I think it's a combo tbh:
- I remember being in awe of a particular fic growing up, but it wasn't finished, and even though I had moved on to different fandoms, I couldn't get it out of my head, that's how good I thought it was. So 5(?) years later or so I went back to re-read it/see if it was finished and it was terrible. Truly awful. Something I'd back out of. So yeah, people do grow out of certain fics and genres.
- Once you've spent a certain time in a fandom, you become more aware of the tropes, so you notice them more.
- You've probably also developed personal ideas about characters and storylines, so fics with very different interpretations aren't as appealing. At least, that's how I feel.
- And yes, 2020 sucks. I know a few authors in my fandom that otherwise write quite a bit, and now they're not really feeling it. Maybe that would have been the case without everything that's happening, I don't know, but it can't be helping.
- This might just be me/my fandom, but I've also seen a lot more first time writers, possibly because people have more time on their hands. Obviously that's great, and new writers aren't bad by definition, but... It does tend to be more tropey, for example.
