Re: OTPs
Most of the people that write a ton of a pairing do so with shorter fics. If there are people out there writing about fifty long fics with the same main pairing in them then I would definitely seriously raise an eyebrow at them.
I could write a bunch of short fics about the same pairing, or one or two long ones, but not a ton in a row.
(Although I do have OTPs I'm not adverse to alternate pairings with the characters in them, if that makes sense. I imagine it's different for people that work themselves into thinking that only one pairing ever makes sense for these characters.)
Re: OTPs
(Anonymous) 2012-09-29 12:17 am (UTC)(link)Oh, yeah, I see that a lot, and that kind of makes sense, but then I see the people who write literally 50 fics that are between 10k-100k words for the same pairing, and I just can't comprehend how they can handle having to work with the same characters being together over and over again without having a break.
Personally, after one longfic I need a break.
Re: OTPs
In that case, it might be a saturation thing? I'm guessing those pairings are at least fairly popular in those fandoms? In which case they might also feel like there's not much point writing anything else, since people read and like and comment on their fics with that pairing.
It might not even occur to them that they could write another pairing, or they might not want to if they're getting praise for the one they do write consistently.
Re: OTPs
(Anonymous) 2012-09-29 12:42 am (UTC)(link)Most of the time they write for a really popular het or slash pairing, and they kind of build up a reader-base so I guess they don't see the point? I think they just get so wrapped up in that pairing that they kind of end up not thinking about other pairing possibilities.
A lot of them are actually really good writers, so I get kind of sad that they don't ever write for other pairings. I one time got a BNF in my fandom to write a crack pairing for me, and it was totally awesome and glorious, but, afterward, she was like, "Yeah, I'm never doing that again."
Re: OTPs
I'm sure there are people who can write tons of long fic about the same pairing, and good for them, but I can't write long fic at all.
(I also almost always have other people I'll pair the characters in my OTPs up with, for whatever that's worth.)
Re: OTPs
Heh, glad I'm not the only one who likes to switch up character dynamics in fic sometimes.
