In most fandoms I'm a part of gen fics are either stream of consciousness type fics or 27 chpetered 100k+ long ones with the smallest description possible. I usually prefer having raunchiness in the stuff I read but damn, sometimes these provide a really nice break from all that.
If I had to choose between Gen fics and any other type then I HAVE to go down with my found family tropes, basically all of my favorite characters are kids with make-shift families 😅
My therapist has shared that her and her friends in highschool wrote what would be classified today as fanfics on paper and passed them around to each other to read
Love how he went into depth on how arranged marriage fics are questionable because what if they feel like they need to make the best of the situation? its forced! then proceeds to put bang or die in A tier LMAOO
@@nightwarrior6200 What's with the logic, like would "grape" be more okay if it happened once and you never saw the person ever again or something lol? 💀
@wolflover306 Oh, same here! I was incredibly into anything with wolves as a kid, so when I watched this movie first time it was like a life changing experience.
I wasn’t even into wolves when I watched it but I still loved it and it was also my first thought when Alpha & Omega things were mentioned in discussions but oh boy the things I’ve heard from ppl trying to explain it- Having that as first thought is truly a lot different from nowadays’ interpretation 💀😭
@@arekushi_ninjo2454 In gen I can write as much about heartbreaking complicated family dynamics as I want! Not everyone has the lived experience of romo, but everyone has experience with trauma! Plus I think society tends to devalue friendships a lot in comparison so yeah gen is pretty good to break down this preconceived notion that romances are somehow more interesting than other kinds of relationships.
@@arekushi_ninjo2454 I can agree with this too as an aroace person! But if we are talking about general gen without any spices or sauces, it is generally white rice.
@@maxineschultze922 :D do you publish any of them? If so for which fandom? I'm currently _dying_ because I've been struggling so hard recently to find any good hurt/comfort gen fics for my fandoms. If not, do you have any you read/particularly enjoyed? I'm more of a multichapter person but honestly anything will do at this point I'm so desperate T - T
More based if you don't need romance. You just need the bros. In all seriousness though, some of my favorite character groups are bros. Marcus and Dom from Gears of War. Find you a friendship like those two have.
True. And the fic needs to have 0 emojis in its description, no all caps in the title and if it's in lower case, even better. The 20k pwp fics are perfect.
its funny cause wolves actually *dont* have a social structure or ranks like that wolf packs only consist of the parents and their many litters of children; there are no alphas, there are no betas, no omegas, NOTHING perhaps only with captive wolves, as they're more likely to not be related and all around a similar age, but wild wolves do not have a hierarchy besides "parents" and "siblings" even with multiple packs at once (that are related), they end up following the lead of the eldest wolf in fact the animal that *does* have alphas and betas and whatnot are RATS rats have one alpha (typically the largest, but a small and feisty one can be alpha) and 1-4 betas in a colony everyone else is a gamma rat, and *sometimes* there's a fourth rank called "zeta" (zetas dont get bullied, but they are outcasts and actively avoid the betas and alpha) (in healthy colonies though, the zeta rank doesn't exist) abo kinda pisses me off JUST because of that lmaoo
I'm partial to the comparison of the observed social structure among captive wolves/dogs to that among captive humans (e.g. prison society). Being well aware of this not being their natural organization is why I groaned when IIRC Twilight and most of all MTV's Teen Wolf taught this by then already known to be false take (renounced for decades at that point by the very same scientist who had led the study that had those findings) to mainstream audiences, hated how Omegaverse didn't even manage to stick to those rules, and continue to despair at it having become all but impossible to find werewolves in fiction with none of that nonsense. I simply want sexy and optionally scary wolf boys/men, dammit.
