Oh man, you should read this awesome thread: http://epic-rants.livejournal.com/38734.html

This happens in more fics than just M7 though. Just not usually to that extent of ganging-up.

AYRT

Okay, apparently I'm not the only one noticing the trend. What they said, yes ;)

And yeah, I remember coming across it in other fandoms as well, I've just been binge-reading M7 fic for the past week or so and it's really apparent right now. Heh. Was it a 90s fic trend or something? A lot of the non-m7 fics I remember most vividly were also in 90s fandoms. Or did I just read a lot of fic for 90s fandoms that had the tendency?

I really have no idea. I think maybe the '90s had more ensemble shows, so it was easier to say, have all the characters conspire together to beat up on the woobie, or have half of them side with the woobie and half of them against him, or have only one of the ensemble support him, or something. Or maybe it's just that fans collectively came up with this idea, and then the practice fell out of style due to all the criticism. Or something. It's kind of entertaining to read those fics though, I always wonder what was going through the writer's mind when she wrote it.
