When reading fiction I often have this problem where my imagination runs wild a bit and I start coming up with headcanons and alternate universe ideas, and it negatively affects my enjoyment of the work cause I end up preferring my ideas more than the actual story. How do I stop doing this and just enjoy a work for what it is?

>>25386437Write something of your own to see if your ideas really are superior.
anon that's called creativity and it's what people use to write stories of their own. if it troubles you, you can try smashing your head against a rock until you stop getting such pesky things like 'thoughts' and 'ideas'. but i don't necessarily recommend that.
