Interesting... and TRUE. HP fandom is so startlingly large that just about everything has been covered... which is one of the reasons I think I haven't written in it more. I have quite a few half-finished stories that I realised other people had already written better about a hundred times. Of course, new ideas shall spring fresh come July 16th. Hopefully.
Genderfuck fic is usually either really boring to me or wildly implausible to the point that I can't enjoy the story, so I have very rarely read it -- in fact, the only two stories I haven't read on the H/W site, Sacrilege! are the two in a series that make Holmes a woman. Just... no. And I have read some pretty terrible badfic in my quest for Holmes stories. But that I have always loved that on line from The Game...
That's one thing about HP fandom that I actually eally dislike, is the whole weird fetishisation of EVERYTHING -- as if the writing doesn't matter, a long as the kinks are in there. And they're all so specific!
