Explicit, m/m and long, I love slow build with lots of sexual tension. I just want to focus on the characters and the romantic development, so I'm not into attempts at action, sci fi, fantasy etc. The simpler and less prominent the setting the better so I gravitate towards school/college, generic sort of modern aus. I like gimmicky romcom scenarios, angst when it's done right and isn't melodrama. Fluff and slice of life bore me, 'established relationship' is an automatic no because seeing the relationship go from friends/enemies/etc to lovers is the best part. Once they're together I check out.

Big western juggernaut fandoms usually have the best stuff, mostly thanks to the sheer volume. Anime has a lot of bad fic because it attracts underage, but I still prefer anime fandoms in general.

>>16449Same here. I remember when I was like 10 years old, I was REALLY into Inuyasha. At that time, I discovered fan fiction, and read a lot of PG fan fiction that didn't really have any steamy romance in it. It was mostly poorly Mary Sue self insert garbage, but 10 year old me liked it enough that I got really into reading fanfiction.
One day, I stumbled on a "lemon" fan fiction (featuring Sango and Miroku). I had no idea what "lemon" meant going in. I remember being horrified at first, especially since I only had a basic understanding of sex (Penis goes in vagina and a baby is made). Suddenly I was learning way more details about sex that I was never told in school or church. Perverted curiosity got the better of me and I ended up reading a few more. Most of them were terrible and I didn't even finish reading them. However, I did start to get really into reading mature fan fiction. I mean, even though I only had a basic understanding of sex, I knew I really wanted Kagome and Inuyasha to hook up, and I knew that part of getting married meant you would have to have sex and make a baby. Fan fiction was how I learned what "baby making" entails.
One fateful day, I came across a Miroku and Inuyasha lemon. I felt dirty reading it (This was during a time when homosexuality was considered really taboo, and I come from a super religious family), but curiosity got the better of me.
As I'm sure most here know, lots of fan fiction is not written in a direct way. Rather than saying "Inuyasha stuck his dick in Miroku's asshole", it was written as something like "Inuyasha put himself inside Miroku". This sentence makes perfect sense as an adult, but as a 10 year old, the meaning wasn't so clear. I just assumed that wiener's were really stretchy and could expand really wide.
I believed this for a couple of years… I still cringe at the thought.

Am I the only one here who read smut when there's tension between the main characters and completely drop the fics when they're about to fuck? The sex scenes are so boring or badly written most of the time I just give up in the middle of chapters. It's been a while since I read anything due to disappointment though. Also,

>>16451I used to love those longer fanfics, but fanfic culture might have changed since when I was a teen. Those longer fanfics tended to be mysteries or 'grandiose' epics sort of dealies.
I felt like there was a good variety of longer story oriented fanfic and romance, and lemons etc. Now fanfiction seems significantly more oriented towards oneshots and romance/porn. I have a hard time finding longer plot oriented fic, have to wade through all these lemons.

I'm a fujo so gay shit (on a side note fuck people who tag there tranny stories as m/m on AO3 I hate having to sort through them for more recent fandoms, thank goodness for the new updates letting me blacklist tags). I'll read any story assuming it's competently written and not a stupid AU or High School story, the exception being ghosts and deathfics. My favorite kinds are Canon Divergence fics, angst, and slowburn. I prefer longer plot oriented fics with gay romance on the side, if it's just 100k of porn or sappy shit I lose interest real fast.
>have you ever written fanfiction?
Yes but it's shitty poorly written garbage, and I've only ever posted anonymously on kinkmemes.
>how frequently do you read/write fan fiction?
Not very often since most kinkmemes I like are dead and I'm not posting my work on a fanfiction site, not even anonymously
>whats the weirdest fan fiction youve written and or read?
There was a really strange fill on one of the old One Piece kinkmemes where the male members of the crew were stranded on a island and the angry islanders captured them and then made them gather 5 fruits. As the members came back one at a time they were forced to shove the fruit up their asses and if they could get all of them in at once they'd be let go, if they couldn't they'd die. It focused on Zoro shoving a bunch of apples up his ass and almost getting them all in, but during the last one he ends up in a laughing fit and fails. The punchline of the story was that he just saw Sanji returning to the islanders with coconuts. I read it like 10 years ago but it's really stuck with me just because of how bizarre and funny it was.
>what fandoms tend to have the best and or worst fan fics?
Some really fucking awful ones are:
Osomatsu-san (Really disappointing considering there is lots of potential for angst considering the taboo nature of the relationships most of these fanfics focus on. Instead its all Hesowars AU garbage.)
Pokemon (Too much OC shit and garbage to sort through, does have some good fics hiding in there.)
Real Person Fanfiction (It's awful, no exceptions. It's also considerably worse written than most out there and I have no idea why)
Best Fandoms:
Evangelion (Advoiding all the Kawoshin garbage, there is actually a lot of interesting character studies and reflective fics here)
Persona 4 (A ton of interesting alternative takes on the murder mystery plot, some with a better killer reveal than the actual game has. Non-shipping fics are better than the romance ones)
Yu-Gi-Oh! (Nothing really specifc, it just has a suprising amount of good fanfics.)

Jane Eyre fanfic is some of the most horrifying stuff out there. Austenfic, too. People always try to mimic the style and it's just so bad, but if anyone knows of any Jane/Rochester or damn, any Austen pairing at all that's halfway decent, lay it on me, I'll read it.

in general i believe that the bigger the fandom, the more variety you get, both of good and bad.

>have you ever written fanfiction?
yeah, i've been writing fanfiction for eight years now. a couple oneshots as gifts or commissions and then a few longer, 100+ page fics. i'm working on a longer slow burn fic right now, but i've been busy with life and can't update or write as frequently as i'd like.

i wrote some pretty embarrassing stuff when i was younger, but have since deleted most of my older fics. some of the weirder stuff i've read are vkei band fics, where gackt is a contract assassin or something? also some 'getting fucked by tentacles and then laying alien eggs' marvel fic.

>>16473 said: media geared towards older/adult consumers. Also, weird/rare/"ugly" pairings, because it's usually grownups who see their appeal. This one is weird, but after playing GTA V, I checked if there were fanfics about Michael & Trevor. They are not my taste, but I thought that their deep friendship & the backstabbing that takes place in the game are some A+ template for dramatic smut fics. And indeed, there were some and they were great! Old fandoms have amazing writers, too. I recently watched "The Gladiator" again and searched for fanfics afterwards. The fandom is dead, but there were some very good stories that were written in 2000.
I'm not sure about the worst fandoms, but I've read some really bad Jrock fanfics.

