Are there any types of fic in your fandom or fandom in general that you just don't like?

Stories where it's tagged 'bottom!X' and 'top!Y' but then it's the opposite for more than just like five seconds if at all. Makes me MAD that I wasted my time lol.

posting this in the new proper place!

500 word fics with paper-thin characterization that read like summaries of an actual story.

Bondage fic where it feels like the characters are just going through the motions and there's no actual emotion or feeling or anything, and it's really formulaic and dull. Like it's almost like Bondage Dressup or something.

fifty shades of yawn

I know what you mean. I'm not into bondage, but don't mind some in an otherwise decent smutty or emotional ship fic, but I need to feel the characters are enjoying it or I'm not going to. Exhaustive descriptions of exactly what toys and harnesses are being used and how without much indication the characters find it hot isn't going to do it for me.

Rational fic. The characters are unbearably pretentious and the settings are almost always warped to make them seem smarter than pretty much anyone else in the setting.

And pretty much every Rational Fic author I've seen has been incredibly arrogant about "rationality".

Character/y/n, Character/Reader BECAUSE I CAN NEVER BE RID OF THEM! No matter what I blacklist, they still pop up.

oh god these. they're EVERYWHERE in my current fandom and I'm SO TIRED. I've suffered so long, blacklisting and selecting tags and I STILL FIND THEM. The MC would not fuck you - get over it.

Oh man they are THE MOST IMPOSSIBLE thing to blacklist on earth

Man, I hate those so much!

(Character A)/Reader is a top 10 ship on AO3 for my fandom right now, and I fucking hate it.

I still read that as "character/yes/no."

-Anything with OOCness, or equating AU with shit characterization.
-Stories that ignore canon couplings and pretend their ship is already established, despite there being zero development and no explanation of how the canon coupling ended
-Stories that trash one character the author deems a threat to their preferred ship

Stories that ignore canon couplings and pretend their ship is already established

Eh, I give a pass to this, because sometimes I don't feel like sitting through a breakup and the associated awkwardness before I get to any good meat with the pairing I'm actually here for. Plus, it'd get incredibly repetitive if that was just something that *had* to be dealt with each and every time with a fic.

Genderbending, transfic, any ~gender diverse~ headcanons, mpreg, A/B/O.
All for the reason, among others, that they always pretend to be oh so diverse but always end up reinforcing the most ridiculously basic gender stereotypes.

The complete LACK of fic that takes place in canon. It's all HIGH SCHOOL AU. COLLEGE AU. AU AU AU, and it's like... okay, a few are fine, but where are the characters in their native habitat.

Grimdark "realistic" takes on canon, "this is how it'd really end up" kind of thing. Look, I don't care how much trauma these kids should ~realistically~ be left with; they got a happy enough and hopeful enough ending in canon, so can we please leave it at that

...is what I think while I wisely refrain from commenting on fic that is otherwise well enough written for me to have definitely have commented if it didn't seem to have that agenda.

ABO. Underage. Any fic portraying rape as romantic. I'm not going to begrudge someone liking the fics (as long as they aren't saying those things are fine in real life). But they make me uncomfortable.

/nudges underage abo fic under the nearest carpet

No but for sure, not here for the rape-into-love thing. Which I know is prevalent in ABO, which sucks. I'm doing my best to turn it around? D:

Fics that rewrite an episode to 'fix' it but just end up putting the character involved that they personally hate through all sorts of punishment and have everyone (unrealistically) turn on them

Honestly 'punishment' fics in general as a whole rub me the wrong way when directed at a particular character.

Cheating or infidelity portrayed in a positive light, especially if it's to get a non-canon ship together.

I'd rather just straight up AU that shit a bit so the canon ship aren't together/never met for whatever reason, or they broke up offscreen. Even if I don't care for the canon ship in question I don't want my ship to be the cause of a break up, it's not romantic or sweet to me it's just shitty(and frankly would make me doubt the chances of my ship ending happily long-term if they're both written as cheating assholes).

That and I tend to hate how the canon LI is often vilified horribly in those types of fics.

Thankfully I don't see them often but I do absolutely hate them when I do and it leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Character x Reader. It's the plague of fandom. :/

Also, A/B/O, ridiculous AU's (high school, college, coffee shop, etc) and anything extremely OOC.

Seeing all the Reader/MC complaints above, I will state this is my jam. HOWEVER, I can't stand it when the Character is given (y/n) eyes (y/e/c) all that nonsense. I hate that shit and it throws me from the story. Luckily, most of the really good fics that fall under the 2nd pov tend to have fleshed out OCs as "you" or thinly fleshed out, but at least you're given a name and some attributes. Or a nickname. I don't care, as long as it's not (Y/N). Soooo annoying. UGH.
