Sigh, I'd almost forgotten about Sherlock fandom's habit of making Sherlock decide to have sex for [significant other]'s sake, and then writing your standard two dudes sex scene with no thought to how Sherlock might behave differently than a sexual character in such a scene.
But you're right, the good ones can be amazing.
(The math geek in you has a point! It takes some actual thought on my part to see things that way - I see a larger number for a fandom and I go "ooh, this one has more fic!" even though it can't be more than a tenth of a percent of all fics in that fandom, if that. (...actually, I just checked, and SGA fic on AO3 is 0.13% ace-related, where Les Mis and White Collar are between 0.8 and 0.9% acefic. Sherlock is 1.25% acefic.) I still maintain that you aren't projecting onto John (not unless the authors of those twenty fics are all projecting too!), but I admit that the proof I presented is misleading.)