>what kind of fanfiction do you tend to gravitate towards
Darkfic, for sure. But I´m not the biggest fan of gory porn/rape just for the sake of it, I´m more into physiological trauma and abuse, but in that particular genre it´s hard to actually find something that is lengthy, well written and feels realistic and not pwp written by a 15-year old.
>have you ever written fanfiction?
I used to write TH-fics about the Kaulitz twins on gsm away back. Luckily, I grew out of that pretty quick and realized that my writing was shit.
>whats the weirdest fan fiction youve written and or read?
Not the weirdest, but when I read HP-fiction I came across a Neville/Snape fic, but I didn't´t properly read the tags when I started so I didn't´t know that was the main pairing. It was very long and a slowburn, so when the slash started it hit me right in the face, but I was already invested in the fic and it was pretty well-written, so I ended up bawling my eyes out over a very dub-con pairing. It was years ago, but I still think about from time to time.
>what fandoms tend to have the best and or worst fan fics?
RPF definitely has some of the worst. Probably because those fandoms tends to attract really young and inexperienced writes who self-insert and basically just writes guilty pleasure fics with no plot.
I don´t know any fandoms that are overflowing with amazing fics, but the bigger ones definitely have some very good writers. I also agree with the anons above about it being hard to find lengthy fics that are centered around a strong, original plot. They´re definitely there, but they are hard to find and often they´re not even popular.

>>16434I've been reading fanfic since I discovered the internet at age 12 and I'm almost 30 now. I like fluffy, comedic fics or fics that focus on domestic living. My main fandom is already really dark and we know that the main characters are most likely not going to have a happy ending.
I write fanfic, but not all are published anywhere. Actually most of them are the same themes, Character A gets raped, Character B comforts them after. After a while, I realise that I write these themes because its a sort of self fulfilment fantasy. I was sexually abused as a kid and it just makes me happy? to write these fics. I mostly focus on the aftercare because I guess I really wanted someone to be Character B to my Character A, but sadly no one was/is. No one other than anons on the internet knows about my CSA so I've been bottling it up for a long time only to write out these specific scenes over and over again with a few variations on them.
I should probably see a therapist for this, but they're expensive as fuck in my country without a referral and I don't want to go to a doctor and tell them these in person lol. So, fanfic's all I've got for now.

Used to be really into dark fic and would go on kink memes and just purposefully seek out the fics with fucked up shit like kidnapping, monster sex and rape. I kind of went to the other extreme now and tend to read more fluffy fics with no sex. I'm still into the fucked up weird smut fics, I just find they're harder and harder to find now and it doesn't help I have higher standards.
>have you ever written fanfiction?
I've come up with ideas, for stuff and daydream about where I'd go with it but have yet to actually dip my toe into it.

Usually every few weeks or so.
>whats the weirdest fan fiction youve written and or read?
Oh god … I remember reading a lot of fucked up Fullmetal Alchemist fanfiction back in middle school, but my memory is pretty muddled now. I do remember reading a Homestuck fanfic where Sollux gets raped by bees. Oh, and there was one Rick & Morty fanfic that legitimately made me feel nauseous, I had to stop reading and lay down. It was about Morty getting some kind of parasitic alien in his abdomen and Rick adminsetering some kind of general anaesthesia and rooting around in his guts trying to get it out, with Morty awake and conscious of everything and could just … Feel him rooting around inside his guts. I remember it being grotesquely graphic and detailed.
>what fandoms tend to have the best and or worst fan fics?
I don't know about worst, but I remember Homestuck having some of the most fucking bizarre fanfiction of any fandom that I've seen. Transformers had a surprising amount of really well written fics and actually had probably one of the best written fics I've ever read. I read it back in like 2010-2011 or something and I think it was called "Swindle's Log" or something. It was about Swindle being put into this jail right across from Shockwave who starts playing these mind games with him and I remember it being really intense.

I feel like the marvel fandom is older on average, so most of them at least know how to write. And thank god for the new "exclude" option on ao3, so that I can filter out all that bts kpop shit lol.
The 1st fic I ever read was vampire!sasuke/human!naruto. Despite never being part of a fandom, I've always really been into "bad" dark/long haired guys, so I really like the loki/tony stark pairing. I also really like if the smaller more feminine guy is the top/dom, mainly because I hate if the bottom dude is written all weak and girly. I also like hannibal/will (because mads mikkelsen is hot). Even though I do read really disgusting shit like incest, breeding, knotting and rape roleplays, i can't read it, if it isn't consensual, that would be too much even for me.
Recently I read the hottest fic about dom!timothee chalamet/sub!armie hammer, but despite getting updated regularly, it was suddenly deleted, I'm heartbroken lol.
Pic related is the best story I ever read. The auther even sold it as a book(?), but now you somehow can neither buy nor read it online.
If anybody ever came across something similar, I'd be very thankful for your recommandations.

The vampire is super young, pretty and long haired, but manly. And the human guy is still a virgin despire coming across as burly.

>>16521While it's older and doesn't quite line up with the Persona canon anymore I like this one
>https://archiveofourown.org/works/972040?view_full_work=trueIt's a nice alternative telling of the game with Souji as the killer.
I also like this series of fics though it's kinda a guilty pleasure thing since I'm an Adachifag and a big fan of him and Dojima >
https://archiveofourown.org/series/700269The author puts a few too many of their worldviews and personal opinions in it though.
Damn, I can't find a lot of fics I really remember liking, including a really good Mitsuo longfic, one where Naoto was the killer, and a retelling with Namatame as the MC. They might have been deleted, which would totally suck.
I'm going to go look a little harder for them. In the meantime here's the weirdest P4 fic I've ever read, it's on badbadbathouse somwhere but I couldn't find it but I've got most of the Adachi-centric stories saved incase it goes down so here it is.

>>16434>whens the last Time youve read fanfiction?i'm trying to find some good ones to read right now!
>what kind of fanfiction do you tend to gravitate towardsdefinitely slash, some yuri (but honestly it tends to be boring, which makes sense as fanfic is usually written by sexually repressed women ime) and i love longer fics as long as they're well written. i used to like really dramatic, dark fic when i was younger but as i've gotten older i prefer fluff/smut, or some reasonable drama but nothing like mind-break, tons of gratuitous rape, etc. the fandoms i'm into currently are FFXIV and BNHA though i tend to look up fanfic of anything i watch/enjoy. some of the very first fanfics i ever read were for naruto and tokyo mew mew. i also used to love bandom and still re-read some of the great fics that came out of that.
>have you ever written fanfiction?yes but i've never finished one. and most of the recent stuff involves my ocs and is really self-indulgent so i'll never publish it anywhere. but it makes me happy so whatever lol
>how frequently do you read/write fan fiction?i don't write it too frequently, only when i have a burst of inspiration. i read it pretty frequently, at least a couple times a week, though lately i've been reading more doujins/original yaoi. imo it's been getting kinda harder to wade through the shitty stuff and get to the good stuff, but it could also just be me getting old and the fandoms themselves staying young ;-;
>whats the weirdest fan fiction youve written and or read? as for what i've written myself, uh, i have a few fairly odd kinks that don't get much love so i've written them for myself. for what i've read… fuck there's been a lot. some of the supernatural fic i read during my short stay in that fandom was pretty fucked up. lots of weird demonic incest and gore and just… it was bad.
>what fandoms tend to have the best and or worst fan fics? there's really bad stuff everywhere, but also really good stuff in the most surprising places. honestly the best fics i've ever read remain bandom pieces. though it's rare to find fics on the same scope these days, so i try not to compare. i'm happy with mindless fluff as long as it's enjoyable in the end!
>>16467i fucking love a/b/o and i'm not ashamed (okay slightly ashamed). unlike the other reader i eat mpreg up as long as it's not RPS. and a/b/o is the perfect setting for it without getting into weird explanations. plus shit like marking and heats are just great smut.

