Re: cwm's fic
(Anonymous) 2016-07-19 01:58 pm (UTC)(link)I didn't care for cwm's fic (I don't think I ever managed to finish one of them), but some of my favorite rereads in old fandoms, ones I have saved to my kindle and treat like old friends, are fics that I would, if pressed, admit are not actually really very good. In fact some of them are really not good at all. Others are good in some ways but have so many goddamn issues I wouldn't be able to rec them without a whole shitton of caveats attached (I may or may not have both HP's The Sacrifices Arc and AtLA's Embers on there, which, woo boy).
It's like the fact that I still have a shelf full of old Mercedes Lackey and Anne McCaffrey books. Some of it's nostalgia, but a lot of it's just the fact that it's not always the stuff that's actually good that sticks in your head and you're still thinking about years later. In fact, frequently, it's mostly just the stuff that hit your id in just the right spot.
Re: cwm's fic
(Anonymous) 2016-07-19 05:45 pm (UTC)(link)Agreed, and with cwm specifically, it was that she could be relied upon to write long fic, write and publish frequently, write competent prose, and write fic that, while trope-y and predictable, tended to have a lot of different kinds of conflict and tension and just, notes that aren't often hit in S/G fic. Even if her fic wasn't good in some ways, I don't think fandom sheeple's collective memories have been fooled by time and circumstance into thinking it was something it's not. People who liked cwm know what they like, and it's easy to want it even more now that it's not there and no one has stepped into cwm's niche, and you might be reminded of that every time you refresh AO3 and there's nothing to read.
