DPP: You Give Fic A Bad Name

[kl-shipper1.livejournal.com]

Hello, fellow pilots shippers! I'm kl_shipper1 and I'll be driving the DPP bus this week. This is my first time leading this thing, so bear with me.

I've been around fandoms long enough to see that there are certain genres of fic that have a reputation for being badfic-- for example, babyfic and songfic. So, my question for you all today is:

Why do these types of fic automatically get such a bad reputation? Is this the case in the BSG fandom? With pilots fic?

(Also, feel free to rec some fics that you feel are examples of these genres done well.)

Just wanted to say how awesome I think you all are for rationally, respectfully and thoughtfully carrying on this potentially flame-worthy discussion.

Carry on, badasses and nurturers and badass nurturers!
