Perhaps if you were h/c oriented and came into fandom to find it dominated by cyberpunk fiction, then perhaps your curiosity would be likewise piqued. Maybe, maybe not.
My curiosity wouldn't have been piqued. I came into a fandom dominated by Avon fanfic. I didn't ask why or care why. I just went out and did my own thing: write Tarrant fanfic.
What I'm really asking, when I analyse h/c, is, "What makes me the odd one out?"
This is possible insight into why *I* don't understand the curiosity of those who aren't into h/c. I've been the odd one out so often that I'm quite comfortable there. It's where I expect to be.
