OP 14

[(Anonymous)]

I don't like gen more than slash, actually. As mentioend it really does depends on what I'm in the mood for, really. (and likely the fandom I'm in.) I just have trouble finding them more than slash (for all fandoms).

I thought it was suitable for someone like me to write this secret because I neither do fanart or fanfic (gen & smut), but I enjoy both aspects of it (just that because of the number of smut > gen, it feels harder to find good smut fic. Based on my own observations of fandom and what I deem good/bad, your case seems to be a pleasant abnormality, but still a trend serverely lacking in fandom.

Yeah, because there aren't as many people actively interested in gen as there are people actively interested in slash. But your secret was (as far as I could see) about gen fic being ignored by fandom in terms of comments and recognition, so I'm not sure what the number of gen fic or art that you can or can't find has to do with it? I agree with you completely that there isn't as much gen as slash or het, sure. But you're talking about something completely different from your secret now. Also:

fanart or fanfic (gen & smut)
the number of smut > gen

Your comment makes me think that you think "gen" is the opposite of porn. It's not. Gen is a category alongside slash and het. If more people are interested in slash or het, it's not (at least not solely) because they're more interested in porn than, uh, no porn. Pairing fics aren't inherently about the NC-17, ya know. For what it's worth, I write and draw gen but the slash and het I write and draw are almost never rated NC-17, either. (The exception is my RPS, but when something has a canon, I don't care all that much about porn.)

In WHICH fandoms? the one's I'm involved in the gen production is not only high but there is quite a bit of it. I think it's dangerous to paint all of FANDOM with this brush considering each fandom has its own personality.

Re: OP 14

[(Anonymous)]

What the heck are you talking about? 99% of ALL fanfiction is slash. Where is this secret cache of genfic you speak of?

I've been in a lot of different fandoms, and all of them have a great predominance of slash, even if they start off with some sprinkling of gen. If you write gen on the 'net, you are lonely indeed.

Re: OP 14

Actually, the biggest genre is still het, and more specifically the Mary Sue kind. In fandom, everything is about picking the right place to look.

Re: OP 14

want help nailing yourself to that cross? I seem to have no problems at all finding gen fanfic. maybe it's just you.

Re: OP 14

[(Anonymous)]

Why are you so offended? Lucky you, you have no trouble. Too bad it's not the same for all of us. OMG--DIVERSITY!
