Honestly, I feel much the same way, particularly when it comes to erotic fiction. The number of fanfics that actually treat Sakura decently is way too low, the amount of porn involving her is lower still and the amount that caters to my specific fetishes is basically zero....
Plus, the position I'm in makes it basically impossible for me to even ask other people to write it or suggest things, because I'm out of contact with the majority of the fandom.
Hey, you got two good Sakura scenes from me!
One that was pretty vanilla and the other that had some kinky stuff to it.
Yeah, true, although actually
finding them now isn't that easy, particularly since I don't have the ability to bookmark threads on BL any more....
And, a couple of scenes isn't that much overall. There's considerably more Rin/Archer stuff than that. Not that they're not nice or anything, but it's not very much.
Plus, the one fic I really
did like (the Sister Servants one) has disappeared without a trace, and thanks to DP, Altima and the BL mods I can't even bloody ask about it (or, at least, I have no way of getting a
response).
I'm not sure why you thought that, honestly. If people have ideas, they'll usually write them. Occasionally you'll get people who try to palm their ideas off on you, yes, but most of the time it's pretty independant.
Also, it's quite probable that the very act of writing fics encourages others to be interested in the same area, particularly when they're good fics.
Not at all. When I wrote, there was pretty much a lack Archer stuff because it was just automatically assumed that I would write it. I've backed off and well, there's been a little pick up. Even though most of it is, "Let's throw Archer into the 4th War!" fics that became insanely popular for a while.
They can be fun to read, but it just . . . I don't know, it's the same sort of fic.
Well, yeah, that's fair enough. But, if you're not writing it then it's difficult to really direct what other people do write.
Even so, I get the impression that Rin/Archer is more popular as a pairing than Shirou/Sakura is....
Yuurei-san was writing a fairly fantastic Rin and Archer story and then she just stopped.
I don't remember that, honestly.
And the stuff I find, when I do find it, is ripping off me. Which also pisses me off.
Well, possibly it's because people want to read your ideas and, since you're not writing them, do so yourself....
Also, you're a good author, it's not surprising that people copy you somewhat.
