FanChats💬submit your prompts!It's trope discussion Monday! What do you think about fix-it fics? What makes them work for you? Can you recommend a good fix-it fic? 
Julia@FandomChats I love all sorts of fix-it fics :) I don't consider them as replacing canon but as a what-if, a way to explore characters and the experiences/ relationships shaping them. Time travel fix-it fics additionally have signif. character growth and redemption, often bringing relationships to a depth that was impossible in canon. I also enjoy fics with little angst bc the contrast with canon is always present in my mind and gives any fluff or bamf content a bittersweet hurt/comfort note.
Forestofglory@thalassa @FandomChats I read those fics differently but your point about character development is very helpful to something I've been trying to figure out! Thank you!
@Forestofglory @FandomChats Oh, I'm glad! :) What were you trying to figure out if you don't mind sharing?
@thalassa @FandomChats I was trying to figure out why some fics felt 'too nice" and didn't land for me and I think character development is a key factor. Stories don't need conflict but they do need characters and character development!
@Forestofglory @FandomChats Ah yes, I agree completely!
