regards to John/Delenn, do you view their kiss at the end of "And the Rock Cried Out..." to be their actual first kiss, or just the first one we were shown?
Probably showing my hand there, but I am genuinely curious.

If, on the other hand, I know that it's a bit AU (or even might go AU in the future) then no, not really. (I mean, for J/D yes, but I don't read B5 fanfic as a rule anyway. Although I might give yours a shot once it's not a WIP anymore. :D)

I'd have preferred a lot of their relationship have played out differently from canon TBH, and it's a large reason why I seek out J/D fic. FFS let's give them some privacy!

Date: 2012-06-28 09:07 pm (UTC)I could go either way as to whether I think that was their first kiss or just the first one we were shown. All I know is that our witnessing of it was long overdue. Since we don't really *know* I think it's up for interpretation and not necessarily against canon if you decide to do it earlier.
