How I Put Canon in My Fanfiction

The topic of this post was voted on by the members of my Facebook group HERE WE STAND. If you would like to vote on future posts, feel free to join.

I write fanfiction and original fiction. Each of those categories has their own challenges. Today I am only going to be focusing on fanfiction, specifically how I choose what parts of canon to keep and discard. This is by no means a comprehensive guide as there are many variations on how I decide.

Consider this a beginner's guide on how I do things as sometimes the writing process is different depending on the fic.

Crossing the Divide 67

I signaled to five of my men to break down the doors. My men protected me from the chaos surrounding us so I didn't flinch at the bullets or tense up at the sounds. Sounds from the abominations, men, and vehicles. Through it all I remained calm and serene. Nothing could break me.

I walked through the doors and let my men fire at those who attacked. My main concern was the computer terminal in the center of the room. Blocking out every other distraction, I focused purely on breaking into it. I needed to make sure that there was information I needed inside before trying to go further. I wouldn't risk my men's lives for nothing. If there was nothing here we would merely blow this place up.

"Can we just blow it?" A Mormonts asked.

"Only speak in the Common Tongue while on a mission." I said in the Common Tongue. "There seems to be valuable data here."

"We'll meet you on the roof?"

I nodded and then we were off. My men went off in different directions either to kill or gather intel. Sometimes both. The group that went with me were the toughest. Unfortunately I hadn't been able to get any Rasiki for this part of the mission as that elite group was dealing with the abominations. We walked through a hallway that was quiet and heard sounds of battle in the distance. I dragged Jorah along the ground as I steadied myself. My men held their guns up as they prepared for any sign of trouble. My ears listened for any sound of lasers.

"We got lucky." A Mormonts said and I shook my head.

"The gods don't give us mortals luck." I told her. "Keep yourselves calm but don't forget how much danger we're in."

Jash Reads: Animorphs #2 The Visitor (Chapter 1)

I read chapter one of Animorphs #2 The Visitor by K.A.Applegate.

The Host Review (Part 1)

I begin my review of my most hated book of all time by explaining what it is.

Crossing the Divide 66

"I told you it is hard to kill me." I said, letting the cold eat at my skin but not letting it inside. "The last Arryn is dead and House Kaari controls the Vale. Just as we will the Seven Kingdoms."

"You may have escaped once, but you won't again." Daenerys said. "You can be sure of it."

"My men are ready to battle you. I got new allies upon arriving at Dragonstone. I can see you have a new ally of your own."

"His name is Chl'lor. He is the leader of the wyvern riders from Sothoryos. He is a Nieth."

Daenerys said each statement as if it should make fear the only emotion I felt. It didn't affect me in that manner and I merely focused on her statements. Chl'lor was a Nieth from Sothoryos who was the leader of the wyvern pack. That meant he was the leader who was important, at least in his native land. While the Targaryen seemed confident that he would not betray her, he was from somewhere else which meant betrayal might not be far behind. Betrayal I might use to my own ends.

"Chl'lor, may I ask what has brought you here?" I asked.

I was hoping that the Nieth would see this as respectful towards him. Maybe he was growing bored of being with Daenerys or maybe he would see my dismissal of her as meaning I held the real power. As those thoughts went on in my head I saw my former friend holding back tears at the charred remains of the cross that had once bore Cersei. Whatever madness had claimed my former friend's mind, there was still love in her heart. A twisted and dark love, but love nonetheless.

"I am chasing my cousin." Chl'lor replied. "There have been signs that point to his involvement in certain happenings in Westeros and Essos. Signs that have traced him to red, shadows, and flames. There have also been signs that point of destruction that could invade Sothoryos. My cousin must die before he can play his game any longer."

Why Tobias is a Hufflepuff

UPDATE: I COULDN'T RECALL EXACTLY WHERE I HAD HEARD THAT HUFFLEPUFFS ARE GOOD FINDERS. I THOUGHT IT WAS CANON UNTIL SOMEONE POINTED OUT IT WASN'T AND I FOUND THE TRUE SOURCE OF THAT ATTRIBUTE. IT COMES FROM THE FAN-MADE A VERY POTTER MUSICAL. I STRANGELY HAVE NEVER SEEN IT BEFORE AND YET KNEW THAT PART...

Two series that I adore are Animorphs and Harry Potter. So I, being me, had to combine both series. This time by thinking of which Animorph belonged in which Hogwarts Houses. Some of the Animorphs were easy to place while others were a little more difficult.