I suddenly remembered that The Rat Pack was a group of like 1920's white-guy singers, and I realized if someone wanted to write them as rat-abgz, they could fit in just SOOOO many tropes all at once - they could fix-it-fic, and keep Buddy Holliday alive (IDK if he counted as a RatPack member, but I know he was sort of around that time), they could do Accidental Baby Acquisition and have them live as single fathers in a homophobic time, they could have them open a coffee shop and/or a tattoo parlor to PAY FOR this new baby - they could do mpreg or dark-fic or fluff... so many ideas
I’m in a fandom rn where in the most popular fic series it takes like 1.2 million words for the ship to get together so… yeah that shit can be *very slow*
@peli._.668 technically it’s a series (but like, a series linear enough that you need to read the whole thing because that shit has *plot for days* and infinite new characters) (and I was mistaken. It was only 1 million words before the ship got together. Somehow I added more in my brain. I read this series while very sleep deprived) but it’s The Stars Claim Them. It’s a crossover between two (albeit very intrinsically connected) fandoms, and an absolute beast of a project.
I feel like your brother would be very entertained by the Chinese drama Advance Bravely, because that show is 100% Plot without Porn. You can see where the spice should have been, but it just, awkwardly doesn't happen. (Admittedly a BL but still. HILARIOUS and unhinged.)
Oh man, there was this time loop/groundhog day star wars fic, where Obi-Wan had to live order 66 over and over, trying to figure out a way to fix it. Time loops have such potential for angst and tragedy, but still the possibility of a happy ending.
I like fluff as a preamble for the real juice stuff Like drama and angst and loss and pain and whatever Like the 5 seconds of John wick's wife being alive Just like white rice is never a full meal, but it's the stuff you contrast the flavorful ingredients against Fluff is a good starting point to other stuff It anchors the a comparison point for when shit hits the fan The characters can reminisce about the good old days, like 12h ago That's always nice
I absolutely despise miscommunication. Its so frustrating and it just pisses me off.

The only time I feel like I enjoy Arranged Marriage AU is when say the Princess is to be wedded to the Prince, however the Princess is actually in love with her royal guard or lady in waiting. Same for the Prince, he's also in love with someone who he's known for pretty much most of his life, and now the Prince and Princess need to get their parents to call off the wedding so they can be with who they actually love. So basically Arranged Marriage but when the Arranged Marriage doesn't happen.
i love when it’s royalty arranged marriage and it turns out one of them is secretly trans and thinks the other definitely won’t want them anyways especially because of that but it turns out the other one is gay anyways and it starts out as essentially a marriage of convenience where they agree to be married to appease their parents but end up falling for each other.
15:02 Hurt/comfort is my favorite, and I will admit as undertale au trash I read an exact fanfic of horror sans and farmer sans that follows hurt/comfort Where farmer sans has to nurse a horror sans dying from starvation back to health and literally has to feed him They genuinely used _real_ tips for handling starvation. High nutrient but non-dense broths are essential.
The thing about people constantly mistaking rivals or annoyances to lovers for enemies to lovers is so true though. They throw around the word enemies too lightly. Like no Susan I’m sorry but two people not getting along at their workplace isn’t the same as two people wanting to kill one another… at least not in most scenarios 😭
i love the editing so much. looks like a high school project (complimentary!!), but that matches the vibe of the video so well. i feel like we’re a bunch of high school friends talking together. you guys are so funny hahaha
1.) I read THE BEST "bang or die" fanfic a while ago, and it is still one of my favorites to this day. It is "Star Wars", Obi-Wan x Reader, it has smut, and I LOVE IT. 2.) Video: "What's ABO?" Me: "WELL..."
Thanks a lot, Coley for bringing up the subject of actual love triangles. It annoys the hell out of me when it's just two guys going for the same girl. Like, no...give me a real triangle, make them all fall madly in love with each other. You're missing all the fun.
Kind of Will, Jem and Tessa in The Infernal Devices? Both Will and Jem like Tessa and she ends up dating them both at separate times of her life (very far apart, because fantasy shit) but Will and Jem are canonically soulmates, in a platonic but may be interpreted as romantic way

This is my first video I've seen from you. You and your brother have great chemistry! Really makes up for how much I despise any sort of fanfiction that isn't gen fic. You got me to enjoy a video about something I dislike. Congrats.
