My personal rant is the fucking Modern AU. The fandom I'm most likely to read at the moment is Game of Thrones/A Song of Ice and Fire (the sourece books), and Every Fucking Author writes Modern AU. And I just don't get it. The universe is the whole damn point of the thing. The characters are so profoundly of their world that they cease to be themselves in significant ways if you move them to a modern setting.
That is my rant.
Unless Jules or Gus are involved, 99% of Shawn/Lassie is gonna be OOC like whoa.
Shawn and Gus, on the other hand, are basically the most married.
Those drive me crazy, Debet.
Debet I keep seeing those too and I don't get it. At all.
PMM- I figured they were pretty OOC. But since I'm mostly reading it for the fanon I'm okay with it.
Hawaii 5-0 is another show I started watching because of the fic (I browse tags a lot in AO3 looking for things with a lot of kudos or bookmarks or hits and if it's a particular thing I'll read almost any fandom just to get a story). H50 is not my favoritest show but I'm on the second disc and people comment about Steve and Danny being married quite a bit. Plus I like Kono. I haven't watched enough but I figure most of what I'm reading is OOC for them as well.
My personal rant is the fucking Modern AU
Penny Dreadful modern coffee shop AU. I just tilt my head at the description like an epically confused golden retriever. WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?
I read Steve/Tony and Clint/Coulson, because of Scifigrl47. It is all her fault.
My hardcore, kill-it-with-fire NOTP is Waycest in bandom. GERARD AND MIKEY ARE NOT THOSE SORTS OF BROTHERS.
I think a lot of it is that it's far easier to write. I have a bunny that I've been putting on paper just to get it out of my head, and the non-modern details are a BITCH, especially in a realisticish-but-not-real world, where I'm pretty sure the author is making stuff up and simplifying a lot from historical sources in his worldbuilding.
I'm still trying to figure out if I want to try alpha/beta/omega stuff. It's out there, there's not stopping it. I don't know any of the good stuff, I don't know if that's something I'd be interested in. I read the descriptions and some of them sound good, but I'm not really fond of mpreg so there's that.
Some of it is uncomfortably hot. Especially the stuff in Sherlock fandom. I, err, may have read a lot of it.
Not so big on it elsewhere, but Ihey, in a pinch, and especially if I need skeevy consent issues.
