Yeah that sounds about right. It has its own fandom separate from the main HP fic fandom. So the posters aren’t always looking for the same things.
Comment on Why are Maries Sues hated while Gary Stus are loved?
SolOrion@sh.itjust.works 1 week agoI used to be into HP fanfiction and my god I got so tired of hearing about HPMOR. I didn’t hate it, I didn’t feel nearly that strongly. I got a handful of chapters in and put it down, but that’s reasonably normal for me. But my god you could not escape that fic. It’s fans were rabid and it’s detractors were even worse than that. If it could vaguely fit a req, they’d bring it up. And then get three replies about how it doesn’t fit the req and it’s the worst thing since My Immortal within fifteen minutes.

As another example, think of the hate Wesley Crusher still gets decades after TNG. I dunno how Wil Wheaton deals with it.
