I feel the same way about recent trends, which is why I usually stick to older fic from rec lists for older fandoms nowadays. What kinds of recent trends are the ones that you don't care for?

Can't say I care for people putting all kinds of inane stuff in the tags on places like AO3 and whatnot is one. That's a huge turn-off, and the rare few times I have read stories with nonsensical tags, they... haven't really been all that good. (Harsh, I know)

I'm also not particularly fond of the occasional trend at the story going full-stop for the author to go on an Author Tract-y tirade, oftentimes derailing the character who's acting as the writer's mouthpiece about a certain social justice-y issue. Like this one time, I briefly glanced at a GOTG fanfic where I *think* Rocket, of all the characters, was correcting someone on using proper pronouns (in relation to Groot, IIRC. It was mentioned here on FS ages ago, so I looked for it out of morbid curiosity) and I couldn't have hit the back button hard enough there.

And then there's the second-person, self-insert Reader/[Insert canon character here] stories that are all over the place. I first saw them on DeviantArt of all places, and while it's probably the most pablum-y thing fanfiction has ever come up with, the concept alone and the variants I've come across just gives me strong second-hand embarrassment for some reason.
