MCD

I decided to create a series for all of my death fics on AO3. There’s only three in there so far but I know I’ll write more because sometimes I need to read or write it. Like, NEED to.

A Million Ways To Die In The Pegasus Galaxy

I’m never gonna reach a million fics but there will definitely be more. Maybe even my next one...

MCD fics are far and away the ones that get the least reads in my experience but sometimes nothing else will do. What about you guys? Do you ever read MCD or do you avoid it like the plague?

I've written a couple of MCD fics and, as you say, they are the least popular of what I've written.

I will read MCD fic, sometimes I have to be in the right mood to do so... I almost always cry... I do appreciate when they're properly tagged... I've tripped across a few fic with un-warned MCD, over time, and I'm divided. I appreciate the warning and generally need the head's up, but (as the argument goes) mainstream books don't warn for anything, and knowing a MCD may spoil the entire story. There's no good answer to it.

I try not to write MCD if I can avoid it, anymore... it takes a special mindset to do it, but I do agree that if it's where the story goes, that's where it goes.

The tagging issue is one I’m in two minds about. Personally, I always tag for it (and I’m hoping that having them all collected in one series makes it even more obvious to those who don’t read the tags and then complain, lol) but I sometimes grudge the fact that I have to if that makes sense?

Still, yeah, it’s a mood and not one I get in often but, when I do, only MCD scratches that itch!
