I started thinking about the similarities between J/I and D/R after hearing RTD answer a question about the accusations of homophobia - he said something like 'do your research.' Well, I know there's at least one knowledgeable LGBT fan who posted a well thought-out, well researched summary of why CoE looks bad from a Queer Studies point of view, so, I assumed he meant researching his past works.

Looking them over, he does seem to be writing the same relationship over and over again. So, now I'm thinking his writing is somewhat formulaic as well as cliched. :/
