Re: Finding/Choosing Fics to Read

Once upon a time, no not really. Increasingly yes though. There is an increasing amount of present tense, and even second person, writing however it is still not the majority except in very few fandoms where there source material itself was in a non standard format. It would be helpful, in fandoms where the source material is not in non third person past tense, to note in tags when the fic varies. The same probably goes for those who are in second person or present tense source material fandoms, and the fic is not.

There is nothing to be gained by not being upfront when the fanficcer's style differs from the source style (or in the case of non-literary fandoms, the non-standard writing style). It benefits the ficcer since they will cut down on angry comments and it benefits the fic-searcher since they can move on more easily to find something that might suit them better.

You'll note I'm not claiming any one style is superior, just that marking them out for ease of browsing is better.
