Re: Inspired by secret # OOC

I'm relatively easy. The two main ones I can't stand are when the characters are written like literal children, and when characters who are fundamentally kind are written as being sort of judgmental and ungenerous (in that Bella Swan sort of way where she just doesn't really think anything nice about anyone who isn't Edward).

I LOVE when the characters' positive traits/abilities are emphasized.

I admit I do love when the character who I prefer as the bottom is made slightly more vulnerable and/or subby. It doesn't have to be a huge change though, and if it gets taken too far it runs the risk of becoming character-infantilization, which I hate. So there's a bit of a balancing act to this one, for me.

When it comes to AU type changes, it really depends on the character. Some characters are easy to adapt to AU scenarios ("Sherlock Holmes; hostile, precocious school-boy" works just fine for me), while others really are not easy to adapt (Tony Stark has to be rich, powerful, and devoted to some kind of large-scale cause, or he doesn't feel like Tony Stark to me).

I have this problem with HP fics where Harry is raised in a loving family. Just feels too diferent.

Your third paragraph speaks to me on a spiritual level. I haven't thought about it like this, but I also love these subtle changes for more vulnerable/uke fave. But not too much.

Oh man, yeah, I couldn't get into a fic that changed something so fundamental about Harry.

Your third paragraph speaks to me on a spiritual level.

I'm so glad someone here shares my taste! I think it's actually pretty common in fandom at large, but on FS I feel like there are a lot more people who hate even a whiff of subby-vulnerable-bottom characterization and basically view it as inferior to their preferred dynamics which--idk--adequately eschew the norms or whatever.
