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

(Anonymous) 2015-09-19 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
Couldn't tell you in general.

All I can say is, for myself, that I'm very willing to try new and unfamiliar and novel things in fic, but that it's inherently hit-or-miss - sometimes it's just not going to work for me.

At the same time, while I do enjoy new stuff, I'm also completely comfortable reading a basically infinite amount of the same basic tropes. And it's going to be much less hit-or-miss there - like, you can pretty much just give me all the fluff or all the hurt comfort or all the domestic fic you have, and I'll pretty much vacuum it all up.

So maybe that's part of what's going on? Just intrinsically, there's a bias towards things that fandom knows it likes.
