*sigh* Don't you people who get so sick of P/E [or any other popular pairing] ever get sick of complaining about it?

First of all, not everyone in the fandom actively writing for P/E is 'clinging' to it. Some of the are actually new to the games. Older fans don't get to be lords and masters of all the old fluff scenarios because they got there first. "We already wrote a story about them ice skating, so no one wants to read about YOUR take on them ice skating."

I'm sorry you feel like every P/E being written now is Gen A/Gen B. In every popular pairing, you'll have a lot of fic that skims the surface of characterization, relying more on the idea of the character rather than developing the character further than the canon took them. But I still see a lot of believable Edgeworths and Phoenixes being written out there, many of whom are quite different than my own personal understanding of them, that the author makes me believe. ~~Although there is at least one good writer whose characterization drives me up walls, that's off point~~

I honestly don't see much of a difference between all the P/E I read, though, and the other 'ship fics I read, even with rarer pairings ~~moar Mia/Phoenix plz~~. A love story is pretty much a love story. Cue the longing, the pining, the flirting, and/or the confessions. Yeah, they are going to sound a little different coming from Franziska to Phoenix or Bratworth to.. I dunno.. Diego, but the same things are going to be happening.

And my last point I admit probably doesn't apply to very many people outside myself, but I'll say it anyway. The reason I turn to fandom is largely for the AUs. When I'm in the mood for something that fits perfectly into canon... I generally look to the canon. When I want to see characters I already love turning into werewolves and somehow dealing with it while remaining true themselves, I look to fandom. Not that all AUs manage to preserve the characters' identities through such transformations-- but I do so love an AU that does.

Though I won't defend the OoC stuff. I don't get that myself. ~~Or the genderswap AUs, really, since they're typically the same as the non-AU versions.... but again, off point.~~

~~Although there is at least one good writer whose characterization drives me up walls, that's off point~~

Are we thinking of the same person? Because I think we're thinking of the same person. I have no idea who you are but I like to think we're on the same wavelength.

Also I am all about self-indulgent AUs :DDDDDD I'd like to get to know you.

Wow, P/E shippers are really defensive.

Hear, hear anon.

I like AUs too; guess I put it poorly. I just mean that when you have to change so much about the characters they're pretty much different people, then... what's the point? And I see that and generic Nice Guy/Grumpy Guy fic so much, I just don't understand. (I've seen a whole lot of established relationship fic that does that).

It does happen to most popular pairings, which is part of the reason I get sick of them. I'm just sicker of this one than most.

I think my problem with your wording has been 'have to change', as if AUs are written as the last recourse by the bored writer. I'm just pointing out that I go for them first. ~~Crossovers, too.~~

I just mean that when you ~~have to~~ change so much about the characters they're pretty much different people, then... what's the point?

I can agree that OoC AUs are no fun at all.

I suppose I don't understand how people get sick of only certain pairings, and not all pairings... or all fic. Rare pairing fics are not necessarily any better at characterization than popular pairing fics. You're going to have to hunt around for an author or story you like either way.
