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)
