I'm inclined to agree. And with mainstream romance, it's not just underdeveloped; it also tends to come across as incredibly...immature, I guess is the word? Or perhaps too idealized and unrealistic (no, you can't actually love someone after a single day. It doesn't work that way)? Granted, fanfic can be all of those things, as well.

I do think, however, much of preference for romance in fanfic is due to already being invested in a pairing rather than it necessarily being of better quality. I go in already believing that there's a connection between the characters, so the author doesn't have to work as hard to get me to suspend possible disbelief.

Yeah IAWTP

I am OK with shit in fanfic that I would find incredibly off-putting if I hadn't already bought in on the characters

[a_potato]

Same. There are some things that are always right out, but I'm more likely to accept a trope in fanfic than in an original work.

[(Anonymous)]

This. Well, mostly this. The author still has a lot to do to get me to suspend my disbelief, but others have much much lower standards so will accept almost any old tosh.

[a_potato]

LOL

I still have standards (e.g., the immediate "I love you" thing always sends me packing, regardless whether I like the pairing or not), but yeah, they are definitely lower for romance in fanfic.

[(Anonymous)]

yep, pretty much

completely unapologetic tbh, if you're not a flagrantly incompetent writer in a technical sense, and if you're willing to trowel on the fluff and romance, i will actually legitimately read any old shit
