Sorry. I'll try to remember that. Spelling is a weak point of mine.

Sorry. I'll try to remember that. Spelling is a weak point of mine.
Since The Jungle Book has few fanfics based off it and Kipling's character are public domain (so legally anyone can use them however they want). I decided to become more familiar with all the cannon and sub cannon (ie non Barrie or play based) Peter Pan fan fics. I started with Hook as there were only ten fics listed. I didn't make it all the way through the first one: Hook: A Retelling Rated R for sex.
To start off they made John and Micheal twins for no reason and (as is usual in sub cannon) made Peter smart though maybe smarter than he should be. The Sue is aimed at Rufio (the author states right off that this is a cross between the new Peter Pan movie and Hook. I read the first three chapters and skimmed up til chapter twelve(there's thirteen chapters in all so far). If it helps anyone they made Peter (and Rufio) 16 (and the author doesn't figure out the difference between numbers as in chat speak and numbers as in words til maybe half way through the thing). Oh and the first paragraph is 90% yelling with caps lock on.
They mess with Hook? Oh, hell no.
*starts looking thoughtfully at the 'Sue, wondering what would be the most painful yet canon death for her*
you can't even get through the first Author's Note without having to reference TV Tropes.
An excerpt from the author's notes:
"WARNING THIS STORY HAS SEXUAL DESCRIPTIONS, RAPE, VIOLENCE/DEATH AND SOME MINOR BAD LANGUAGE"
It's the ever classic Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking.
*shakes head*
and before applying for permission to send agents into badfic and start protecting. The word you want to use is canon, not cannon.
Canon is what we protect.
Cannon is what we like to shoot Sues with, or from, depending what's funnier.
Sorry. I'll try to remember that. Spelling is a weak point of mine.
I don't think I've seen either Hook or the new film, but it sounds bad. Anyone who doesn't know the difference between a word and a number is bad news in my book and gives me unfortunate flashbacks to My Immortal. Not that I got past the third paragraph of that mess...
