Okay, I understand where you're coming from.

But think about it, if you are saying that because I put my own flavor on my speculation then it becomes fan-fiction then every speculation ever made would be the same.

Are you saying you don't? If you do then I'm talking to either Monty, Kerry or Miles. Everyone puts their perspective in their speculation. Just read some of your own post here and you'll see I'm right.

This is where being an author helps in speculation. I see things in a way you simply don't.

Here's an example:

In any classic storytelling you have three main types of character. The Protagonist, the antagonist and the foil.

The foil is there to challenge the protagonist's point of view and make him reassess his basic values.

This is what Pyrrha is to Jaune. That's story telling 101.

You say I put my own flavor in my speculation. Anyone who speculate does, it is simply impossible to do otherwise. If we could do it exactly as Monty and the others then it wouldn't be speculation but fact.

That being said, Monty, Kerry and Miles all uses the same basic storytelling that's been used by writers for centuries. Since I use it too and have a better grasp on it than most, it gives me that same perspective that they do.

And it's the reason I do this blog.
