Seeing as how I don't write much fanfic, I'm not sure if I'm even qualified to answer here, but why would I let that stop me?
Aside from L&C, I've written for
The Pretender. In fact, my longest and most ambitious fic was set in the Pretender universe. I have, however, not been active in that fandom.
I do use the same style, generally, whatever fandom I'm writing for. Due to the difference between the shows, I don't address the same themes, really, because I don't see the point. I like being able to explore premises with tP that I could not explore with LnC and vice versa. But I think that what attracts me to both LnC and
The Pretender is the dynamic between the two leading characters and, specifically, the female main protagonist on both shows.
What I like about writing for
The Pretender is that I generally don't have to watch content and language, because 1) that fandom doesn't tend to be as strict as this one when it comes to that type of thing and 2) the characters on
The Pretender are more likely to use stronger language than the ones on LnC. I find that especially dialogue can be enhanced if you're allowed to use whatever vocabulary you like and don't have to limit yourself to whatever is deemed PG in order for your story not to wind up in the nfic category due to one word or phrase.
I'm not going to go into whether or not I find this fandom to be too prohibitive in regard to this type of thing, because I accept the rules and I'm not going to argue with them. I can always go play in another fandom if I don't feel like sticking to them
