Trendy?

Uh, no. If you were writing since 1997 then you ought to remember the backlash and drama when FFnet stopped hosting NC-17 fics. And the huge shrinking of the archive at the time, when they deleted a huge proportion of their fics.

The first things I saw in 1999 when I discovered fanfic was porn.

AYRT There were plenty of other archives at the time - I've rarely put anything on that site except for my few anime fandoms. Porn being trendy is what made FF.net shut it down - it was affecting their advertising.

SA We may be using a different definition of "trendy". I mean that porn fics tend to be read a lot at the time they're published but fewer of them become fandom classics or are re-read after that particular moment is past.

I think the word you're looking for is "popular."

Trendy implies a current fad or interest that has no longevity.

I'd also suggest that what becomes a "fandom classic" is very much dependent on the fandom.
