I'd be interested, and I'd like to start off by describing the different relationships fic can have with canon -- AU, crossover, missing scene, invented episode, "fix-it" fic, etc. -- and then talk about what sort of impulses lead to writing them. Because my instinct is that they imply different relationships with canon on the part of the writer, too, as well as the story.
(Just because such things often do bog down this way, and I want to avoid that: when I say "describe," I don't mean "make a rigorous typology and then force everything to fit into it.")
