aww no worries! it’s okay to miss certain types of fics hahahaha (although i don’t think i’m the best person to tell this too because i write…coffee shop aus and uni aus and friends to lovers aus and that’s it), i do miss reading those types of fics too–i used to love reading them (in different fandoms)
writing dark/dark-er fics, i think, takes a lot of skill–you have to find a way to develop a character that’s messed up but still likeable, while keeping with the personalities of the celebrities they’re based off. , i would say i am not comfortable of like…messing up my characters, partly because this is rpf and there’s still some aspect of realism in it. it’s easier to pretend that characters are well-adjusted and happy and just set in a different universe rather than mess them up and assign tragic backstories…idk
anyway yeah! i guess like the only thing you can do is try your hand at it if you want it so badly….but i also understand that reading things are so much easier than writing them and you’d prefer to read an author’s take or an author’s voice on this certain plot idk
to be honest i wish i could write darker stories rather than all this fluff…i remember i had started a fic where harry was an angel and louis was a demon and they had a tryst, which resulted in them being stripped of their supernatural status and banished to earth as humans for a year, and they fall in love as humans. i still have the wip document of it, but i just don’t think it’s something i can write, or continue to write, because i feel that i just dont have the skill for it? dark fics are so hard and is so rare in this fandom and really, kudos to everyone who manages
