And yeah, I've actually gone in almost exact reverse from how most people in fandom do things, because I intentionally started writing (original M/M) romance in about 2012-ish to get better at doing character arcs, and then transitioned to writing the mostly-het romance I'm writing now, but prior to all of this, 99% of my fanfic was plotty action-adventure gen. I didn't start doing fanfic M/M (aside from an experiment here or there) until after I'd already been writing the original version for awhile.
I realize that's a highly unusual trajectory in fandom, though!
