Re: 08; 09; 10; 37; 77; Not!Secret #2

[usagivindaloo.livejournal.com]

37 -- ??? People are simply interested in what they want to be interested in. I have little interest in Het, and before I even knew what "Yaoi" or "Slash" was I was reading gay fic. No need to be furious over other folk's likes, focus on your own.

To be fair, I don't think the anger was about people liking slash, it was about the het pairings not getting equal love, which is a valid thing to be annoyed about. I often feel the same way... I'm happy that people enjoy their yaoi (etc), I just wish that there was more balance (and not in the sense of "less yaoi" but "more het" so there was a nice equal ratio)

It's just that the OP wrote that she/he was "furious" over it. How can one be furious because others prefer writing one type of pairing to another?

Still, if people want more het, they either have to write it or wait on someone else to -- and at the end of the day it's up to the writer whether or not they want to write het or slash, and they aren't obligated to write one because it's lacking in whatever fandom.

Re: 08; 09; 10; 37; 77; Not!Secret #2

Heh, I do see your point on the first: "furious" is a rather strong word.

I agree and disagree on the second. I do totally see your point, but... well, if I were in a fandom where my OTP was really popular, but there was another pairing that wasn't as popular, I would start writing for that less popular pairing, even if I despised the pairing itself. The way I look at it, it would be the least I could do... if I had tons of fic to read, it would only be fair to make sure other fans had just as much to read as I did.

Of course, so far I haven't had that chance as all my pairings are on the other side of the popularity fence. -_- Still, I'm hoping one day I can find a way to ensure everyone in the fandom has just as many fics to read as the popular OTP fans. ^_^ I'm a bit of a crazy idealist that way. XD

I'm currently working on a looooooooooooong fic for an unpopular (not due to hate for the pairing, just due to the pairing not being explored that much) fic, but only because I got an idea for it. I wouldn't go out of my way solely because it's underrepresented.

However, I couldn't write a fic for a pairing I hated simply because I couldn't do that pairing justice. I respect anyone who can.

Re: 08; 09; 10; 37; 77; Not!Secret #2

[usagivindaloo.livejournal.com]

Hehe, guess it just takes different sorts; I do consider underrepresentation as a reason to work on a pairing/idea/whatever, but then that's just me.

LOL, I did try working on a pairing I hated, twice actually... for Sephiroth/Cloud (obviously not an unpopular pairing; it was a personal challenge). I pretty much said, "OK, I really dislike this pairing, but I want to challenge myself and see if I can make it believable and do the pairing justice." I think I did OK as most fans of the pairing said they couldn't tell it was written by a non-fan. Sadly, it did not inspire them to try their hand at Sephiroth/Tifa, so I will have to footle along and try to write about ten thousand fanfics to balance everything out, LOL. XD
