Oh that's a bit disappointing. I know Labyrinth is kind of a fandom nostalgia fave and I see a lot of love for it on Tumblr (and also David Bowie in this movie and just generally is such a campy bisexual). I just assumed from that that the fic would be pretty queer and in line with that aesthetic even though it's a het ship.

I don't know if it's the same ratio, but occasionally I'll come across a Reylo fic in the wild with a plot/setup taken straight out of an 80s/90s romance novel (often in a modern AU, once even with Christianity as a background theme) and was a bit shocked. I mean, of course conservative Christian women exist in fandom and of course modern fandom romance plots/tropes have a very tight overlap with traditional romance novel publishing and of course pairings like Reylo would definitely attract a conservative Christian segment of fandom. But it's just that the places I hang around are so queer, non-religious, child-free, etc. that it's easy for me to completely forget that part of fandom exists -- even when I'm out here writing EXTREMELY by-the-numbers romance novel plot fanfiction myself -- just because I have no social circle overlap. It's kind of interesting!
