Same.

As soon as an author starts tagging 'Character A Is X', I don't even bother clicking in. Invariably, those sorts of tags are shorthand for "this is a fic about X, and the author might as well have picked any other character in any other fandom for all that it has to do with A".

All the more so because most of my fandoms are fantasy or fantasy-adjacent, where those terms would not exist and make zero sense anyway.

They wanted to write a story that would fit better on fictionmania or shifti, but didn't want to admit to being a fictionmania or shifti type of writer.

Same. That's why I cannot read a friend's fics even if I love the character A because I feel they're using it more like an "alter-ego" or "self insert" than the character's personality on their own. I know that's why AUs are for, but you can sense is not Character A at all.

Ouch.

I tend to tag 'Character A is X' and had no idea-- but that would explain why I get people asking "How is A even X in this story?", because... I'm just using canon traits as a basis and it's not the plot of the fic, and they were looking for an issuefic.
