I’m a “nerdy hypothetical situation” fanfic reader and not a “I ship them” fanfic reader so sometimes I feel like I don’t fit in here

i love hypothetical situation fics and even if they’re like slash fics I definitely prefer the ones where they’re in a situation personally my least favorite aside from x readers are “what if these two fucked”

Omg same. I’m a “plot over ship” person and it can be hard to find fics for certain fandoms and also relate to what other people look for in fics

I fear you’re not using the filters to their full potential. If your main issue is the smut, filter out the ‘explicit’ and possibly even ‘mature’ ratings or ‘smut’ tag. Than should help you out a bit!

trust me i use those filters it does definitely help but ive also on some rare occasions found fics VERY mislabeled as G, its fr just a guessing game at times 😔

it also happens sometimes where people label fics with a few curses, substance use, deaths, etc. but no sexual content as explicit or mature and then id miss out on those if i filtered it, so depending how much content a fandom or character im looking for has its sometimes better to just look through them all yk

If they’re mislabeled you should report the mislabeling so that it can be fixed! This will improve the experience for everyone and is what reporting is actually for (looking at you, WattPad migration). I’m sorry about the explicit language part tho :/ I also go through long stretches where I don’t want any kind of slash and it can definitely be hard to dig through
