Re: Fandom Gripes Pet Peeves

[(Anonymous)]

Having written a 20k word (RPS) fic in which the love stayed unrequited, I'm inclined to say it's trickier to write and keep the audience engaged. I put a lot of effort into my story and received very little response even though it was written for a big bang. (I will admit the pairing I wrote about is so rare that there are only two people I know of who have even attempted fic, and that figure includes me.) While the idea of characters missing an opportunity to change is a legitimate way to approach the creation of a story arc, most readers aren't down with that. In writing, it can go horribly wrong if the author hasn't gained enough experience to know how to do things like balance the amount of details in descriptions. It's a tough situation.

It doesn't have to be characters "missing an opportunity to change" though. It can be them dealing with this issue and changing as a result of it to it in a realistic, honest, compelling, adult way -- just not in the expected way.

It could be a resolution that the characters actively achieve, yes, but I admit I actually don't like that. I prefer to write unrequited love stories in which they don't communicate on the subject even at the prodding of friends. I see this situation happen far more often, so I prefer reading/writing it.
