This is something I've noticed for years and years... British fans seem to NOT like the more emotional aspects of fan fiction and therefore, many of them don't tend to like the hurt/comfort genre as a whole.
There's also the fact that (although this has been a subject of debate between me and my editors!) in many ways B7 characters reflect traditional British attitudes ("stiff upper lip" "save your breath to cool your porridge") so fairly drastic means are needed to elicit emotional displays that could be obtained in minutes among a more Americanized group of characters.