I've read so many but there's this one person on quotev who's fanfictions I really like since the plots are interesting to me. They mostly do "Yandere" type characters who are basically OCs so if you're not into that chances are you won't like these. Plus, a lot of them are really long like over 400 pages.
https://www.quotev.com/28693574This next one I've read so many times, starting in freshmen year lol I can't really tell if I like it because of nostalgia or if it's really good so you can be the judge of that, it's a creepypasta reader insert without feeling like a cliche one. It's pretty long and it's less about romance and more about them coming to trust each other.

To me fanfiction is a guilty pleasure I have a stressful job ,so going home after a particularly bad day and read a good fanfiction before sleep it's great, I usually like long ones , with slow burn , and smut, sometimes I like to read cringy fanfictions , makes me laugh alot when they are describing a complex sex escene and the way they are describing how they are holding each other is almost impossible , idk I guess fanfiction gets me this melancholic feeling about being carefree in my home when I was like 11 reading stupid shit and don't worrying about anything

>how frequently do you read/write fan fiction?I read daily but write maybe every few months if I have the time.
>whats the weirdest fan fiction youve written and or read? This wasn't necessarily the weirdest but it was by far the worst. Everyone likes to give credit to My Immortal as the worst one out there but for me it's My Inner Life by Linksqueen. I've been into fanfiction for ages and this is one of the greatest gems I have ever found. It has everything from poorly written sex scenes, drinking during pregnancy, and terrible self-insert. It's a Legend of Zelda fanfic a girl named Linksqueen/Jenna wrote about her lucid dreams with Link. I don't think it ever got as famous as My Immortal because of the length and the fact that it came out in the early 2000s(or earlier, I can't quite recal atm). The writer was known to have massive meltdowns when people criticized it as hot garbage, which it was lol. It was taken off fanfiction.net it was so bad but someone went and archived it along with her many spergouts.
Link to story:

>what fandoms tend to have the best and or worst fan fics? All fandoms have their good and bad fics so I can't say. I tend to gravitate towards the Tales of series(I used to be real heavy into Tales of Symphonia). If you hang around tumblr chances are you're going to run into dumpsterfire writings. The worst fics on there tend to be the ones that shoehorn diversity and all that like trans!Sasuke or asexual!Naruto. Stuff like this is in every fandom so if I'm looking for trash or quality I just avoid it. If I'm gonna read trash I'm at least going to find some that's actually entertaining and not some 13 year old's attempt at diversity.

No. 16563
>>16562She hates 2 of the popular ships that her obscure ship is involved in, probably due to insecurity or something lol. She likes shading the fics written for these 2 ships, citing how they're predictable and how the dynamic written for them is heteronormative (as if hers weren't far off).
Say her obscure ship is YZ while the popular ship is XY; she bashed X after a particular vlive where X shook Y off and was sort of ignoring Y and she took it really personally, going on a spiel about how X is terrible and XY ship is soooo unhealthy, as if she's personally involved in their lives and that XY haven't been friends for nearly 5 years who constantly playfight this way. Her group of writer friends ran with it and it somehow became a thing within the YZ fandom that Y deserves better (with Z) and that XY is a
toxic ship, which is fucking stupid imo these are real people not your fantasies.
Lowkey think she's self-inserting as Y to ship with her bias Z, since she's always writing Y in roles that she was involved in, writing him studying the same major, writing him having the same interests as her, constantly stating that Z is the perfect boyfriend and how YZ has the perfect relationship that she wants for herself despite them having only 5 minutes of actual interaction, etc etc. Funny thing is how she disclosed all of this on her cc as if no one would connect the dots.

i kind of figured she disliked jungwoo for daring to get in the way of her crackship. she’s portrayed him as such a vile person in some stories who’s just mean for the evulz so yeah that shit makes sense now. seeing how she wrote him reminded me of a villain a 10yo would create it was that simplistic.
can’t wait for 116 to debut so xuxi will be away for a while and i’m praying for cantonese line to become the next big ship. then there’ll be more variation in lucas ships + people will hopefully grow tired of hyuckhei and the gimmick will die down No. 16571

>what kind of fanfiction do you tend to gravitate towards
Hmmmm I used to be really into angst and h/c when I was a teen, now a days I feel like that's still there (toxic codependency is still my number 1 kink) but things like character exploration are more fun, I guess after a while reading fics you start getting more exquisite in how people see a character independently of fandoms

No but I've always wanted to, seeing as English isn't my first language it kinda seems hard?

They even had to recall the book Killing Time because the writer, Della Van Hise, who was well known in the fandom for her Spock/Kirk slash fics, put a shit ton of homoerotic subtext in it. The editor is take alot of it out but then sent to original, unedited one to be printed by mistake.

I love fanfiction that focuses on aspects of the original series that were underdeveloped or downright ignored.

i just found out one of my absolute favorite fanfics from my current fandom was plagiarized and ngl i feel devastated about it because i’ve held it in such high regard for so long and have such fond memories of it.
have any of you guys ever had an experience like that, where a work you loved turned out to be plagiarized? or have you had one of your own fics plagiarized?

>>16601Not fic related but there was a guy in a rpg by forum I used to partecipate in, everyone loved his writing style and his character, he was considered the best writer in the rpg, excellent, talented, he also acted holier than thou for it… A couple of years later I find out that he's been copypasting EVERYTHING from a Dean Koontz book. He didn't even change the character's name.
He also wrote a "fanfiction", also copypasted from another book.
Felt good to know that as shit as my writing used to be, at least all I wrote came straight out of my own brain lol. Plagiarizing is sad

