Tbh being a fic-lover in any fandom can be brutal if you're looking for gen. I'm grateful that DD fandom does still have a ton of good gen or BROTP-focused stories and writers. Everyone here is awesome.
But the rest of MCU fandom is the absolute WORST right now if you don't ship a pairing (and if you don't ship Stucky, it's better but still kind of a wasteland). I had to leave because nobody cared about genfic, or even about taking post-AOU canon seriously. And Ant-Man and Guardians are being almost entirely ignored and I strongly suspect it'd due to a lack of comfortable or obvious pairings.

I feel your pain.
