earlier this month Meda posted an excellent essay about the h/c fanfiction subgenre (http://andromedalogic.tumblr.com/post/97024318847/bananapeppers-to-condense-it-down-horribly); in it she explores some of the reasons why h/c and angst appeal to fanfiction writers and readers (and she included references). I don’t agree with all of her points, but it was definitely a worthwhile read.