>>16434Anons, can I get your opinions? How old is too old to write fanfiction & post it online?
I didn't have the guts to post any fanfic I'd written when I was a kid because my writing was bad. Now it's better, but I'm not in my teens anymore, and I'm not old either, but I still feel out of place around the kiddies on ao3, tumblr, ff & quotev.
Should I write that stuff & publish it or just spare myself the embarrassment?
No. 16621
>>16614absolutely not, that just invites more censorship, ao3 is the only fic site where you can write and post your most fucked up idea and there are people who will read it, sure there are dumbass tumblr kids who will comment and try to report but theyre retards who have no clue how the world works and grew up in a time where fandom censorship and thought policing was normal. fandom will always be a place to express yourself and find other people like you no matter what an anti-fujo self-hating 16 year old straight white girl ftm thinks
>>16618unpopular among young fandom kiddos who think everything must be pure uwu safe space family friendly content, pretty popular among people who were in fandom before the tumblr sjw crowd.
sidenote has anyone ever seen teens on tumblr claiming 'im a minor and this makes me uncomfortable' its such bullshit too since they almost always have nsfw blogs and explicit fics bookmarked on their ao3, i think these kids get a high over feeling like they have the power to make impressionable people succumb to them.
No. 16622
>>16621except the slippery slope argument is a fallacy. just because you censor one thing doesnt mean youre going to censor anything else; why would it? and theres a big difference between writing fanfiction about fictional characters and about real people. personally i couldnt give less of a fuck if someone wants to write 200k fanfics about fictional characters killing babies and raping ever minor in a 500 mile radius. but write the same story about a celebrity and yeah, it's wrong, in my opinion.
i know you want to feel like its all fine because it helps you get your rocks off or whatever, ("uwu im expressing myself") but i disagree. the funny thing is that the same people writing these fanfics are usually the people from tumblr getting mad over deepfakes or jennifer lawrence's nude leaks or whatever it is, because "omg guys think they are entitled to our bodies for sexual gratification!". how are real-person fanfics any different? pick a side.
and im not an anti-fujo. ive almost certainly been reading slash and yaoi as least as long as you have. and i dont buy into any of the 'stop fetishising gay people!' stuff either, so i guess youll have to create a new strawman.
and usually part of the argument goes that people can separate the 'fanfic' characters with the 'real people', but from what ive seen, teenage girls and young women are utterly mind-numbingly stupid and honestly can't. and i think it's harmful.
but all that being said, since ive written that post a month ago, ive realised that it really doesnt matter what ao3's policy is. even if they did decide to ban 'real-person' fics or just fics with real minors, 50 websites would pop up in its place that dont give a fuck. much like something like rape, its always going to exist; you cant stop people from doing it. the best youre gonna be able to do is take precautions as the
victim. thats just the way the world is.
No. 16623
>>16622hi anon, i myself am not into irl people fics, but i will always defend the right for women/girls to express themselves which was why i got so passionate there. ao3 is one of the few places with no rules and i think thats special. i feel its important for girls to explore the sexuality and feelings with fanfic, god knows how long women have always been put down for it, sjw culture is just another form of silencing women. idk how id be today if i didnt get into fanfic through shitty pokeshipping fics on deviantart as a kid.
most teenagers are just dramatic, i think its insulting to claim young women are stupid and cant seperate reality from fiction, no girl thinks her favorite boyband member will suddenly fall in love with her. with things like deepfakes i think the difference is trying to control the appearance of a celebrity vs just writing and imagining it, but thats just my thoughts. i don't have any strong opinions on them.

thank you for bumping this thread anon, I was just going to go looking for it.
>whens the last Time youve read fanfiction?
earlier today
>what kind of fanfiction do you tend to gravitate towards
I tend to enjoy one-shots and shorter chaptered works, though I'll read a longer work if it's already complete. I got invested in a fic that I didn't realize was abandoned once when I was like 13 and I've been burned forever lol. Theme-wise, I tend to avoid reader/self inserts and pure kink-focused smut (doesn't offend or gross me out I just don't get much out of it). I also have a rule that if a fic is generally longer than the longest book I own that I've been meaning to read, then I'm not going to read it because I could be using that time to read an actual book. This sounds stupid but it actually saved me from reading that that one smutty House of Cards fic back when I was into BTS because it was longer than Crime and Punishment lol.
>have you ever written fanfiction?
Yes. I used to write it quite a bit as a teen. I deleted it all a few years back and I'm pretty bummed, I don't have much creative writing work from that time and I wish I could see how my style changed and my skill improved.
>how frequently do you read/write fan fiction?
Right now I have a ton of half-baked fanfic ideas sitting around my harddrive and I'm actively working on one for Devil May Cry and one for Final Fantasy XII.
>whats the weirdest fan fiction youve written and or read?

I've never really paid attention to the statistics but if I had to hazard a guess, this is largely dependent on fandoms themselves rather than fandom as a whole.

>>36749Did you see an ABO tag on it? Usually when a random vagina appears in a male/male category fic with no trans tags it's an 'intersex omega'.
I do agree it's internalized misogyny, but it's pretty mild tbh. I think they strongly favour male characters and want to write about them and fit in with the big, popular fandoms, but they're more turned on by het sex and do mental gymnastics to combine the two. I don't think preferring straight porn is homophobic in itself, they just don't care for female characters enough to like straight ships in the first place. That said it honestly fucking repulses me. It's not like vaginas or het sex gross me out, but when I'm envisioning a male character and suddenly they have a vag I feel visceral disgust due to the bait and switch. All I want is for them to put it in the f/m category so I don't have to see it. The only thing worse is surprise tranny shit that they're intentionally quiet about in the tags to act like it's no big deal, it's just as gross but also virtue signalling.

>>36752I fucking LOATHE A/B/O dynamics in slashfic.
First off: they don't apply to humans. They don't even apply to wolves, which is where they were originally "observed". Only wolves in captivity do the ranking thing. In wild wolf packs, the "alphas" are just the parents of the other wolves.
Second, humans have their own fucking words to categorize those "types". "Dom", "sub" and "verse". It's fucking gross and weird that animal logic is being applied to humans. This ABO fics also usually have tags for shit like "in heat" or whatever. Fucking retards, that's called ovulating in humans, and only women do it.
Speaking of, this A/B/O shit is just an excuse to treat gay couples like straight ones. Do these fujoshis think that "alpha" and "beta" sound less retarded than "seme" and "uke"? Because they don't. Also, gay relationships often don't have one "manly man" and one "femme boy". I bet all these horrible ABO fics are being written by autistic fujoshis with conservative upbringings who think that gay couples have a "man" and a "woman".
Also, as another anon mentioned, A/B/O fics tend to have mpreg or fakebois, because these weirdos apparently also have pregnancy fetishes. Why even write gay characters if they're going to go to all these lengths to make it as not-gay as possible?
No. 36785
>>36713Maybe I'm just too stupid to figure out how people are tagging their work now idk.
Thanks for the encouragement. I was more interested in the Death Note fanfic than the Harry Potter one and was concerned that fandom would be even deader.

No. 36874
>>36767>>36799Yeah, it's just a fetish, especially the "in heat" part. Half of the A/B/O are tagged as "Explicit" or "Mature" and the plots only revolve around "porn without plot" or "porn with plot".
I mean, the fanfic authors/characters are always explaining how "all ALPHAS ARE SUPER THIRSTY AND RAGE WHEN THEY ENCOUNTER AN OMEGA IN HEAT AND POUND INTO THEM UNTIL THEY ARE SATISFIED".

Okay so I used to read fanfic when I was between 13 and 15 and it was within a very specific setting and ship. Then I forgot about it…untill a few weeks ago.
Basically, my thirst and unwillgness to deal with IRL men (or porn industry) has led me to read fanfiction again and ….dude wtf. People are writing the wildest shit!
Like, I've seen 25 chapter Mr. Robot fanfics …but they're vampires? Or Stranger Things fanfics but in a modern setting where they're all corporate lawyers??
I know there's much more wild than that but this AU shit is fucking with me. Who writes that??

