I have never read an IC Zutara fic and I used to read a lot of fic.
That part of fandom became really toxic really fast to people who didn't do the exact same thing they were already up to. And they ran around being awful and telling everyone else their ships sucked. Not classy.
My friend had a fantastic, thoughtful, IC Zutara fic all planned out but decided not to write it. She just didn't want to be a part of that.
I'm the same way.
The problem is that many (not all) Zutara shippers don't actually seem to like the show or the characters very much if at all. They hate half the cast. How can you write good fic for a canon you don't respect or even pay that much attention to?
