I’ve been pondering this over for a while, and I’m considering putting the Mothman of Hell Hellaverse fanfic on hold sooner than I’d originally planned.
As a fanfic writer, my goal is to make the stories of my fanfics different enough from the source material while staying true to it as best as possible. I know I don’t have to follow everything that the creator(s) of a work, in this case Vivziepop, have established as canon. But I’d very much like to know what I’m working with so I can see what fits with what I’m wanting to do in my fanfic’s story and what I need to change/remove/add so it does. However, I went against this when I chose to write this fanfic despite its source material (Hazbin Hotel) being incomplete.
Initially I had planned to put the Mothman of Hell on hold after the events of Hazbin Hotel’s season 1 finale. I had hoped the creative liberties I’ve taken so far, and had planned to take, before getting to that point wouldn’t go against whatever season 2 and later seasons had in store, or that I’d be able to work it into the story somehow. But overtime I began to realize that I don’t really know what’s going to happen in season 2 and those later seasons (haven’t seen the leaks except for 1 thing I spoiled myself on because I was curious), and I’d rather not have to figure out how to incorporate, if possible, every new piece of lore into my fanfic story that I’m 20 or 30 chapters in by that point. Again, I know I don’t have to follow everything that’s canon, but if I’m going to change something to fit my story, I need to what I’m changing and how that change affects things.
