  1. Fandoms you'd like to see more fanfiction for?

    Even Harry Potter honestly didn't have an insane amount of fanfic until Goblet of Fire (the first book in the series that one could call YA) and the first film came out nearly back to back in 2000/2001! Its fanfic exploded in the early 00s as the films were coming out and release gaps between...

  2. Fandoms you'd like to see more fanfiction for?

    Old post I know, but this is something I think a lot about. I've come to the conclusion that it's not actually about whether a book is good or bad (unlike earlier suggested reasons for this). Rather, books with no visual medium adaptation just don't get fanfics to any appreciable extent, unless...

  3. What are your most hated fanfic tropes

    That's what happened with me and Ron Weasley. Never really cared about him one way or another, but revisited the books with an open mind and was struck by how he's actually a pretty absurdly good friend. Also quite perceptive at times. Also pretty much guaranteed to have been the best looking of...

  4. Moderator Applications - 2025 Edition

    I only recognize one of the names, which is probably a good thing. A moderator, like basically any other form of servant, should generally be unobtrusive and unnoticed except when they're needed.

  5. What are your most hated fanfic tropes

    Oh man, I normally try to avoid posting extremely fandom-specific fanfic tropes in this thread, but yeah. First off there's the issue that a single sufficiently determined and psychopathic wizard 18 year old could end Muggle civilization in under a week, unless stopped by other magicals, if he's...

  6. What are your most hated fanfic tropes

    Yeah typically a first chapter like that adds pretty much nothing of value to the narrative, and may as well be skipped. It's ok in Youjo Senki because it has a meaningful impact on the characterization of the protagonist and overall themes of the story, and it could be interesting in a story...

  7. What are your most hated fanfic tropes

    There's a reason I posted in this thread, not a QQ specific one! It's an issue endemic to fanfic and fanfic discussion as a whole, pretty much everywhere I've encountered it (FFN, AO3, SB, SV, QQ, etc.). If anything, weirdly enough, the issue might be slightly less prevalent here than on the...

  8. What are your most hated fanfic tropes

    I feel like I see this mainly in two places: - Fate fics, where for better or for worse it's an established meme in official material since F/SN itself, just gradually flanderized. - Waifu Catalog fics, where supernaturally good cooking is one of the cheapest brainwashing options, and a 'mild'...

  9. What are your most hated fanfic tropes

    I swear it feels like most fanfic readers and authors have never had a genuine friendship in their lives. The moment an ounce of meaningful emotional intimacy appears between two characters, readers insist on wanting it to be romantic/sexual, even if one or both characters have a...

  10. What are your most hated fanfic tropes

    Well if you want to expand it to fanfic tropes in general, there's always "When an insert fic conveniently has every character the author likes become a friend or big fan of the insert, even if they wouldn't typically have compatible personalities, and even if those characters are deeply opposed...

  11. What are your most hated fanfic tropes

    Well, let's be honest, most of those Taylor fics are AltPersonality Taylor as well. It's just that the replacement personality is typically boring as hell, generic-quest-protagonist tier. I get why many Greg fics are Greg in name only or a very softened version of him, to be honest. One fic...

  12. What are your most hated fanfic tropes

    I don't particularly hate it, but I am sort of tired of it being the default: Main character who, despite being well suited to it and it being arguably the best way of dealing with several of the problems they (or those they care about) face, actively avoids any position of power. The "ugh I...

  13. A Sociopath on this World. [Class of 09 x Konosuba]

    Amazing, this is like reverse of the typical insert. I don't think I've ever seen Wiz summarily smited like this. There are women's rights-y fics, there are men's rights-y fics, but this is a women's wrongs fic.

  14. A Sociopath on this World. [Class of 09 x Konosuba]

    "A work of fan fiction that is conceptually absurd, surprising or ridiculous, often intentionally" is basically what I mean. The lines can be blurry but I think "Hey what if we threw the ridiculously toxic late-00s teenage girl characters from a black comedy VN into Konosuba and had them bully...

  15. A Sociopath on this World. [Class of 09 x Konosuba]

    The isekai genre has its share of shitty people as protagonists, but they all tend to be cut from the same cloth. This may be crackfic, but it's genuinely nice to have a different kind of shitbag in that role.
