Re: Does fandom as a whole actually WANT variety in its fic?

I think that fandom as a whole would be up to reading anything that is 1) well-written and 2) has specific tropes fans generally love - e.g. epic hurt/comfort.

If your fics are for one of the major fandoms but aren't well-received, it probably means that you either don't write as well as this fandom requires or that you don't make any use of the popular tropes.

The only case in which I can really imagine a fic that answers these criteria getting ignored is when it's written in a James Joyce style or is very hard to understand for other reasons.

AYRT

I tend to write for fandoms that are either really, really small or really, really big, so maybe that has something to do with it?

"it probably means that you either don't write as well as this fandom requires or that you don't make any use of the popular tropes."

Hopefully it's the second thing you said! I don't often use popular tropes in my writing, but I've noticed that when I do use them the fic is more well received.
