Surely I'm not the only person who composes an LJ comment backwards? :))
I don't write. I don't LIKE to write. Yeah, my post from the other day was me bitching, but it's not that I dislike any one particular fic so much as I am geniunely curious as to why a certain type of fic isn't really recced as much anymore. And I just get tired of seeing the same thing over and over. The solution for me is not to just "write it" cause I don't write. But I'm sure someone has, so I'm looking for it.
But I agree with your idea that you should write what you want. Just cause I (or random John and Jane Doe) don't like X type of fic certainly doesn't preclude anyone from writing what they are comfortable with, nor does it mean that every single fic of that certain "disliked" type is automatically shit to me (or whomever). There's an audience for just about everything under the sun.
