first of all, love reading the comments here, not only for the RPF journeys but for the chance to see what everyone likes in fic <3 I can relate to so much of it!
I've been aware of fic since forever thanks to the harry potter fics I used to read as kid, so I think I just sort of accepted fic as part of any fandom experience? I can't remember if I ever had any issues with RPF; as soon as I got into suju in 2010, I started reading/writing kpop fic. my asianfanfics account was created in jan/2011, and I was using LJ and language-specific fic sites during that time too.
as for the ideal kpop fic, the appeal of RPF to me is characterization, so characterization that's based on what we know about the person is my favorite thing. I'll never get tired of canonverse because it tends to incorporate some stuff I love: found family, friends to lovers, self-discovery, roommates/living together, angst... but I love a good AU too, especially vampire AU and media fusion. (give me all the MV/book/movie-inspired fics!!!)
