My AO3 is loquaciouslass (http://archiveofourown.org/users/loquaciouslass)! And my genre at the moment is smutty crackfics because I read one too many fandom discourses and it annoyed me to the point of smut writing. So...thank you...discoursers?
Seriously though, I'd love to like...do a study on how fandom popularises particular fics. Because I feel like you're right, a lot of popular fics do have the Dubious Scene (or alternatively, the rape scene followed by partner comfort in the new version of 'this person gets in the way of my OTP)? Smut's a funny old bag because it seems like a lot of people are very...tight around it recently, but there seems to be a massive focus on 'cleaning it up'. Aah...I miss being able to have long convos about fics. A lot of people I know now don't read many and it sucks :/
I wonder how all the factors came together to a) put an end to discussion and b) make commenting on fics or posts a 'bad thing'. It's definitely made me want to write less fic that goes out there. It's a wonder I managed smut at all.
