But I consider this peaking because I had good grades and felt like I was smart and capable of learning all sorts of stuff in the future. Which doesn't sound as good having typed it.

No I get it. I had an extremely academic friend who sounds a lot like you. She was an absolutely FANTASTIC student, and was really excited about the future and university, etc., and then she became extremely disillusioned and depressed in the years after HS. She doesn't read fic, though, so I can't ask her if she feels the same way about HS AUs. :(

too many at the expense of other AUs (which I don't buy because I think most HS AU writers wouldn't be writing other AUs automatically if they didn't write HS AUs

I agree; what a silly argument. One may as well say "Too many people are becoming figure skaters at the expense of hockey players."

OOC writing

Personally I don't find HS AUs much more likely to be OOC than any other kind of fanfic, though I may also be a bit more relaxed about it because the teens are still formative years and therefore if the characters aren't exactly like they are in canon I can explain it that way.

though the phenomenon is interesting.

Yes, I find it interesting too. :)
