Mm, I'm inclined to agree with that assessment tbh? And while I don't think it's something specific to SW:TFA fandom, I do think it's more pronounced here than in many fandoms I've been in. I've found myself getting bored with much of the fic I see on AO3 because it feels as though it all has the same plot -- which is actually something I've never felt that quickly in a fandom before, and I've been involved in fandom for over 15 years now! Personally, I find that a lot of SW:TFA fics don't take advantage of how BIG the Star Wars universe is. That doesn't mean 'you need to rely on the EU' -- almost 100% of my engagement with Star Wars is exclusively through the films. But it does feel as though there's this great expansive universe full of different star systems and races and missions and possibilities, but all I end up seeing are a billion Finn/Poe mutual pining fics set in the Resistance base. There's nothing wrong with that trope, especially if it's something people enjoy -- but I know that I would prefer more settings and contexts to keep things fresh and exciting. I know that there are a lot of dissimilarities between them, but I actually do think that SW:TFA fandom could take a page out of Star Trek AOS fandom. They're inherently structured differently, yes, but I would DEFINITELY be in favour of more mission fics, seeing people's made-up planets, etc.
