I'm more of a "fuck the masses, I'm writing it anyway" writer, but then I write primarily het and that's the red-headed stepchild of fandom :) I've not always had this outlook, but when my earlier work got no feedback at all, it was either write what I like and the hell with popular opinion, or stop writing. And I'm not prepared to go *that* far.

Great post...gave me a little something to think about regarding my support of rarepairs.
