Bad fic! Argh! Argh, argh!

[foxmonkey]

How do you guys do it? I can't read bad!fic, I just can't do it. It makes me crazy; I just want to hit somebody. Jeebus, they've tried to kiss about 20 times now, and they've been interrupted every. single. time. And it's just the third friggin' chapter! Arrrrggggggghhhhh!!!!

Does he love me? He says he does, but I'm sure he doesn't mean it! I kissed him and OH GOD, he's been standing there motionless and speechless for ten minutes so now I'll run out of the room because I know he hates me! I'm going to hide for weeks lest he see my tears and be disgusted by my shameless display of emotion!

Hit me in the head with a 2x4, please. Thanks.

Ha! You started reading it, too. (If we're in fact thinking of the same story.) I'll admit it, I liked the first couple chapters because I thought, "Wow, this is kind of new and refreshing," because of the different style and introspective!Justin. But then it all started to go downhill. Part of the blah feeling was because so much was updated at a time - I felt like I was literally wading through a thick swamp trying to get to the end. The constant non-forward action really bugged me, too. Nothing was HAPPENING. It was just repetition of the same "conflict" over and over again for like, 200k.

But for real, mine and Joie's number one blah-factor right now is too many peripheral characters! Why why why put all these people in who serve no purpose? Why? Why? WHY?

Yikes, sounds like I got out just in time!

It was bad enough with the two (practically three) main characters as it was; introducing a cast of thousands would have had me looking for the nearest open window. ;-)

lol, no, keep reading the fic of endless melodrama and tears! It's funny as long as you skim it.

That peripheral characters comment was about other stories (thinking of one in particular). Damn. I should hook you up, you'll enjoy banging your head against the desk, unsure of whether to laugh or cry. It was just pointless, pointless filler that makes less and less sense as it goes on. (Although JC and Justin finally get it on, so no complaints there.)
