There are many different things fanfic can provide, and it's silly to pretend otherwise

That's a perfectly fine opinion.

But what exactly DO high school AUs provide that we can't get a million times better in other settings?

[(Anonymous)]

A specific kind of fluff, I'd guess.

I mean, it's not really my bag, but that's what I'm assuming

It provides (generally) a setting for young versions of your favorite characters to interact in a familiar setting together. This can also provide you with kinks such as first time fic or awkward sex or others that I can't think of. And it is a great setting for some fluff. And I expect some people use HS fic to deal with shitty HS experiences in RL.

What exactly DO female friends provide that we can't get a million times better from male friends?

This comment has precisely nothing to do with the current discussion.

Did we forget to turn on the MRA bug zapper or something?

I feel like your sarcasm meter may be offline...

stories about high school? Sometimes people want to read something really specific.

So, what other "better" setting is there where the reader or author went to an all-one-gender high school, and it's fun experimenting with "okay, never had a co-ed high school experience, so I want to play with this"?

That's why I'm tempted to write a high school AU. Heck, I read them because said high school wasn't just all girls, it was a Catholic school. I never had a American public school experience at all (was in Catholic school from kindergarten until I graduated high school). I also haven't had a boarding school or Japanese school experience. So it's all new ground for me, even if it is idealized.