No. 40038
>>39995A mixing of interests. In some of my AUs it's usually done in a setting that could be possible if the creators had the freedom, for example in a few of mine I thought "Hey, both of these things I like are owned by the same company so I would like to see a crossover!" So I write something myself to satisfy my hopes and dreams. I am aware people like the most random things and think "I'd like to see a crossover" without even thinking "Hey, it COULD happen because
x and
x are both similar".
No. 40046
>>39995For some of the really AU stuff, some people do it because they want to use certain character archetypes and tropes within their story. But for a lot of it, if you're using a preexisting character and familiar setting or elements from the preexisting canon, then you don't need to spend as much time world building. If you just want to tell stories to a wide audience, then writing an AU fic in a popular fandom will get you more exposure. People are already familiar with the characters and are usually looking for dynamics involving those archetypes.
Some people just want to explore the what-ifs, ranging from timeline diversion to crossovers.
And then you also have those people who just throw the character archetypes out the window, and in the end all they're using is a name and physical description for their fan-casted story.

>>41632It is not normalising on the archive's side. Those are literally
trigger warnings, the first thing you see about the fic so you won't stumble onto that shit on accident.
It's the writers fault for writing that disgusting filth.
The archive has a policy about not being judgemental and they put those warnings in place because people want to write horrible shit and they can't exactly silence them due to their policy so they are making sure the warnings are in place and the first thing you know about the fic actually.
If you're going to censor stuff, where exactly do you draw the line? Not saying it's okay, but you would need to go through every existing work on the site to get rid of all the vile things, but with the warning system you can just filter them out and authors are using the warning system themselves meaning nobody has to read every single thing to check it for
triggering content.

triggered" by a throwaway line. Some people are working through their own issues in those tags. And some are just sick fucks.
All I care about is that they are actually using the tags, and AO3 has the capability to exclude said tags in a search.

M/F, F/F, most of the time I’m only interested in one ship and one ship only from whatever I’m into at the moment. I’ll go months where I’ll only read about one couple, lost interest, then find another to latch onto. I love slow burn character studies that end with smut lol.

I’m in the middle of a multi-chapter one that’s gotten a lot of positive feedback which makes me happy! Just wish I was more consistent when it came to writing.

I’ll go through days where I can binge multiple fics and write multiple chapters, and then not touch it for months.
>whats the weirdest fan fiction youve written and or read?
I can’t find it anymore but it was a Homestuck fic where Bro ate a piece of Dave’a sunburnt skin, and Dave was so turned on he ran to his room to masturbate. This was set before Homestuck canon so Dave was 12 btw.
>what fandoms tend to have the best and or worst fan fics?
I find that more niche communities tend to have better fanfics actually. At least ones that are interesting to read and the writers seem to understand the characters much better. Huge corporate schlock like Harry Potter and Marvel tend to be so incredibly boring I can’t get through any of it.

I often prefer AUs depending on the fandom, some canons bore the shit out of me and I'm just interested in the characters. Simple AUs like college or highschool etc are good for exclusive focus on the relationship development, and tbh it's easier for an amateur writer to pull off because they can draw on real life experiences. But either way a good writer can make almost anything enjoyable and their skill is way more important than the tropes they're using.

I think I stopped reading porn fics in freshman year of highschool. I pretty much stopped reading fanfiction in junior year however. For the stuff I actually like it's mostly because I just enjoy crying.
Also, fucking mpreg fan fiction is the worst.

so idk what babyfic means so i googled it and there were two meanings for the word. one is de-aged characters which i don't mind and the other is oc children of canon characters (which i really don't like and find it pointless and stupid). so, i ended up putting it on depends, especially since babyfic is a general term for two things that vastly different from one another.

>>97164That's a romantic way to put it, but for me it's like - the more obstacles a couple have to overcome to be together, the more intense their relationship is, and therefore the more indulgent it is for the reader. Two good friends who fall in love and live happily ever after is great irl, but boring af in fiction. Enemies who can't help being attracted to each other and who have a tonne of drama and conflict to work through is way more entertaining and emotionally involved. And no doubt has way more sexual tension if it's that sort of fic, because if you're gonna fuck someone you hate, you have to REALLY want them.
This logic applies to a lot of tropes and story lines, not just enemies to lovers. If it's too easy and straightforward for them to get together, it's boring. That's why I won't read established relationship fic.
No. 97190
>>97171>Two good friends who fall in love and live happily ever after is great irl, but boring af in fiction. Gotta disagree, nothing better than slow-burn story about two friends obviously into each other but afraid to cross boundaries and confess

>>97190You are absolutely right, slow burn mutual pining between friends is a god tier trope. But that's not what I meant when I said friends falling in love, I just worded it in a simplistic way to get my point across. I meant if they had no conflict at all and were just smooth sailing the whole time, that would be boring. Being afraid to confess or assuming the other person isn't into you is definitely the sort of conflict that makes a fic good.

M/M slow burn, angsty. Maybe that's changed now, idk.

Never now, but I used to write all throughout the day back in high school. I stopped reading other fan fictions when I was like 16 because I felt I'd rather create than read other people's shit.

I have read really good works from pretty much every fandom I was ever apart of.

Eventually Y/N is fed up and tries to kill herself, obviously fails and 1D are suddenly full of remorse and fall in love with her. What the fuck.

Anyone else hate the trend of fanfic writers making one half of a m/m or f/f ship trans? And when they don't even mention it in the tags and then get upset when people call them out in the comments and start crying about transphobia. I don't know how much of a bigger trend it is, but it's prevalent in some fandoms and it's really annoying. I'm not even talking about gender-swapping a character, which can be fun, but actually making a character trans and writing about them having disgusting sex and soapboxing about trans issues in a setting where it makes no sense. Like, I love het but when I click on smut where both/all parties are men, I'm expecting cocks only, no vaginas. I feel visceral disgust reading tranny shit. I hate all of this.

They think this should apply to real people too.
Also I don't think that most people are making characters trans to "pander" or to impress their woke friends… they make characters trans because they themselves are trans and they get off to that kind of content. Most of them are projecting onto the character they're transing, they want to BE the character and they want the character to be like THEM.

A few hours ago.
>what kind of fanfiction do you tend to gravitate towards
Mostly darkfics and canon-complacent fics. Sometimes I'll get into an AU if it's interesting and not too out there. Lately, I've been really into well-written reader-insert stuff. Especially ones that focus on side characters or villains.
>have you ever written fanfiction?
I last wrote a fanfic 12 years ago while suffering from a flu. It was a smutty darkfic in which my fictional crush at the time fucked and then murdered a reader-insert. I've had a few ideas since, but I never sat down and wrote any of them.
>how frequently do you read/write fan fiction?
I read every week or so. If I really like a fic I'll re-read it a few times in a week.
>whats the weirdest fan fiction youve written and or read?
Some pretentious Star Fox fanfic that tried to be postmodern and memeing at the same time. It didn't work, but the author was decently skilled and kind of funny.
>what fandoms tend to have the best and or worst fan fics?

