[APH] Fandom grumping
Feb. 21st, 2019 10:09 amMan... sifting through Hetalia fanfic just reminds me of one of the reasons I faded out of this fandom in the first place.
I can't stand AUs, human names, or epithets, especially nationality-based epithets. I never read work that contains these things - except in the rare case when it's part of an event that I'm in. I'd ban AUs from my upcoming fest if I didn't know I would be shooting myself in the foot by doing so.
The new Ao3 exclusion filters help a bit, but there's so much untagged stuff that it only gets rid of a fraction of it.
SSSS fandom has its faults, and compared to APH it's super small, but one of the things I'm grateful for is that a lot of the fic is at least partly canon-based, and the majority of it is written in a way that I don't find obnoxious.
