I agree with all of this, and it's a big reason I am not a big reader of shippy fic. When fics run on internal relationship drama, I prefer them to be either a) short and with a point, or b) related to issues surrounding a canon event or something like that. Shippy fic tends to fabricate all-new drama unconnected to anything outside and spin it on for ages which often causes a sense of insular meaninglessness in a closed system where outside circumstances have no effect on the characters and vice versa.

I too have gotten pretty tired of long shippy fics. If it's short, it's okay to have one plotline (which can be purely emotional), but having chapters and chapters of manufactured drama is so tiring.
ugh you put it so well, I really have nothing to add XD

It's one of the things that I try in my fics - I insist on having an external plotline. The relationship drama should be impacted by life events, and should impact life events. And there should always, always be a plot.
But apparently fandom has an endless appetite for that kind of fic... nobody really cares if it has a plot or not.
Maybe the most frustrating is when you have reams of UST because they refuse to just talk to each other, but both are obviously interested -_________________-
