I feel you.

But as someone that is definitely guilty of this - I don't know another way to find good fic. I can google [fandom] fic recs, but that's not a great method either :(

[(Anonymous)]

It's not that having high kudos is a guarantee of quality. It's that the set of fics that are in the top 10%, 15%, 20% most kudos have a much higher proportion of quality fics than fics as a whole do. And even when a highly-kudos'd fic is tropey and OOC, it's still likely to be better written compared to all of the tropey, OOC fics that don't have many kudos.

[(Anonymous)]

Seems like that's probably just the kind of thing you say because you don't want to get sued

[(Anonymous)]

I think she was probably past the peak of her popularity anyway, honestly.

[kaijinscendre]

The majority of fic is OOC, id-fic. At least I will be reading the good shit if I sort by most kudos.

[(Anonymous)]

There is literally zero chance it wasn't based on the recent admission college scandals.

[(Anonymous)]

Thiiiiiiis is the right answer.

[(Anonymous)]

I usually find a fic I enjoy, then start going through the author's bookmarks. It's not infallible, but someone who writes fic I like generally has similar tastes.

[pantswarrior]

...I largely agree with these comments but in my own past experience it seems that sorting by kudos also tends to turn up fic with two certain other qualities:

1: sex scene
2: nicely written but generally vanilla

Cause fandom wants the porn, and they want it relatable as opposed to anything with weird kinks that might make it interesting for people who are not interested in porn. Or maybe that's just my few fandoms, I dunno.

[pantswarrior]

...I agree and I find it so amusing that you pointedly credited the artist here. :D Nicely done, OP. (And the art is cute!)

[(Anonymous)]

TBH I feel like well written + weird kinks is such a rare combo you're going to have a hard time finding it no matter what you do to search

[morieris]

Right? If you can't tag them, list their name, find a SM handle.

What if, in a movie's credits, they just said "Credit to the thousands of people who made this film :)"