@@Phantom_typee-wl7fq I said that her and her brother are entertaining together and i enjoyed the video despite not liking the topic. pretty shrimple stuff
1:05 oml this is exactly why i have a hard time with series sometimes, the ones i like end up having 0 fluff so i have to cope for a week and the ones with fluff devolve into mono-fluff and i just stop caring
I gotta juggle with fluff and non-fluff for the sake of my mental health. I accidentally read a really dark mtl recently and boy I knew I needed some sweet stuff the moment I finished it. (The dark stuff all came crashing down the last few chapters)
i feel like whatever fandom/ ship you're into can influence which tropes you like. Maybe some fandoms and ships just sometimes lend them selves to trope and au's better? I remember watching one of these videos a few years ago and my ranking were different then cause i was envisioning everything with a different ship.
During the whole little Slow Burn section, the only thing that came to my mind was the 6000 year slow burn that is Good Omens! We love the Ineffable husbands!

The only time I feel like I enjoy Arranged Marriage AU is when say the Princess is to be wedded to the Prince, however the Princess is actually in love with her royal guard or lady in waiting. Same for the Prince, he's also in love with someone who he's known for pretty much most of his life, and now the Prince and Princess need to get their parents to call off the wedding so they can be with who they actually love.
So basically Arranged Marriage but when the Arranged Marriage doesn't happen.
Royalty stories are so good, I love a good mage/knight/northern duke love interest
i love when it’s royalty arranged marriage and it turns out one of them is secretly trans and thinks the other definitely won’t want them anyways especially because of that but it turns out the other one is gay anyways and it starts out as essentially a marriage of convenience where they agree to be married to appease their parents but end up falling for each other.
i never would have guessed your brother was this innocent ngl
Using the potter puppet pals to demonstrate angst is the best decision in this video
(But there are a lot of good ones bro)
I always felt like hurt/comfort was more about the reader than the characters. Like we have an angsty story with the promise of comfort afterwards
Mutual pining / Enemies to lovers / hurt comfort is my favorite combo- also I love Coley's bro
Less than 3 min in and I've paused twice to laugh - coley traumatizing family members is a staple genre of the channel lol.
Girl your comedic timing is top tier I am wheezing at 5:34 WHAT IS THIS????????????
WHAT IS KERMIT DOING
that jjk spoiler killed me, I was waiting to watch it after my examns 😢
Oh you poor baby you don't know nothing yet there is so much death in jjk
literally though 😔
I’d gotten spoilered by tumblr over a year ago but this was my confirmation that Nanami died :(
Jjk is so overrated and trash
@@AverageHandEnjoyer-jp3xuthat’s cool and all but was that necessary?
His idea of the porn but only plot trope is actually so funny?
12:25 - the gif for this moment IS SO PEAK OMGGGG, I LOVE IT SO MUCH
I also blame that episode of Fairly Odd Parents for being so desensitized to mpreg 😅 well that and the Hetalia fandom back when I was in it...
Anyone who was in the Hetalia fandom deserves compensation
Omg a Hetalia comment...still in it and still read too many fanfics lmao. But I stayed WELL away from Mpreg pfft
Honestly I'm desensitized to it because I constantly wish I could have a child
Dude my introduction to mpreg was a Hetalia fic lol
Gonna need the “Coley’s brother reviews fanfics” series soon
15:02
Hurt/comfort is my favorite, and I will admit as undertale au trash
I read an exact fanfic of horror sans and farmer sans that follows hurt/comfort
Where farmer sans has to nurse a horror sans dying from starvation back to health and literally has to feed him
They genuinely used _real_ tips for handling starvation. High nutrient but non-dense broths are essential.
7:17 ok but I can't blame him for the "sharing a bed" because yes same.
The thing about people constantly mistaking rivals or annoyances to lovers for enemies to lovers is so true though. They throw around the word enemies too lightly. Like no Susan I’m sorry but two people not getting along at their workplace isn’t the same as two people wanting to kill one another… at least not in most scenarios 😭
I absolutely lost it at 6:40 😂😂
Get your brother on those Star Wars fics asap!
love seeing that "first kiss" right next to "bang or die" lol
i love the editing so much. looks like a high school project (complimentary!!), but that matches the vibe of the video so well. i feel like we’re a bunch of high school friends talking together. you guys are so funny hahaha
1.) I read THE BEST "bang or die" fanfic a while ago, and it is still one of my favorites to this day. It is "Star Wars", Obi-Wan x Reader, it has smut, and I LOVE IT.
