Blah, I hate when that happens! As I usually go strongly AU on everything I write (unless it's original of course) I tended to just say 'AU as of X point in canon' and go off on my merry way. Personally I think that's a perfectly valid response to canon twists that don't work with your story. It is, after all, YOUR story. Yes, canon is telling a story and yes, that story is valid. But your story is your own, based off and then branching away from canon as fits your personal vision.
I'm doing really well this week! I'm over 65K on the novel and I've got a short story written that ties directly into it that I'm going to publish (hopefully) today. Won't go live until over the weekend but that's okay. I'm going to do my best to upload it today. I keep thinking I have a bead on how long the book is going to be and I keep being wrong. Now that I'm nearly to 70K it feels like I've got another 20K left to write. We'll see what happens. There's still a healthy amount of mystery and action to work out so it might be 100K by the time I'm done. *rueful sigh*
Such are the joys of writing into the dark, I suppose. Hope you have a great week, sweetie!
