Whoa whoa everyone calm down here please, I know that not all fanfictions are good, but then again, who are we to stop people from sharing ideas/opinion/stories be they biased, humoristic, trolls (tough I have a bit less empathy for these), good or even excellent. So why don't we just keep down that rage against some authors who wrote a (potentially) bad fic? It's all for entertainment anyway.

Now back on track, I am as baffled as the OP. However I agree with some earlier opinionators that it might have simply something to do with the balance of female/male characters in the show. It is true that the current balance in the main cast (including JNPR) is currently heavily tipped by the amount of women, leaving not much room for somewhat straighter romances to develop into fanfiction. I'm pretty sure not much would be interested into seing one of the members of team CRDL hook up with anyone from team RWBY/JNPR (altough I fear someone here might now think about applying rule 34, to my deepest regret). So in the end it is simply about a question of mathematical pairing, if you have a main cast that is roughly 70%-80% female, you should expect to see that ratio reflected in fanfiction's romance.
