I'm sorry OP, but I just always laugh at the "I don't mind X, I just wish there was less X" formulation. Because you do, actually, mind X at least a little. And hey, that's fine, you're entitled to your opinion (I don't ship incest either), but like everything else in fandom that you do or don't like, there's going to be other people who don't or do like it.

I mean, for everyone who feels like you do, there's someone going "Well I usually don't ship incest, but THIS is perfect!"

I'd say that it is perfectly fine to like a pairing but still wish there was less of it around. One of my fandoms has always been completely dominated by That One Pairing. I used to like it a lot back in the day and I still think it's cute. I wish there was less of it because it utterly overshadows everything else. I'm sure a good 70% of all fic posted centers on it, and even fic that isn't centered on it will frequently make some allusion to it anyway. It's all but impossible to find the characters involved paired with anyone else.

It isn't the pairing that bothers me. It's that the fandom can't see beyond it.

This. Thank you. I have a couple of fandoms in similar (though not as bad, fortunately) situations, where one pairing seems to dominate, and although they are cool pairings and there are good reasons behind their popularity, their prevalence means there's less variety. It bores me.

I think OP's point was more that they want *more* non-shippy brother fic, not necessarily less of the shippy stuff. They just want some options and variety.

OP: I'm with you. Love me some durincest but I also love them as just brothers, plus I kind of ship Kili/Bilbo too so more of that would be nice.
