These fanfic authors filing off the serial numbers to their fics frustrate me.

Mostly because the most obvious, boring, cliche pairs are always the most popular ones.

I give Reylo a lot of grace because the tension and conflicts between Rey and Kylo Ren had a lot there canon-wise. It could go either way, pre-RoS and especially even more pre-TLJ, on whether or not there was any romantic tension between them.

Dramione *trying not to roll my eyes*
I feel like Dramione and Harmonie were mostly fans OCing Hermione and pairing her with their preferred cute actor.
And Dramione in particular I don't like because it runs on the "enemies to love" trope well. And I hate it because canon Draco sucks so much (and not in an "author-is-a-bad-writer" way) and it's already annoying to see Hermione be 1/2 of most HP ships.

I've never been in the popular ships in the HP fandom and they were always incredibly ugly (IMO it drew out really nasty traits from people I used to think were friends - surprise, they weren't my friends, they were bitchy fandomers who resorted to 6th grade levels of bullying when anyone didn't agree with them).

Not to say canon should dictate a good pair (I tend to like crack ships), but I tend to not the most popular M/F ships in my fandoms because they tend to fall into the most clicked and used romantic tropes.
And I get it, they're popular for a reason. But it's frustrating because shipping drama will still affect my POV with fanfics that get published.