Tobias, for me, was rather easy to place. To me he always belonged in Hufflepuff.

Crossing the Divide 65

"So it's official," Hail said. "You are married to yet another crazed madman."

"She does have a type." Khaleesi said.

Alex didn't like the comment, but he said nothing. He knew, as well as I did, that this jovial nature would fade away by day's end. After the celebrations were done, everyone would be forced back into reality. No longer would we spend time in a dream of the future, but the harshness of the present. It was unusual to see either Khaleesi and Hail so happy, yet it was refreshing. It gave me hope that after the war had been won, there would be something for them. There would be parts of them unaffected by the tragedy that could live.

"Hail, you have a type." Sam said. "It's programmed into your DNA."

My second husband didn't yet have all the restraints that Alex did, but he would learn. For now he didn't hold back as much. If he didn't like what you said he would tell you. There were good moments where he did show restraint. Today, though, was not one of his better days. Today he would not put up with Hail and Khaleesi mocking him.

"He is right." I replied and earned a glare from Hail. "It's the reason why I was hesitant to support you marrying my daughter. But you have shown that your love, no matter where it started, is strong. It is true. I trust, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that you will not betray Khaleesi."

"I will not." Hail reassured me. "I wonder if the same can be said of your husbands."

Crossing the Divide 64

"I loved a Wilding named Ygritte." Jon finally said. "I don't want to betray her memory."

"I am not asking you to forget her, Jon, as love runs deep." I replied. "If Jorah dies before me I will mourn eternally. No man will take his place but I will not act as if my life has ended too. If love decides to enter my life again I will not dismiss its call because of him. If you won't move on, I will not force you."

"Even if my refusal means your House dies? The House that has been fighting for centuries?"

I nodded slowly. I had to be strong and yet I couldn't. There was fear in me that I was sure the others could sense. The Kaari line that had been living since the days of Old Valyria would die. Yet I would not force this decision on him. Doing so would be dishonorable. I would face the truth of my own House's death as all things died. At least I would have children afterwards and would have a new Kaari line to start. One distanced from the Last Dragon, yet still strong.

Mini-Review: Game of Thrones "Dragonstone"

The topic of this post was voted on by the members of my Facebook group HERE WE STAND. If you would like to vote on future posts, feel free to join.

I'm hoping to get more reviews out by doing this mini-review format. If I want to go into actual depth on this show I'll do so via multi-vlog reviews or other posts.

In this review of the Game of Thrones episode "Dragonstone" there will be spoilers. So if you haven't seen the episode, stop reading now and go see it before continuing.

Crossing the Divide 63

"You don't have to come." Chris said as we walked towards one of the hangers. "Me and the other Rasiki will be able to handle this."

Robert Pointe's friends were arriving. His friends that were probably using the same weapon he was. A weapon that allowed them to hide their true identities. A weapon that was made from my blood. Chris' plan was to have Rasiki recruits go with him and overpower the other traitors if need be. The common thought was that capturing his friends would be easy. But me, the overly cautious one, was worried that this weapon could hold another secret. Another secret that might be more offensive than how the weapon was currently understood.

"I trust in your abilities, Chris," I replied. "But I still want to watch what happens."

"Don't you think your presence might...you know...make the traitors more nervous?"

"Possibly. And if they lash out we will know the full extent of the weapon."

I felt Jorah's comforting weight on my back. If anything went wrong my weapon would taste blood again. It would feel good to use it for combat again. I knew Chris was right in his worry and yet I wanted to come. I wanted to smell the vile people that dared use my blood. That dared to think its powers were for them and not my children.

Dragon Cave recently released three new breeds. All of the breeds are hybrids. If you don't already know the combinations, look at the lineages of the dragons I post here.

"Just beyond the Bloody Gate." Arya said under her breath as she tried to make out the landscape beneath us.

"We need to approach in the opposite direction, Arya." I reminded her. "We don't need House Arryn to attack while we're away."

"We have dragons and they don't."

"I won't risk my men's lives before the battle with Daenerys."

Though Arya wanted to disagree, she obeyed me and changed directions. Every now and again I would redirect her as she went off course. I had a suspicion she knew where to go but was impatient. This could prove troublesome when she was on her own and I wasn't there to reel her in. But she was not a child, not really, and held the rank of Lady of Winterfell. If she decided on a wrong course of action I would have to deal with the consequences. As would she.

