the age old "two cakes" mantra of fandom creation is so true in that genuinely you should not worry about doing what someone else has already done because your take on the same ideas is valuable anyway but I do so hate when all of a fandom's popular content is sort of the same thing. its like going to a bake sale and everyone brought a red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting. it's so good, but I can only eat so much cake. the frosting is getting to be too much in my mouth. I just want someone's homemade specialty cookies

#this is an invitation for all of you to drop your favorite really uncommon au fics in the tags for me to read if it's a pairing I like #especially bylers. I would like to see something other than our 3 cycled ones #SHOW ME YOUR WEIRDO NICHE SHIT #for bylers specifically it doesn't even have to be that niche like it could be an au that's decidedly not niche in any other fandom #I just feel like we have exclusively 1. modern au/college au (paired together cause they're barely different)#2. mildly canon divergent 3. fantasy #but that like. only applies to fics like I see people drop insanely cool moodboards like “oh paranormal investigators au”#WHO IS GONNA WRITE THE FUCKING FIC. ANY OTHER FANDOM THAT WOULD BE EASY TO FIND. WTF #and like I know the obvious answer to this to you may be “well don't only read popular shit try to branch out”#which. obviously. but I do not have the TIME or DESIRE to sift through thousands of fics #especially when I want to stumble across someone's weird niche shit like what tags do you use for that
