I'm pretty sure all kink memes degenerate into this at some point. Just guessing, but I'd say it has something to do with diminishing returns or cycles or something; fans make kink memes to read porn of their characters, and new people discover the kink memes before the actual media. Those people begin writing and reading at the meme, and that draws in new people who've never seen the source material or don't really care for it much. And the cycle just repeats.

*shrugs* My thoughts.

We're also between seasons in Sherlock, I think fanwork often peters out in both quantity and quality when there's no new canon to work off of, This isn't always the case, but [shrug] it's a thought.

[majorshipper]

Yep, there's that too.

I think this is definitely part of the problem for Sherlock fandom. I remember after the first series there were a few months where I could barely keep up with fics and there was something new and interesting everyday, but then it slowly died out until it was just the kinkmeme or some chaptered AUs. I thought maybe this time we could keep the momentum going, but it looks like it's happening again. I just think most people move on after a while only to come back for new canon, like I did.

And kinkmemes, from what I've seen of them, go through phases of their own. The Sherlock one was pretty massive and has lasted a very long time *and* there are lots of fanworks outside of the meme, so it kind of makes sense that it's 'dying'.

Yeah, even joining in early 2011, I found the were so many posts on sherlockbbc, I made a filter on my Friends Page on LJ so the posts there would stop pushing content from my other Friends off the first page of my flist... O_O

Yeah... Though in same ways it's nice; I can focus on other things.
