Well, comicverse has more than its share of "romo", so I don't think that equating it with "noromo" is valid
I'm sure it does, but I was responding to the posts by Dex and Alara about how comics fandom is one of the few not overrun with pairing fic to the detriment of all else, and how they'd like to keep that balance.
That's what leads to the comicfic=noromo thing. I suppose I could have been more precise, but I'm talkign in broad strokes here as I avoid doing any actual work today at work.
I'm not into XM moviefic so I don't know how valid your "Pavlovian response" is. But if there wasn't a lot of it, would such a response even arise? I dunno.
Hmm... could you clarify?
My Pavlovian response is to the attitude toward movievfic, not moviefic itself (though there are some names that have me itching for the delete key whenever I see them, yes).
If you mean, would the response arise if the attitude was not prevalent, then no, I don't think it would.
If you mean, would the response (to the attitude) arise if moviefic weren't a presence, I'm not sure how to answer.
I mean, yeah, a lot of moviefic is crap. So is a lot of *any* fiction, including published stuff. So I'm not quite sure what you're asking.
