I don't really do OTPs in general and am much more prone to want to multiship the fuck out of a single character, but I can read significant quantities of the same pairing happily. I tend to less get bored with the pairing itself and more with the tropes used (and reused and reused) with fic of the same pairing and so seek out other pairings to spice things up a bit. Or people will write my preferred pairing with a dynamic that I don't care for, which again leads to looking for different ships to read about.

I get the same type of fandom fatigue when characters are written the same regardless of which pairing is being written about. If A is always, always written as the manly, protective, lecherous toppy character (esp if these are fanon tropes and not the epitome of his canon characterization), it won't matter if A is paired off with B or C, if B and C are both characterized as delicate, overly pretty, danger-prone innocents in need of A's protection.

That makes a lot of sense, and I pretty much feel the same way. I think it's natural for fanon to come in clusters; somebody writes character X in a certain way and people who read that story get excited about it and repeat it in their fic and so on until the next fanon cluster comes along.
