I miss cute/angst geonmaet I feel like there's only porn now a days (I ain't complaining but I want a cute fic from time to time :()
allow me to go on a tangent: I can say for a fact that a good majority of us writers enjoy writing fluffy/angst fics with plot. and at least for me, since I can really only speak for myself, it takes much longer to write and complete said fics and push it out to an audience that might not be as accepting as we hope. because truth be told, pwp fics get a lot more love and attention (I mean, look at the top otp true fics under the tag, itāll speak for itself). even though we write for ourselves, itās difficult not to feel swayed by lower kudos, comments or hits than we wouldāve liked, which in turn could eventually drive us to say āfuck it, iāll just churn out a quick porn fic. takes less effort and more people like itā not to say porn fics are low effort at all, but you understand the comparison I hope.
Iām sure you meant this in good faith but despite everything I said, there are quite a few fics that fall under the umbrella of what youāre looking for. I mean, oomf just posted a fluffy fic the other day, you should check it out: https://archiveofourown.org/works/59496076
