And another one!

[coalcube]

I see my nemesis getting a fic that I love
And I'm like, "Fuck you" 
I guess my 10k letter wasn't enough
I'm like, "Fuck you and fuck morbane, too"
Said, "If I was a long commenter, they woulda gamed for me"
Ha, now ain't that some shit?
(Ain't that some shit?)
And although there's pain in my chest
I still comment it's the best
And runs to coal to shout "Fuck you"

Do you write professionally published romance? That's the genre whose tropes overlap a lot with OW.

No, but what you're saying about romance tropes is true about fan-fiction too. I think it's not the tropes alone, but also the general spirit. People write trope-y OW in exchanges as a hobby and they post it on an AO3 collection for an audience of fanfic readers who are into those tropes. The most important thing is writing the trope/ship dynamic/kink well. I'm not saying there aren't things in common with pro-writing, but if I have to write something professionally, I feel a lot more pressure and there are other things to keep in mind, to the point that it's like a different activity to me. I don't know, I used to be confused about OW in exchanges when I started doing them, but after seeing the kind of things people requested and wrote, it made perfect sense to me to see them as part of the fandom experience.

That's not fanfic. That's writing for kinks/likes. Fanfic depends on a canon.