2.) Video: "What's ABO?" Me: "WELL..."
Name of the fanfic?? 😭
@@idkidkidk262 It's called "The Locked Door" and it's by guardianangelcas on Archive of Our Own.
Thanks a lot, Coley for bringing up the subject of actual love triangles. It annoys the hell out of me when it's just two guys going for the same girl. Like, no...give me a real triangle, make them all fall madly in love with each other. You're missing all the fun.
Kind of Will, Jem and Tessa in The Infernal Devices? Both Will and Jem like Tessa and she ends up dating them both at separate times of her life (very far apart, because fantasy shit) but Will and Jem are canonically soulmates, in a platonic but may be interpreted as romantic way
Our Queen Has Posted Once Again,The Fandom Goddess,The Mrbeast Of Fanfiction If You Will.
I Kinda Regret The MRBEAST Line Now That Uh Yk Happened 😢 More Like Uh The Skibidi Toilet Rizz Of RUclips I Guess,I Was Just Thinking Of A Popular RUclipsr To Compare Her To 😭
him suggesting porn but ONLY the plot is absolutely an amazing idea
17:32 "WHY IS THIS NOT CANNON?!?!?!??" literally me every other fan fic i read
AHHHHH THE QUEEN POSTED JUST A FEW MINUTES AGOOOO, SO EARLYYY
also your poor brother 😭😭
I GASPED THE SECOND HE ASKED WHAT ABO WAS..
No worries Coley's brother, Anakin not turning the darkside is my Roman Empire too
Ayy- their Mom is a fellow Smallville fan! Cool beans 😁
Also love how she just relates everything to Star Wars or Game of Thrones and he’s instantly on board 😂
I love him. All of his takes are so normal and yet unhinged at the same time
This is my first video I've seen from you. You and your brother have great chemistry! Really makes up for how much I despise any sort of fanfiction that isn't gen fic. You got me to enjoy a video about something I dislike. Congrats.
what did you just say 😭
@@Phantom_typee-wl7fq I said that her and her brother are entertaining together and i enjoyed the video despite not liking the topic. pretty shrimple stuff
1:05 oml this is exactly why i have a hard time with series sometimes, the ones i like end up having 0 fluff so i have to cope for a week and the ones with fluff devolve into mono-fluff and i just stop caring
I gotta juggle with fluff and non-fluff for the sake of my mental health. I accidentally read a really dark mtl recently and boy I knew I needed some sweet stuff the moment I finished it. (The dark stuff all came crashing down the last few chapters)
1:32 Same. I need to write something on that, I think about the what-ifs of those movies far too much.
i feel like whatever fandom/ ship you're into can influence which tropes you like. Maybe some fandoms and ships just sometimes lend them selves to trope and au's better? I remember watching one of these videos a few years ago and my ranking were different then cause i was envisioning everything with a different ship.
Your brother funny. Great back-and-forth between you two. 😂
During the whole little Slow Burn section, the only thing that came to my mind was the 6000 year slow burn that is Good Omens! We love the Ineffable husbands!
Or Treasure Planet, remember how long it took me and Delbert to figure out we liked each other?
As a person new to fanfic who is watching this on May the 4th, I really enjoyed the Star Wars examples, thank you for pandering to me.
coleys brother: What's abo ? me: oh no ......
Your brother and I have got similar taste in tropes. I do have a soft spot for angst and genfic though. :)
YOUR BROTHER IS SO FUNNY THIS VIDEO IS AMAZING LMAOO
“What if the characters from Game of Thrones met the characters from Star Wars.”
Wait, hold on. Can Vylarian steel withstand a lightsaber? And what would happen if Vylarian steel was mixed with bescar?
2:22 is it weird that I knew exactly what he was talking about right away?
Same 😭
Same omg 😭 we had the same childhood
SAMEEE LOL I WAS SURPRISED AT MYSELF
“Sometimes it takes like the whole Harry Potter series for them to just hold hands”
*shows tgcf* lmaoooo 😂
