Re: Fic trends in fandom

[(Anonymous)]

Hobbit fandom is full of these. Fem!Bilbo is one, as is genderswapping random and assorted dwarves. The popularity of that one sort of makes sense since otherwise The Hobbit's a sausage fest even by Tolkien standards.

Then there's the "Hobbits Fade if they're spurned by their One True Love" thing, which is widespread enough that some people probably think it's canon.

And the "Secretly a Ninja!" Bilbo stories where either hobbits in general or Bilbo specifically has all these secret survival skills and is basically a cross between Bear Grylls and Black Widow.

And the "Bilbo secretly has the most tragic backstory of anyone in Middle Earth" stories...

Most of these tropes can be written well, but are massively overdone at this point.