The Thief and the Ghost Prologue

"I ride my third wyvern, a Jornish, so I know how hard promises are to keep." I replied sadly. "Especially the kind of promise you intend to keep."

"I ride my second wyvern, my love, so I am well aware of what promise I made. And I will keep it."

I had trained Tersa. She had appeared one day and I was drawn to her. She was so much younger but that wasn't a concern for a rider. Our lives were so long, because by connecting to wyverns we got their lifespan, that if we looked for lovers our own age we would never know love. At least when I had fallen in love my loves hadn't started as riders.

"Wasn't there a difference you experienced with your first wyvern?" I asked her.

"My Bortok?" Tersa said. "Yes, there was a difference. It was like I was able to experience the world for the first time. As if everything before was just a dream. It was wonderful and terrifying all at once."

"And you became a different person afterwards."

"Yes."

I ran my hand through her hair. If I had not been blind I could see that it was blue. Without eyes I could only feel its odd texture. It felt like normal human hair but also like hair from a Nieth. If a Nieth had hair. Tersa's hair was the clearest sign of her Nieth heritage. I had no Nieth in my blood, only human. My hand then went from her hair to rest on her hips.

"I'm not going to change my mind if you lose your wyvern." Tersa said. "No matter how different of a person I become."

Into the Darkness 8

I didn't know if hours passed or days or years. In this place time didn't seem to move like on the continent. The planet I called my home was far bigger and deadlier than anything I could've imagined. I didn't even think Rachel could hope to survive out here.

I was thinking Rachel wasn't fearless...I needed to get back to my clan. I had to find the continent so everything could go back to normal. So I could forget this place. But first I had to patch my wounds. Something that would've been more than easy with magic or easy access to herbs.

New Batch of Dragons (Jash's Dragon Army)

On Dragon Cave I'm getting a little more serious about breeding more dragons so that there will be more options for future giveaways. So if I'm trying to breed one type of dragon I'll have more chances of actually successfully getting the type I'm aiming for.

If you want me to personally breed a pair for you when not doing a giveaway, comment below.

Here are the new dragons this time around:

Crossing the Divide 61

"He smells horrible."

"I don't smell anything worse than normal on him." Alex said. "Whatever you two are smelling is because of your bloodsense. Sam thinks he's found something in one of Pointe's blood tests which he's refused to show me."

I doubted Sam was refusing to show Alex because the clone wanted to be certain. No, Sam wanted to annoy Alex and my husband was allowing it. As a member of the Kaari, Alex could demand the information and the clone would be helpless to refuse. At least if the clone I rescued wanted to stay in the Mormonts. That meant my husband was either opening up to the clone or just toying with my lover.

"Do you think the blood tests will show anything?" I asked.

"I don't know." Alex said. "If anything, I hope it calms your mind about the Tom."

I didn't bother asking my husband's opinion on the Tom. Alex was not well known for liking people. He would have no problem killing the majority of the Mormonts. If it was his life or theirs he wouldn't mind saving his own skin. It was only his love for me that stopped him. Being close to him reminded me of being next to a predator. An eagle, hawk, or bear. It warmed my blood and made me want to tell Eve to go away. But I had promised myself not to f*** either Alex or Sam until I could have them both. It drove me mad at times as my body yearned for them.

"I need you to make peace with Sam soon." I told Alex, my body making me deviate from the topic at hand.

"You don't need us both, Rin, you did very well with just me." Alex replied.

"But I like Sam." Eve said, not understanding the conversation. "I like being with Sam."

I was very open with my daughter when it came to sex. For me there was no shame in the subject. However, she wouldn't be able to understand the game I was playing with the two men. I didn't fully understand it. It was immoral to dangle sex as a prize, yet it might be the only way to be with both. I would do anything to keep my relationship with both of them.

"You can still visit Sam even if I'm not f****** him." I told Eve. "Just because people aren't having sexual relations doesn't mean they disappear from the other's life."

Dragon Cave Projects (Jash's Dragon Army)

On the site Dragon Cave I have different projects I'm pursing. Because I need to make sure I remember all of them and I wouldn't mind some help, I'm making this post. You can contact me on Facebook, Twitter, and tumblr to make a trade or give me the dragons for free.

Unless otherwise stated: any dragons for these projects only needs to be low gen with a clean lineage.
