IKR, to some degree. The most popular writer in one of my fandoms writes the most tropy AU you can imagine, with the same setup for the same pairing every. damn. time. Even completely ignoring the same side characters and substituting them with OCs in every. damn. fic.

It's not that I don't enjoy her fic. She writes passably, and pretty IC. It's just that she's the definite BNF on the fic side, in a fandom so small that most people posting will be lucky to get five comments on AO3 - and the thing is, there's some fic around that's a lot better, but pretty much ignored.

I'd love to see her take some of her skill and dig into CANON, not barf out yet another vampire/werewolf/boyband/coffeeshop/soulmate AU with the same kind of pining and the same kind of dumb misunderstandings happening in ALL OF THEM.

Pining and misunderstandings scratches an itch. Being able to write effective pining has a quality all its own, to paraphrase Stalin.

Well, yeah - I like her fic just fine, for easy reading. But I feel bad for the authors who write so much better, but are ignored in favour of the same story being regurgitated in ten different incarnations.

It just bugs me to say "Writer X is Better than Writer Y" when clearly there are some elements where Writer Y is better than Writer X.

Being the most popular =/= being the best. In the fandom, being the most popular usually comes down to how often you update, interaction with your readers, genre of fic, and absolutely which pairings you write and how much smut there is.
