I feel like we have this conversation any time someone brings up Sid/Nate, but I will say it again: I think a lot of people just aren't interested in Nate, specifically. I have a million and one Sid pairings I like. Sid/Nate just isn't one of them. If you want reasons, there's the significant age difference plus the fact that I just don't find Mackinnon attractive plus no relationship dynamics that interest me. And other people speaking up have said the same in the past.

Oflights might be a little different than most just because she was one of the most prolific S/G authors for a long time, but in general when I've seen S/G authors write other pairings involving one or the other character, nobody's given them that much grief. Nobody got pissed (that I know of?) when thehoyden wrote Sid/Jack for an exchange last year, for example.

That explains why people are indifferent to Sid/Nate, which frankly, doesn't need a lot of explanation, it's not a pairing that I would ever have expected to become popular anyways (whereas other ones, I wonder why they didn't take off). Also, I don't think any other popular S/G authors who've written other pairings have given indications that they won't write S/G anymore (or don't even care about the pairing and/or Geno, fans seem really worked up about not just the fic output but oflights' opinions/investments). It's always been obvious that S/G is still thehoyden's main pairing, and same with others I can think of.
