Re: Do any of you actually like certain genres of fic better what it's bad than when it's good?

[(Anonymous)]

I wouldn't say "bad," but, at least in the fandoms I'm in, I've often enjoyed long fics where the writing is unpolished or technically mediocre (though still readable) more than the longer stories that are written really well. This is because their authors seem to place less importance on following the canon to the letter or pleasing the widest section of their fanbase, and so the plots are often more inventive and the interpretations of certain characters are more interesting-- overall, it's just more unique and surprising and, essentially, more fun to read.

Of course, there are less skilled writers who try to play it safe above everything else and fantastic authors who write extremely unique stories as well, but I've seen the scenario described very frequently. I guess when authors are just beginning or are looking at fic as only a fun hobby, they're less likely to feel "restrained" by their potential audience or the world of the source material and can focus on creating something that kind of pushes the boundaries of the typical fic for that fandom.

If that makes any sense.

This makes perfect sense and I 100% agree. Most of my favorite longfics are not very technically proficient and this is exactly why. Especially when it comes to shippy fics. So many long shippy fics by really "good" authors are predictable yawn-fests, even if I can tell that the writing is technically very good.
