      the latter, storytelling is a collaborative act between reader and writer. the writer's role is to create space for the reader to interpret, to construct their own version of a thing

      it understands that communicating is inherently lossy, that it's not possible to copy brainstate between people, doesn't even see it as desirable and doesn't try

      it occurred to me a few years ago this dichotomy shows up in how people interact with media just as it does in how creators assemble it

      call these two styles canon-oriented and fandom-oriented

      canon-orientation is about cataloging the facts of a universe, ranking them in terms of precedence, establishing a repository of truth that reflects the best understanding at that point in time

      fandom-orientation is about taking the "official" work as a basis for further creation/interpretation. fanart, fanfiction, shipping, and so forth

      the former has "fan theories," interpretation of evidence to try to arrive at as-yet unstated truths, which the march of canon may in time justify or invalidate

      the latter has "headcannons," which are more feelings about a thing, understood as not making a truth claim and thus not subject to debate over veracity

      the fan wiki embodies the former mindset, the fan shrine the latter

      canon is objective, hierarchical, competitive. fandom is subjective, flat, collaborative

      in other words masculine- and feminine-coded. and the two styles of fan communities do tend to attract more men and women respectively

          back on politics, it's interesting to me the author of the piece closes by attacking this very view of the world as the worst of postmodern excess

          explicitly rejecting the idea "that there are no facts, only competing stories about the world" and tying this back into his worldbuilding dichotomy

          I like to refer to the mindset of viewing consumption/manipulation of storylines as equivalent to understanding/controlling reality as narrative poisoning

          but at the same time the world only really seems legible through the prism of narrative, there is of course an underlying "reality" but it isn't directly accessible

          and the fact that most people take their narratives to be reality means while reality-as-competing-narratives may not help describe reality it does help describe people

          and while you cannot control reality directly through narrative, you can control it through people by the instrument of narrative. what reality actually is maybe is academic

          anyway the competing political narratives that purport to describe the reality of current events can probably be better thought of as fandoms that believe they're canons

          prescriptivism vs descriptivism, right? I hadn't looked at it like this before but it feels very right
