I'm this close of sending a very angry and very detailed email to an author who totally fucked up most of my favorite criminal investigation shows and pairings.
After a certain wank a few years ago, I haven't sent any con crit to anyone, and I think flaming is stupid and childish. But damn it, this fic almost deserves it. A well thought crossover with my favorite couples (y'all know I'm an OTP whore, right?) and then it was all about the usual crap that seems to be all over the CSI and NCIS fandoms.
Younger men are weepy and traumatized and older man are manly but also traumatized and of course they all love each other and carry each other and then hey there's another trauma and OMG a bitchy female character.
And then they bathe each other...
I didn't expect much, but even so I was totally disappointed. Considering I've been reading slash for 9 years now, I've read loads of godsawful crapola, and I think this'll get to the top 3 of 'Worst Fics Ever'.
*tears off whatever's left of her hair*
The fic even had most of my pet peeves! ( which of course leads to more ranting )
/rant
In case someone wants to make my day by telling me I'm a bitter fucker who should be shot to death for being evil and mean and flaming and crap... I'm stating an opinion in my own LJ, not naming any names or linking to anyone. If my rant hits too close to home, too bad; I'm not talking about anyone who probably reads my LJ anyway.
