Nice to see you again :))
Hmm, I sort of wonder at that, you know? 'cause I've been in some Western fandoms, and those can get tropey as hell too, just in a different way... but I think anime/manga fandom tends to skew a little younger, which probably affects things.
My previous fandom was FMA which I remember as being pretty great, but I was younger then, so it could be that I was just less discerning in those days.
I haven't gone into tumblr in ages... I've probably lost all my followers by now, haha.
The real shame with SNK fandom is that it's lacking in any big, sweeping alternate timeline fics. I think it's because we STILL don't know wth is going on in that world. There could be some really interesting what-ifs, but nobody's going there :(

I think age is a big factor. I know I was an annoying fanbrat;) FMA was my first fandom, I was an obnoxious Royed shipper with a mary sue who was Ed and Al's adopted sister. Now I'm 22, a lot more aware than I was as a teenager and a lot more stressed out by real life. With classic fandoms the old fans are grown up by now so that subset of fandom is usually better, not always though. I have seen adults acting worse than kids more often than I would want.

I don't want to generalize, but the animanga fandoms I read fic for mostly don't have good au fics. I find some fics with very interesting premise but turns out full of oocness and become general ship fic. With SNK I don't read much fic but yeah it's a shame most au are generic modern day stuff. What do you have in mind? I admit I haven't thought much about it, mostly because I'm shitty at writing.

I've been kicking around an idea for a "the Scouts launch an actually successful mutiny" fic for ages. The idea would basically involve the high death count on missions being a fabrication, while they fake soldiers' deaths and send them to secret training camps or into the Sina underground in order to set up their auxiliary army. Levi uses his connections in order to take over the underground and make it into a branch of the Survey Corps.
Erwin fakes the deaths of clever people who would have been executed by the MPs by sending them out on "fatal missions", and then has them making weapons for him.
Also the mutiny itself would be more along the lines of a communist revolution, rather than the whole thing with Historia.
Basically competence porn and them struggling against all the conspiracies idk.

I would totally read that. Seriously just write that and I'll give you all the kudos possible. I love realistic revolutionary stories, though I understand why the manga went the way it did. The social espect of the manga is very much glossed over. I would very much like to see the undergound being mentioned more, bonus point if you throw in Eren, Mikasa and Armin being somewhat familiar due to being from Shiganshina. I like the theory of a secret underground tunnel system, though the royal family must know and control it I can see some underground people coughLevicough knowing of it's existence.

The alternate timeline I want to see is what if Reiner and Bertholdt succeded in taking Eren. The warrior village is still unknown in the manga but it would be cool to see what people come up with, given all the theory. I would also like to see what the consequences is and how the Survey Corps would rescue him. Also who Ymir really is, etc.