Definitely hurt/comfort, I like when a character is going through some fucked up shit and the other character is their support. Anything with some kind of trauma. On a level down from that is anything with a good plot and fun AUs as long as the characters are well-developed

>whats the weirdest fan fiction youve written and or read?
It’s funny because I’ve read every kind of kink fic I’ve come across, but the weirdest fic was a Persona 4 one from years ago where the MC (Souji) has an eating disorder in that he purposely eats rotting food to make himself sick and cope with his issues. It was filled with a lot of vomit and pretty gross, but really well-written so that you felt compelled to continue. I still think about that fic sometimes

I should have known that one should NEVER EVER read an incomplete work, but I've been spoiled by people that update their (very good) works once a year (or every 2 years). I should have know and I have only myself to blame.
Fucks sake, I can't imagine something worse for a reader than having the author disappear right on the fucking climax of a fucking slow burn.
And I don't know what is worse in ao3: tagging the dumbest most irrevelant shit with cannonical tags or not tagging anything beyond main characters. At least put the genre and main narrative points in it ffs.

i ship several characters together in haikyuu, like four ships.

>what kind of fanfiction do you tend to gravitate towards?one-shots and smut in the 2k to 15k range. i don't have the energy to read super long fics anymore – they just don't hold my attention like they used to. my favorite fics are usually PWPs or porn that somehow serves as a character study. i never read anything below an M rating unless a friend directly recs it to me. also, i dislike AUs.
>have you ever written fanfiction?yes! i've only just recently gotten back into it, but it's super fun and i've met a lot of interesting people. i published around six fics last year and one so far this year. i have an ungodly amount of WIPs.
>how frequently do you read/write fan fiction? read: daily.
write: at least five times a week, even if it's only opening a google doc and changing a sentence.
>whats the weirdest fan fiction youve written and or read? nothing is "weird" to me. most of it is fair game. today, i read a fic where the P5 protagonist was lactating, so, that's something, i guess.
>what fandoms tend to have the best and or worst fan fics? harry potter has the best fics. i'm not sure about the worst.

Long-time fanfic appreciator, aspiring fanfic writer.
I hope it's OK to ask for a little advice here. I want to start writing fanfiction but I'm not very good at creative writing. The problem I'm having is getting into the mind of characters and writing exposition that isn't cringey or pointless. Is anybody willing to share some tips for beginners? Thank you.

I've never felt so depressed about the loss of a fic in such a long time, I hope they come back has anyone else experienced this?
No. 128378
>>128372Yes and it's why I rarely read fics that are still in progress. I've been burned way too many times by authors abandoning their work.
But if you're interested in rereading that particular chapter, I suggest you try your luck with Wayback Machine. It's how I read some deleted work.
No. 128402
>>128372ouch i feel for you, these days when i finish reading a fic and enjoyed it, i download it even if its still in progress. i wouldnt repost them anywhere, its really just to avoid that feeling of scrolling thru my bookmarks/history and seeing all the deleted fics and not remembering what they might have been.
for real though, being interested in some tiny fandom/ship where, if any fics appear at all, the few are okay but obviously nothing i'd come back to and then coming accross one that's written really well, with a good plot and great understanding of the characters and seeing it's been abandoned… the pain of a lost potential i guess

I don't write but I'm trying my first fanfic bc I can't stop thinking about a recent husbando I've acquired (thank you based husbando thread). There's so much stuff to be explored that could fit in with the game's canon story and since there aren't very many xReader fics with him in, I guess I'll be the one to create more! I am thirsty and I'm sure others are too!
I might even start playing the game because I like him so much and surprisingly the lore is pretty good. How and why a MOBA has such an expansive universe, I may never know.. .. but I am happy it does even if I end up hating the game.

Almost every single fanfic my hipster ass read in the last year has been on LJ and Library of Moria / webarchived author websites, written by weirdo 35-50 year old women in like 2006.
And let me tell you, it’s all so fucking good. These protofujo elders don’t fuck around, the quality is almost consistently extremely high, great plots, surprisingly in character for slashfic. Plus they would all visit eachother and be friends IRL (and most seem to still be friends today). Honestly it looks like they had a shit ton of fun.
Only thing that sucks is that their fetishes were pretty fuckin weird, and unfinished fics are obviously never going to be updated, since they were started when I was in middle school.

I hate 90% of AU fics.
I could understand doing an AU for characters from a slice of life sitcom or something like that… But I usually am into fandoms with a lot of sci-fi cool shit and I like those things mostly because of their cool setting.
Why would I wanna read a medieval werewolf hunting version of the story that loses like 70% of its original elements (that are essential to it's plot) and all that is left of the characters is their name? I hate it so much, if I wanted to read about a universe that different from the one I like I'd read a new book, not fanfic.
I understand wanting to have fun with the characters, but sometimes it just strays away from the source material too much. Just because it can work and look cute for one off concept illustrations, doesn't mean it for entire stories.
I guess my favorite type of fanfic is either those that happen in between real events of the canon or just slightly corrupting the original canon in a clever way or for inserting porn
Also I hate reading fanfics the size of the Les Miserables novel.
Oneshot masterrace.
No. 128699
>>128697In some cases AUs are less intended as stories to be read and more as writing exercises for authors. While I enjoy reading them occasionally, I also tend towards more canon-based setups, albeit usually with some serious divergences to keep me interested. I like to see how far canon can be twisted while still remaining recognizable.
I had to look up the wordcount for Les Mis: 655, 478 in the original French and yeah that's excessive. I'm totally fine with wordcounts as high as 300k though, for single fics or series, provided everything is well plotted and paced. Stories that long can easily drag.
No. 128700
>>116674THANK YOU.
I started reading a friends-to-enemies slowburn and I fell in love with it, thinking the characters were just awkward and couldn't come to terms with their feelings; then in chapter 30 one of them goes "I'm not cis-gender. And I'm autistic."
Bitch, where?? Where was THIS internal struggle? I read 30+ chapters and not once did this character have an inkling of inner turmoil or recognition regarding their own identity or disorder. WHAT.
No. 128701
>>128697Do you read a lot of fic or is it just an occasional thing for you? It seems like people who dislike AUs don't consume much fic and only read it when they have a real craving for continuation of canon. That's fair enough but people who are really into fic as a hobby get bored of reading or writing the same universe all the time and most of the love is for the characters, not the setting or plot. For readers who just want self indulgent romance it's fine if it's basically an original work that borrows character's names and likeness without the rest of the canon, they just want something cute or smutty to chill out with.
I couldn't care less how a story relates to canon because I simply like to read romance, and fic is super accessible romance that features characters you already find appealing from the start. Even if it's very different from canon, even if the characters are OOC, I'll enjoy it for what it is and just picture the characters for a visual reference.

