(Anonymous) 2017-07-22 12:56 am (UTC)(link)I don't think that's necessarily true of "most" hurt/comfort writers. I think the disparity between the number of fics written about abortion vs other sensitive topics comes down to the fact that more writers recognize that it is difficult to deal with it in a way that readers will sympathize with. Not every writer worries if every reader thinks they handled a topic sensitively so long as their fic is hitting the right emotional notes, but most hurt/comfort writers don't want to write hurt/comfort where a good chunk of their readers may think the hurt character is on the wrong side of an extremely divisive issue.
Those other topics AYRT mentioned are also common themes in popular canons, so even inexperienced writers are familiar with the cliches, tropes, etc that readers expect when they read a hurt/comfort fic involving them. Abortion doesn't show up quite as frequently in the canons that fans are drawn to, IME.
