They’re just too fluffy for me. The few I’ve read never have anything happen in them. I need some kind of drama or I’m gonna lose interest fast. I am almost 1000% sure I will never write one.
@rosemoonweaver I was following someone that once reblogged a post and put in their tags that they didn’t understand why all fics weren’t just happy and fluffy because fanfic is a happy place in a sad world. Like, more power to you for your decision person – you read your fluff and happy endings, no skin off my teeth – but to me?
Fanfic is a happy place but it’s also a form of entertainment and I expect to be entertained, you know? Give me some drama and angst and a hopeful ending (or even a heartbreaking ending or cliffhanger – I just want to be intrigued!).
The only real “traditional” one I wrote was my Sam/Jess/Brady and I used it for RSCC anti-valentine’s day. It was like 1k of dull, boring, tooth rotting fluff that I still dislike because I feel like nothing happened.
If all fic was happy and fluffy I wouldn’t be reading or writing it tbh. I’m 100% with you there. I love a happy ending, but make it worth it. Give me some heartache, some mystery, some danger, just something.
I can only maintain interest in something fluffy for about 1.5k without feeling the need to have something else happen. I think that’s the perfect length for a slice of life fic, which is the perfect place for fluff for me. But I cannot maintain enthusiasm much longer than that.
lbr though, nothing actually happens in a coffee shop au ever. Unless you make the coffee shop like, idk, a cover for some kind of illegal outfit, it’s gonna be tooth rotting fluff.
Oh my god coffeeshop AU/mafia AU – this needs to be written.
Jimmy and Castiel Novak are a couple of sweet guys running a super cute coffee shop in the middle of the city. But what no one knows is that they’re using the coffeeshop as a cover for drug smuggling for the local mafia family. Detective Dean Winchester might be getting close to cracking the case – if those twins would just stop feeding him their delicious lattes and cakes…
Oh my god, yes, please! I need that!
Ahaha I would read the hell out of it, but I’ve never even considered writing a mafia fic before lol.
lol. It could be fun, though. You might enjoy it…
