Or the DD Effect for short Now that season two has started to air, many of us fanfic writers have had the most dreaded thing occur: our stories have been contradicted by cannon. Some of us have been lucky, in that we can work around what’s been revealed without too much problem. And a luckier few can even use it to enhance their story. How have you guys been hit by these new twists and turns? Can you salvage your story and keep it in the mane cannon? Or will you relegate it to an AU? Are any of you even thinking of abandoning stories now?
