And it's the overabundance of cutesy, fluffy, predictable shippy fic that caused me to drop out of most of my comms. I am SO sick of that.

(This isn't a criticism of you btw; I know what it's like to write stuff that gets no response whatsoever, and it's easy to start slewing one's fanfic in the direction that evokes appreciation. Fannish appetites seem to be getting more and more narrow, though, and it's very discouraging when you hunger for something more creative.)

(yeah, I get that. What I've kind of tried to do is that in between my "real" fics that I work on, I post stupid fluffy drabbles and stuff, in the hopes that they'll catch people's attention and then they'll stay for the serious fics.
I also feel like fics are getting less creative, but idk maybe it's just me and my corner of fandom, or maybe I've just gotten picky. It's definitely a vicious cycle, because the fluffy stuff gets all the positive reinforcement. But as an author... it's easy to get dragged in. You see people squeeing over cutesy AUs enough and then you find yourself wanting to get in on the fun, because that's what the fandom is doing... and next thing you know you're writing fluffy headcanon posts.)
