nayrt

Agreed. Factors like the author's personality, their overall presence or "importance" in fandom before their fics gained a following, those aren't going to be things you can emulate. Sometimes if you miss the zeitgeist then there's nothing you can do about it except suck it up.

Well, I didn't say "emulate", though. It's true that someone else's success can be very individual and not able to be replicated. But... that doesn't mean you can't learn anything from it.

Perhaps, but learning that a lot of this stuff is reliant on luck and randomness isn't especially helpful, unless you frame it in the context of realizing that while you have every control over the work you create, you have very little control over how your work is received and you shouldn't worry about it so much.

So what's the lesson? Conform to the shallowest, most dumbed-down mass-appeal juggernaut ship OOC smutfic if you want more attention?
