Re: fanfic clichés you hate

[(Anonymous)]

I have been raging against samey, boring, X Didn't Die fix-it fics in my fandom since 2003 and they are still everywhere. For the longest time it made me think I just flat-out hated Character X, but a few good fics posted in the last couple of years made me finally realise that he's a pretty interesting guy and what I hate are all the schmoopy fans who are still butthurt about him dying.

If you hadn't said that this has been going on since 2003 I would have assumed you were referring to the Avengers fandom, because that's pretty much how I feel about the "Coulson lives" thing.

Hahaha, I guess it's not surprising that other fandoms have this problem. (I'm sure mine had it prior to 2003, too - that's just when I happened to get involved).

I've pretty much decided that I'm only going to enjoy a fix-it if it puts a lot into either the causes or the consequences of the fix. If it's just 'tada! X lives! Now cue gratification and cuddles!' I am on that back button. But something that sets up an AU way earlier and changes the whole canon in such a way that X winds up not dying? That might be cool! Something where X doesn't die, and that has all kinds of messy, complicated consequences which do not so much add up to Fix-It as to Make-It-All-Worse? Very cool. But playing fix-it straight & simple is just so. boring.

The "doing it right" you describe are my favorite type of fics. c:

(Like, The Fifth Act in Final Fantasy VII, or We're All Doomed in Homestuck and so on)

All I can think is, Maes Hughes from Fullmetal Alchemist? Time period's right, at least.

I have the exact same problem with my fandom, though granted, not since 2003. It's just, the same thing over and over and over again about how this character presumed dead is found or shows up again or whatever magic kept them from actually dying and what they were up to before being found. Getting a little boring, guys!
