*crying about the X-Men fandom* For the first time in years I ship a popular pairing and I feel like at least half (probably more) the fanfics out there are crappy AUs in which the characters barely even resemble their canon counterparts. (And even the non-AU fics are often terribly written, but that's a different problem.)

I sometimes get the impression that popular pairings get more absurd AU fics than unpopular ships, percentage-wise.

It's only fair though. Imagine the opposite. Imagine being into an upopular pairing with 10 fics total out of which 80% are coffee-shop/band-AU's.

ayrt

That would be horrible. I'm usually into unpopular pairings with 10 fics total out of which 80% were written by me. ;)

Still, it's so frustrating when you finally ship something popular and still barely find any fic you'd want to read.

Oh yes. If this secret isn't about X-Men movieverse fandom, it should be. The 60s and 70s aren't SO hard to research that you can't write fic set in that time, and for the love of all that is holy, most of the characters are absolutely DEFINED by their powers so what is this obsession with depowered AUs?
