Yours might not be the popular opinion in this thread, but it probably is the popular opinion in fandom. That's why there are so many people complaining about the lack of fic. :)

Personally, as a fic writer, that's the reason why I do fic instead of original. If I wanted to devote all that time to worldbuilding, I'd write my own stuff. Sometimes I just want to play in an already-built world with already-developed characters.

I think there's a difference between worldbuilding and atmosphere. To take an example that a lot of people in the thread have used, if you're writing a Sherlock Holmes fic, you can play in an already-built world and still spend time on, you know, hansom coaches splashing through rain-sodden streets, and smoky train stations packed with endless crowds embarking and disembarking, and that kind of thing.

Not that you need to, or even necessarily should - if you're not interested in atmosphere there's no reason to write it. It's just weird to me that people are associating worldbuilding and atmosphere so closely.

See, but that's kind of a complaints about lack of good writing. Good fics almost always have a handle on atmosphere.

Hm. I wouldn't see it that way. I think you can have a good fic that doesn't care about atmosphere (although I personally would prefer one that does).

Agree to disagree, I guess!
