I agree, for the most part.

I think the kind of fic where it's basically an AU where all of the canon characters have the same personality types and niche interests as the person writing / reading the fic is almost its own subgenre of fanfic at this point, and I get the appeal. But it has to really knock it out of the park for me to not find it vaguely annoying.

I don't really care about social media fic because that would mean modern AU for roughly 90% of my fandoms and I don't like those but I absolutely love love love outsider perspectives in fic. It's fairly rare, unfortunately, but I adore it when it happens (and it's not just a way to insert obvious self-insert OCs who go full meta because meh).

I'd mostly agree? I've read some that focused on canon characters and their exchanges, but that were still fun. I think as with all tropes, it depends on the execution.
(and honestly all the 'Memelord Avengers' fic I've seen has been so wildly OOC that I can't imagine liking it for any reason)

Friggin' same. I loathe, deeply loathe, fic that is majority of characters trading texts, or tweets, or anything else. Because 99% of the time it's really, cringingly bad and not remotely entertaining to read (especially if they have all sorts of weird html or text-shenanigans to show who is talking).

Ugh, yes. Lately my fandom has had an influx of group chat fics. I wouldn't mind if it was done in character. I can actually imagine those characters keeping in touch with short messages that way. But the idea that not everyone chats like a teenager high on memes seems foreign to these authors.

The worst case was a normal fic that was actually pretty good, that then suddenly got half a page of group chat at the end of a chapter. Why?! I can ignore the fics that actually advertise themselves as such.

I only like it when it's very specifically in character, and not in flanderized character, and guess how much I get that.
