I'm seriously thinking about removing ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
bottom_draco and hpstoryfinders from my friend list and de-friending them.
For Bottom_D, every single story is H/D, without fail. I thought it was supposed to be about variety and creativity! Sure, it's a popular pairing. Sure there's no accounting for the people that join posting what they just happen to like. But Jesus, it's like nobody wants to post a thing that isn't H/D. There are plenty of other pairings to resort to, my OTP (Ron Draco forever, a-ha-men) excluded. Oliver/Draco? Percy/Draco? Twins/Draco! Snape/Draco, even! Where the fuck is the Snape/Draco? Oh, right- coupled with H/D.
I'm seriously starting to despise that pairing- the 90's 4Kids DragonBall Z of fanfiction. By that, I mean back in the day when there was no anime on basic cable and all of the poor would-be weeaboos had no choice but to sate themselves on DragonBall Z until they could get down to a store for a decent bootleg. Either that or pay up to forty dollars for a video tape from FYI or Best Buy (GET OFF MY LAWN!).
Storyfinders is sort of the same. Joined it because I (stupidly) thought that people would be looking for interesting stories and commenting with links. Most of the requests, though, go unanswered and most of the requests are... well...
Hi i'm looking for a fic that was centered on another couple but Draco and charlie was in it and charlie gave draco a necklace that bound him to charlie, Draco can't resist things that has a dragon name or from a dragon. I think it was SS/Hp.
HP/SS main pairing with LM/HP non con scene.
Severus gets a divorce from his wife who is a vampire.
Harry is bitten by a vampire which proves poisonous to the vampire and Severus saves him.
Unedited.
Same reason I eventually stopped looking at HP Chan. There were two good fics- Uncle Lucius and "A Want and a Need", the latter of which was removed after some people through an epic fit over Ron being underaged and having a clothespin briefly on his...
The Fandom's stagnating. All that'll be left in a few years will be SS/HP, SS/HG, and R/HR. How I miss the golden days of fanfiction.
But I'm just being pessimistic and annoyed. There are still plenty of communities out there where the same old is not permitted. I just have to find it.

Date: Sunday, November 15th, 2009 09:02 pm (UTC)From:i was bitching just earlier today about dying!fandom, i saw a comm i liked the mod was requesting someone take her place as she was loosing interest in fandom. i was like 0.0 BITCH-WOT? but there's a good new mod, and everything's cool.
my key is to like a shitload of pairings, so no matter what i can find a comm with a new fic i like. that's not helpful though, if you've got an OTP you've got an OTP. *hugs*

Date: Sunday, November 15th, 2009 09:08 pm (UTC)From:I do try to like as may pairings as possible. The problem is... I just can't bring myself to like them! Harry bores me to death... unless he's with Ron, I guess. I've even resorted to reading H/Hr (when I need to remind myself how straight sex works) for the sake of variety. ... It's actually not that bad. *nods*
