Re: Twilight's not really my fandom, but...

[dreemyweird]

tweed, you? :)

Tbf I was talking about people's enjoying certain types of media, not about their writing mediocre fanfiction (they may be writing great things for all I know). Mine was a pretty specific theory pertaining to various demographics' relationships with wish-fulfillment fantasies.

But it was idle theorizing more than anything else, since I've not enough knowledge to make a satisfactory conclusion either way, and this

>but you're still the same person and your tastes are still evolving and fluctuating and being influenced by other people in exactly the same way that they always have been.

IS a strong argument. So I certainly am not about to insist my interpretation's correct.

>I've noticed people criticising Dark-and-Edginess on F!S, and I'm not sure I know what they're referring to.

Well, again, I was not talking fanfiction and I do think that the Darker and Edgier trope is not a popular fanfiction technique; it is much more common in original media. Twilight being a notable example. BBC Sherlock, too, to a certain extent.

As to your ideas in regards to the BNF status, I'm not sure I know what you mean, but if it is 'safe' as in 'non-threatening to the reader because [the events] seem right and natural the expected narrative development-wise', then I agree? I mean, fans do so like it when fanfiction takes them in the direction they anticipate - not in terms of plot, mind, people like it when plots are surprising - but in terms of mood, characterizations, and in part, style.

It does sound like a complex concept, anyway, and one it'd be interesting to explore.
