Actually, some of them aren't that bad. I try to avoid the ship fics though. I'd recommend Of Monsters and Artifacts. It has no ships that I can think of and is fairly well written. To answer the question, it's because rule of thumb is, anything that exists must be shipped with something else that exists.

I like the Yuri shipping fics, appropriately. I'm partially surprised and partially impressed one of the first fics there was Crimson Snow, which was a RubyxWeiss lemon. One of the first stories there was a lemon, of all things.

I'll read anything except horror fics. And ones with OC's in them. And God forbid, one with an OC screwing RWBY characters. It's happened, and every time I've screamed louder than Jaune with the Death Stalker. Actually, one that involved OC's screwing Team RWBY had such bad spelling in it

Why I avoid anything with OC's in them: Dear lord, the RWBY fanfiction archive is about RWBY, not about the OC. It's called RWBY Fanfiction Archive, not OC Fanfiction Archive.

That aside, some of the fanfiction stories are good actually, just not ones with OC's, bad spelling (my reasoning is, don't even bother to write a story if it can't be understood in the first place, you're just wasting your time and everyone elses), OCxRWBY characters, or that really odd RomanxWeiss pairing. I would take OzpinxRuby over those pairings any day. Not that I've seen said pairing...yet. Someone go write a story concerning that.
