I’ll go first: Romance is extremely overrated. I am far down on the aroace spectrum where I feel no attraction, so I don’t really understand the point of romance fics. I’ve read a few that were good, but I usually avoid them unless it’s something I really want to read. I exclusively write gen except for one crackfic I made. No hate to authors of romance fics, I just find them boring and overdone.
Mate, I can’t find that first rule in the list of rules, sorry. I don’t think any of these are rules, fan fiction does not have rules.
