Re: Fandom Venting
From: (Anonymous)Just checking, but you mean that Sid/Geno isn't your OTP here, right? Because yeah, that's fair. I wish everyone could have all the fic for their OTP, containing all their preferred tropes, that their heart desires.
Before I started coming on here, I never really noticed that Sid/Geno fic was particularly OOC or cliche, or any of the myriad other complaints people seem to have. That's not to say none of those complaints are valid, but they never bothered me because I guess I was too thrilled about 40k+ fic devoted to my OTP!
I still really don't understand a lot of OOC arguments actually. As long as the author makes their case for a characterization within the context of the fic, it works for me.
I hope someone writes some really great, epic fic for your OTP, nonnie.
Re: Fandom Venting
From: (Anonymous)Yes, my OTP is not Sid/Geno. I realized that was a awkwardly worded sentence later but decided to just let it be. There actually have been a couple of long fics for my OTP so I know I'm luckier than some rare pair fans, but the writer of them seems to have drifted either away from the pairing or out of the fandom all together. However, other people are stepping in so there's still hope. :D
The main OOC complaint I have with Sid/Geno fic is Sid the hockeybot who doesn't understand humans/emotions/sexuality, but that seems to be less popular these days, thank goodness. It just never made sense to me because he wasn't raised on a frozen pond by wolves, you know? He has been around other human beings his entire life and he's not that awkward.

Except you know what? I would read that so hard.
Re: Fandom Venting
From: (Anonymous)I totally would too. Or raised by bears. Moose. Whatever.

From: (Anonymous)Re: Fandom Venting
From: (Anonymous)Yes, I know. Anon I was talking to mentioned not really getting the OOC etc complaints and so I talked about the only one that I had (back when I read the pairing). I meant to use past tense but mistakenly used present tense. I'm not trying to start or rehash any old wank.
