Re: What was the popular trope when you got into fandom?

Hmm....

Well for one, among teenagers like me there were these huge crossovers on ffnet (in the misc section) where a bunch of characters from cartoons cartoons were cast in roles in a Disney or animated movie plot with OCs here and there. Some of them could be really fun actually. Though we did get flamed and picked on by older writers for this EVEN THOUGH most of our stuff to my knowledge was tucked away in a certain section of ffnet. Idk if this could work on ao3 unless they had a system with a more easily exclude-able tag rather than listing all the fandoms which could be annoying to exclude. A shame it was really fun back then


Alsooo there were grimdark AUs. Which could be ok or REALLY BAD.

There were OC fics with "OC as the protag's twin going on adventures with them". Again those could be really fun or really annoying and bad

Then there were the "my BETTER godmod Mary Sue OC comes in to a fanfic to kill /get rid of the evil Mary Sue OCs invading" metafics known as Suehunters or OC hunters (i thik) which were just embarrassingly cringe to everyone except the writer and a few devoted friends.

Man the 2000s fandom was wild.
