IDK, it is very logical if you join fandoms because you are invested in the emotional dynamics between the characters. You start losing interest in smut=you start losing interest in the characters' relationships=you start losing interest in the fandom.

You just start seeing fanfic as regular literature instead of a wish fulfillment tool.

But I'm still interested in the characters' relationships after I lose interest in the smut, that's the weird part.

Wish fulfillment can go beyond sex. Or you can easily portray relationships without sex. I don't get your logic.

True, but I was assuming that losing interest in smut was only a symptom of losing interest in emotional dynamics. I was wrong (see the comment above).

This, exactly. And suddenly you barely find any fic up to par.

+1 to this.

OMG this.

Really? Because I've read a lot of fic much higher in quality than a lot of successful original fiction.

You have to wade through a towering pile of crap to find it, but I never find that much fun even before the glow wears off.
