What are your unpopular fanfiction opinions??

[peeweeallen]

I just realized that I don't usually look at titles when I'm looking for fanfics. I look at the summary, skim the relationship tags, and then I decide if I want to read it or not.

Watching this video is basically going from: "I can agree with that" to "I'm going to throw you off a cliff" within a moments notice and I love it.

[HaldjasHelina]

It's somehow so reassuring to hear not everyone hates unfinished fics...

[Mx.muffin]

Here's one thing I want everyone to know: FANFICTION IS SUPPOSED TO BE INDULGENT!

Write anything you want! Write multiple genres, write one genre, write as many romances as you want, write purely platonic ships, write dark angsty stuff, write toothaching fluff, it doesn't matter! What matters is if *you* like it or not

[EveryDayALittleDeath]

Slowburns are a hit or miss tag for me. If it's a slowburn because the feelings take time to develop, that's my freaking jam. If it's a slowburn because they just don't know how to say "I like you" it drives me up the wall.

I think this is a hot take, but short characters are not always children, or "child-coded". Short adults exist.
While not exclusive to fanfiction, it is something I see too often in fanfiction, and fandom as a whole.
Justice for short kings.

My hot take: People take fanfic wayyy too seriously. Some people out here saying how only reading finished fanfiction is bad or how themes in fanfic can be harmful. Like…. Y’all. This is for fun for most of us, and everyone has their preferences on how they like to read and what they like to read!!

my unpopular opinion: i love reading unfinished fics at night. imagining the ending of the stories in my head to make me sleep is basically my night routine now

[MsSasoDei]

Honestly, I don't think it's a bad thing if an original story sounds "fanfiction-y". It's fun! Even in an original story with original characters

[apfel]

Honestly, any preference in fanfic I had dies the second I get into a small fandom. I will take anything that isn't completely off-putting for me.

I think people that say fanfiction can never be as good as books just haven't read any good fanfics yet, because I can certainly say that's not the case

[nerdy]

Unpopular opinion: Dead Dove Do Not Eat, as controversial as it is, deserves a place in the fanfiction community. Sometimes it scratches an itch in the back of your brain like.

[cloudninemb]

I love chat fics, they can be so funny. I don't read them if the characters are too out of character though.

[honeycrickete]

If you don't like the fanfic, don't read it. Don't leave a mean comment, or tear down the author, just leave.

My unpopular fanfic opinion:

Parenthood tag is a hit or miss

[probugeater]

I LOVE the "Oh. _Oh?_ " thing SO MUCH when it's used effectively like when it's the turning point where the penny drops for the character regarding a major event it has me screaming and kicking my feet and giggling excitedly!!!!

[chosoistryinghisbest]

there's something so enticing about a one shot that's 25k words than a 25k worded fic that's 10 chapters long. i don't know why but it's so much more enticing for me to read that oneshot

[trash]

Hot take: I think a writer should be able to update whenever they want. They shouldn't need to have an update schedule. If you wanna update once a week, great. If you don't have time to update until months later, that's also fine. Fanfic is about enjoying the source material so much that YOU want to write something.

Fanfiction is not a transaction.

[Mindless_entertainmenr]

We NEED more platonic stories!!! I want a story about two characters being friends, having adventures or casual days, I want to read about them hanging out, I want to read about them loving each other PLATONICALLY!!!
