That's an unusual approach. Most fan writers write what they like to read
as
opposed to what other readers like.
Having written in something of a minority field, I know that I have deliberately included elements slanted towards mainstream fanfic in order to make the story more palatable for the general reader. (Though someone at Redemption told me she'd spotted those bits a mile off and felt they actually weakened the story.)
