Re: Are we really that bad?
(Anonymous) 2012-07-09 09:32 pm (UTC)(link)I think fandom has, for the most part. Meme still bitches about BLoD and Fetters might be brought up in rec lists, but it's almost because it's comfortable at this point. Like a worn out shirt that's stretched and cozy.
I don't see either LL or FF discussed much anymore though, just in general. I don't follow a lot of general comms but I can't remember too many storyfinder posts for either of them.
Maybe it's just because there's not really been anyone new who has managed to take their places? There are lots of MMFs who hit specific niches but FF and LL both managed to attract huge swathes of fandom, Sam!girl and Dean!girl alike. Maybe not too many Cas!girls, though apparently a lot of Cas!girls ship J2 and FF was known almost more for that than her Sam/Dean, so.
I can't think of anyone else who's managed to have that sort of fame within fandom, but I also can't think of people who write the sort of long, epic fic that they did. People write long stuff but not with the same hook to their writing that snares the reader and keeps them dragged in chapter to chapter or if they do, it's only appealing to a very limited audience.