Did anyone else first get into fanfics as an extension of RPing on sites like GaiaOnline and LJ? Sometimes I miss the RP scene, it's like a creative writing exercise in its own way. Does anyone still do RP sessions or is that too cringe these days kek

>>16434>whens the last Time youve read fanfiction?I read a spec script for What We Do in the Shadows because of the long hiatus, and reading good spec scripts feels like watching a real episode.
>what kind of fanfiction do you tend to gravitate towardsBasically whatever I wish I could watch more of that I liked on TV. When I run out of a show, I crave more of it. Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul. I am not really interested in shipping. What draws me to a fic is if it feels like I’m watching the show when I’m reading it.
>have you ever written fanfiction?Yes. I once wrote a few chapters of an Always Sunny fic that I thought was pretty decent but then I started to overthink it and I abandoned it. I also started plotting out a post-Breaking Bad story about Jesse’s new life, but I didn’t develop it past the outline phase.
I only just recently published my first completed fanfic on AO3 and it was a crack fic shipping Rich Evans (of redlettermedia) with Julia Roberts. I don’t know if that really counts though, because it was sort of a troll fic.
>how frequently do you read/write fan fiction?Rarely but there are times when I find extremely high quality fics and dive into them for short bursts.
>whats the weirdest fan fiction youve written and or read?The Julia Roberts Rich Evans fic I wrote on Valentine’s Day a few days ago was pretty weird. As for fics I’ve read, I’m honestly kind of a wimp. I tap out if a fic gets weird and doesn’t fit the vibe of its source material to a T.
>what fandoms tend to have the best and or worst fan fics?I am not sure. I’m sure horrible shows have even worse fic. I can imagine a show like Big Bang Theory, How I Met Your Mother, and Family Guy having extremely cursed fic.

>>128700God it's awful when this happens. I don't know how to explain it but it feels like a betrayal or as if someone suddenly hit me with a frying pan whenever it turns out one of the main characters was trans all along and it wasn't in the tags. I deliberately blacklist trans related and some gender specific tags and it takes me minutes to blacklist them all whenever trying to find interesting stories. And when I find an interesting fic and suddenly in the middle of it there's vaginas or dicks where they don't belong without any warning or hints whatsoever feels so gross and annoying. Fucking tag that shit.
>>128672>>128673Agreed. I mean if you're writing about rape, incest and other gross shit at least own it. None of these woke people are reading your weird torture rape fics, and if they do they were deliberately looking for them, so there's no need to sugar coat.

>>128707I’m reading entirely LoTR fic (a fandom that had its heyday like 20 years ago) and since this was pre-Ao3, nobody wanted to put their fics on fanfiction.net where the overall quality was so low so people liked to put their own fic on their personal LJ
So I started with a pairing or character I liked, and then I’d read someone’s work, and they’d usually link to their favorite writers so then I’d go read that persons work, and so on, and most of it was still around which is nice. People often created entire lists of well written fic recs and author websites and promoted the shit out of each other.
I think LoTR wasn’t the easiest fandom to write for, it’s not modern so you can’t slap generic or self insert personalities and call it a day, you had to keep in mind the way they talked, the setting, Shirefic had to work with that culture, Gondor fic an entirely different one. And since Tolkien left a ton of world building, there wasn’t any reason not to.
And that concludes my field report from the past
the Fujoshit Middle Ages if you will.
No. 128729
>>128725true but from the ones i've read, they were usually ambiguous in terms of physical appearances. unless stated otherwise from the header of the fanfic, the reader can have interpretations to how they look like in story. i guess, i have read ones that were well-written or in a sense have really followed the y/n or reader insert formula seriously.
ah, i get your point with the gender neutral reader fic, but i never bother reading y/n smutfics so i don't have a lot of an opinion to that topic, usually skimming through the scene but it's so weird not knowing how the canon character, usually male, do the deed if the only description to the sex organ of y/n is term as hole.

hate AUs. i enjoy the characters for what they are, and that includes their canon plot and setting. remove that, and i find that the characters often become OOC – their experiences create their personality and relationships. without that, they're just two hot dudes in a writer's original setting (which is fine, but it doesn't scratch my personal itch). there's
infinite possibilities for fanfic without delving into AU territory. of course, this probably depends on what fandom you're in. i'm just really tired of trying to talk about fic with people in my fandom and getting ignored for random naga AUs. like, what?

m/m slow burn, or angsty fics with 150+k words in general. if i just want porn ill find porn but i like porn with plot, so if it exists, i'd choose that over a single chapter fic
>have you ever written fanfiction?
once. never again.
>how frequently do you read/write fan fiction?
i go through bursts of nonstop reading, and then not reading anything for a few months
>whats the weirdest fan fiction youve written and/or read?
tied between a character masturbating their cloaca with the handle of a hair brush (not an animal if that makes you feel better) and a teenaged girl fucking an actual, barely sentient turtle while other actual, barely sentient turtles watched. also her house was on fire. both of these were yeeeeeaaaars ago and are from the same fandom. if you know you know
>what fandoms tend to have the best and or worst fan fics?
best: currently popular anime and video games with actual humans with personalities in them (like final fantasy and SDV, versus minecraft & among us). it's rare for a tv show with real actors to have good fanfiction regularly imo/e.
worst: kpop and irl shipping in general. fandoms that have existed for way too long without new content (ex. harry potter, mlp, supernatural. yes i know they were airing up until last year but has anything new /really/ happened in supernatural since, like, 2012? has it?)
also i really overthought this stupid tier list thing and still probably listed stuff poorly. all you gotta take away from it is that i love fics where a character is in love with another from a previous life while the one theyre in love with has no recollection of it (a la kawoshin), and hate ABO with a passion. it's inescapable.

>>150085Sounds like you need to filter more strictly. Ao3 has a good search function, you can limit it to only completed stories, exclude tags like AU, exclude crossovers etc. I also make it > a certain number of kudos to avoid truly awful writing. For tags I like a lot I bookmark the search results so I can check it quickly.
I wish there was a way to filter out stories with more than, say, 20 tags. There is a definite inverse correlation between tag quantity and writing quality.
No. 150118
>>150094ngl I’m a spoiled brat and wish you didn’t have to filter so heavily now. It used to be that Ao3 was where the old school BNFs backed their shit up, so you could reasonably vouch for the quality of most of the writing. I’m not against (as an example) wacky crossovers in and of themselves, but as you say there are certain things that are inversely correlated with the quality of the fic.

No. 150121
>>149523I used to read a ton of m/m ships back in the day, and it was partly because that's the direction most fandom went in (which became a feedback loop). Most of the ships I like now are m/f or f/f and the erotica is palatable to me now, I think it was the female element that was missing. (f/f smut can be occasionally hit or miss, though, especially with kweer shit).
I think though overall my tastes in fanfic have changed for the better. More women, lol. That, and most m/m erotica is not really realistic at all to the way gay men have sex and is written by female virgins.
No. 150124
>>150121Why would you want to read realistic gay sex? It's unrelatable to female readers and frankly, potentially very gross. I'm all for women writing a fantasy version of sex that is more palatable to their audience, it's not like they're going to participate in gay sex and force those unrealistic expectations on anyone. And as far as I'm concerned, all fanfic takes place in an AU where assholes are not part of the digestive system.
I do wish there were fewer obvious virgin writers though, experience with an actual penis would help. So many of them think cum is sticky?
No. 150129
>>150124I mean, if it has no correspondence with reality (at least in the sense of emotional versimilitude), what's the point of reading it? I'm not interested in fantastical womenmen, which is how m/m is often written.
I would simply rather read stories about women.

>>149523I used to read m/m smut only and was disassociated from my body. Once I gained more comfort with myself and my gender I now can barely stand m/m sex scenes. Definitely it's like "why am I reading about a type of sex that doesn't involve my body nor can I relate to?" I now prefer m/f for smut. I still enjoy m/m for the plots though and relationship dynamics.
Also reconciled my discomfort with female characters and het dynamics. I realized that in fanfic it's an imaginary ideal world where I can enjoy it without harm or the effects of misogyny in my life being a concern. Especially since it's written by women, even the questionable ones are by women where everything goes as the author wants or else they wouldn't have written it. It's freeing, not to sound cheesy.

