(Anonymous) 2013-10-07 02:43 am (UTC)(link)Let's be honest. It's fandom. A lot of people read fic. A lot of this fic is PORN. If someone stops writing PWP and wants people to read original fic with no sex, it's not the end of the world for either the reader or the writer to not like it. The writer isn't providing what the audience wants, so the audience has every right to not read the original stories.
JK Rowling's Harry Potter series is well-loved. A lot of her audience didn't read Casual Vacancy, because, well, it wasn't Harry Potter. This isn't shocking, either.
I don't read a friend's original stories, though I find they're well-written. It's just not the genre I enjoy. I don't read published books if they're not the genres I enjoy, either. (I'm never going to read a book like Girl With the Dragon Tattoo ever again.) It takes time from my life to read. If I don't enjoy the work, I'm going to put the book down. Maybe another poster is right. Maybe OP's work sucks. Maybe it doesn't. No one is obligated to read another person's work.
There are plenty of groups in fandom that are aimed at former fic writers writing original fiction. I suggest OP seek them out.
