What's some media you've consumed

[(Anonymous)]

Where the fanfic just doesn't interest you one you go looking for it?

Re: What's some media you've consumed

Not sure about once I go looking for it, but I've just never felt the urge to read or write fanfic for the LUNAR series. Everything wrapped up so neatly and I never once wondered how the gangs were faring post-game, or even the little moments in between.

Every time I happen to see 30 minutes of Harry Potter during one its daily marathons on cable, I always get a 30-minute urge to read some fic. Then I just can't find anything because there is too much.

I religiously watched both LOST and Elementary and was completely uninterested in fic for either. I think it was because I didn't feel the need to get into the characters and their relationships more (including the fact that I didn't ship anyone). With LOST I just wanted to watch for the mystery and with Elementary I guess I was just really satisfied with the characters as presented on the show?

Honestly, most of them, but the one that surprised me was Yuuri on Ice!!! I was obsessed and convinced *that* was the series that would get me reading *and* writing fic again. I read a couple of great fics in the early days, then the fandom exploded and I found I was satisfied enough with the canon and wasn't willing to sort through the avalanche to find the fics that were worth my time.

Most of the game fandoms where you have a customisable main character and/or strong emphasis on very different playthroughs/player choices. I tried reading fic for Dragon Age, Baldur's Gate and the likes but eh, getting to know a new literal OC in every did is not really my thing. Only exception is Durge centered fic in the BG3 fandom because Durge has more of a canon background but still... not my favourite.

Less a particular fandom and more a dynamic: I'm completely uninterested in any shipfic if the characters I like are already a couple in canon. It just feels like I don't "need" any shipfic in that case.

Hannibal. It is hard to get the tone and characterizations right. I admit I didn't look very hard for fic, but kept finding too much fluff and ABO and just noped out.

I tried looking for some Reylo fic, a few months after TLJ came out. I'm sure there was some good stuff in there somewhere, but most of it just wasn't what I was looking for. It felt like it was all either, "Kylo Ren is a misunderstood sad boy who has been done wrong, and Rey is the bland (but special!) self-insert who understands him" or "Kylo Ren is a dark fuck prince and Rey is the bland (but special!) self-insert who is helpless to resist his magnetism." Sometimes it was a twofer and Kylo Ren was both a misunderstood sad boy and a dark fuck prince at once.

I'm not sure exactly what I was looking for from Reylo fanfic, but I know for sure I wanted something that didn't play to such bog-standard M/F romance tropes.

I'd want fic for a ship like that to be Battle Couple stuff, featuring lots of ethically dubious moments in which Ren is struggling to change and Rey is struggling to resist her own darker impulses. You're telling me there's none of that out there?

I'm friends with some relatively popular Reylo writers, and while I did see what you were talking about, the post-TROS fics were really good and managed to give me canon Rey and canon Ben. Not so much the SPESHUL PRINCE/PRINCESS. Granted, I was trying after TROS and not TLJ, so YMMV, but I found a lot of really good fic.