>whats the weirdest fan fiction youve written and or read? I've been in so many fandoms and sifted through so much garbage, it's hard to say. The weirdest fic I've enjoyed was probably a Homestuck one from years ago where all the characters were like… bird people. If you were there, you probably know the fic I'm talking about, it was really popular.
>what fandoms tend to have the best and or worst fan fics? There's a lot of really good Stranger Things fic (more specifically Harringrove, I haven't read much fic for other pairings.) Black Sails also has some pretty solid fic.
Fanfic of real people is just creepy and horrible as a concept, but those fics tend to be awful writing-wise as well. Whenever I see fics like those in the wild by accidentally clicking on the wrong tag, they've got weird bullshit like mpreg or adult babies. Haven't actually read those fics obviously, so I can't comment on the quality of the writing.
Not a fandom, but fics that make characters troons or give them a disability they don't have in canon are cringe. They used to be really common in the Homestuck fandom back when it was popular. I swear you could fill the Library of Congress with fics where Dave Strider is trans, mute, blind, deaf, or some other ailment. To this day I blame Homestuck for the popularity of tranny headcanons; it truly was the first fandom where you saw that nonsense en-masse. Also like

i think it is well writen, not ooc, but the narrator/MC is a millenial shitposter so it may not suit everyone's taste. it's very long atm, but easy to ready.
i usually skip gen because it's usually for selfinserts and snowflake ocs (~promise is not a marysue, she is so clumsy, see, not perfect~), OOC, shameless character bashing, predictable fixit plots, and woke talking points (it's fantasy ffs, noone speaks tumblr).
i don't find these flaws in this fic, and the ocs and plot deviations make the world seem bigger and 3D.

>what kind of fanfiction do you tend to gravitate towards
M/M, under 5000 words, dumb tooth-rotting fluff is my go-to comfort read. Also the occasional smut treat when I'm in the mood, but only vanilla porn with feelings. Yeah I'm a simple girl who likes simple things. Then there's the long emotional fics which got me so invested, some of them I'll remember forever. Also I used to read tons of (bad) reader insert but now I prefer daydreaming to fill the void kek.
>have you ever written fanfiction?
Cringy shit sometimes when I was a teen, and more recently I tried again with my sister's OCs but depression and stuff made me drop it.
>how frequently do you read/write fan fiction?
Write: never
Read: depends, I go from reading litteraly nothing for monthes to binge reading like theres no tomorrow kek. I usually calm down when I dont really actively ship the pairing anymore, or I don't have time/motivation. Also I prefer reading in the evening or later when I'm comfy at home and know I have some time ahead, otherwise I just can't get into it unless I REALLY need that fluff fix.
>whats the weirdest fan fiction youve written and or read?
p*do or kink stuff when i was a kid myself and didn't know any better. Also crack stuff like Julius Caesar x cesar salad or politician x reader but that's bc i have weird humor.
>what fandoms tend to have the best and or worst fan fics?
To this day i havent been into a lot of fandoms so I can't tell really. The good thing with big fandoms/ships is that you'll always have smthing to read BUT you gotta tag carefully and skim thru endless cringe of ddlg, abo, mpreg (no judgement but this just ain't m'y shit), troon shit etc to find the good stuff. Like rn Good Omens keeps me alive but with the woke gender special pandering I have to dig to find decent reads.

>>168051i've thought about this aswell, i find the most popular fics to always have the most milquetoast, cringey, unrealistically happy and sappy plots - in other words what's typical for fanfiction.
on a slightly different note, i completely understand the appeal of cliché fanfiction, but personally i find it so grating to read through painfree m/m or f/f stories wherein all the side characters are shipped gay as well. it's just not realistic. that's why i prefer darker fics with unrequited love and sad endings. i just feel like anyone that ever experienced same sex attraction would know it's often a lonely and depressing experience rather than a miraculously happy one, which is often the case in any gay fanfic. i understand it's a way for a lot of people to live out their fantasies though so no hate.

i love ao3 tag system, and if i could block tags permanently it would be perfect, but lately it has shown me cursed content
one of my guilty pleasures is de-aging fics: 1 or more characters revert to children (body and mind) due to magic or crazy lab ray or wtv, hijinks ensue. it's cringe, but it makes cute fluffy fics for a short and light read. but the canon ao3 tag is de-aging AND age regression aka adults acting like children (due to trauma?), and little space, sometimes all ages, but sometimes explicit, and diapers.
why would tag wranglers mix an all-ages crack prompt with fetish content?

>>168197 said.
>plus it's really obvious when the female characters get paired up only so they don't get in the way of the male characters' relationships.god this is so true. it's like some can't handle letting a straight female character simply be rejected, or let a gay male character be rejected by his straight love interest.

I know this is retarded but I'm frustrated.
I hate how the old fandoms I used to read fics are now full of uwu gender speshuls and very delicate people. There are like two extremes, but they're the same coin: found family garbage where everyone is happy and gay for some reason and very understanding and they all talk like little kids; and then there is some really weird "problematic" nasty shit that gets even the villains wrong and ooc, yet that shit still manages to be very speshul. Then you have a variety of crap to filter like surprise untagged tranny, or when your pairing is tagged in a fic but they get like 2 sentences and that's it, they're never seen again, like, why tag that shit, dude? Why tag every fucking pairing in your fucking 300k fic that has basically the entire cast of the fucking series when they get two fucking lines? I now completely ignore fics that have hundreds of characters tagged, and the author if all their insecurities are also in the tags
Navigating through fics seem so much more exhausting these days even with that tag system because people don't fucking use it right. If I see 1 more cervix penetration in a fucking m/m fic or big cock/large cock/girl cock in a fic where the main pairing should be two women I'm gonna scream.. also I hate how obvious it is when they put two women together just so they can get out of the way of the perfect superior yaoi pairing, give me a fucking break, just don't fucking put them there then!
I already exhausted the good fics of the one straight pairing I was into recently, even read weird fics with them and one where the guy was with someone that made absolutely no sense and shit was weird as hell but ok, it was nicely written even if it was too soft for me, but I got a lot less shitty stuff to go through, I believe it's cus most writers of this ship are women that aren't ashamed of liking straight shit? And maybe they're also past their 20s. Anyway, now I guess I'm back to m/m because most of the shit I consume is a sausage party but I'm tired of this crap. I wish I had new interests so I would never have to look again at my old fandoms but it's been so hard to get into new stuff

I don't go reading fanfic anymore, but I'm seriously considering writing it. It's weird to think about, but I think most of the good content in fandoms has always come from the older adults, and as teens and young adults we just never really knew their age or thought about it kek.

I noticed that after years of no new content fans strive away further and further from canon and rarely in a good way.
Otherwise I would just say that it's less a question about fandom and more of a question about pairings or sub-groups of fans. I personally dislike fics and fans that sissify male characters.
