But -- and I'm blue-skying here, understand -- there's enough remaining stigma that if the gen/porn ratio falls below a certain point, or the plotty-porn/PWP ratio falls below a certain point, the fandom loses coolness, and exodus ensues. And the writers burn out on it, too.
The thing with BSG is, I'm not sure there's even a lot of scope for plotty porn; all they're really leaving open are the actual bedroom antics. It seems to lend itself to short pieces of various combinations of characters snuck between the small cracks, and not a whole lot else except AUs, that I can see.
