with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi
I couldn't even get past the title of that.
Lizard, Jesus drinks himself to sleep when you read the badfic. It's true.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
Proof, again, that a having a platform does not a good fic make.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Gah!

Thanks for all the fish.

And the problem was that it was almost well-written, I mean not *excellent*, but the cadences of speech kept promising that this person would give me a light and enjoyable read with the occasional nice line, all with decent technique. But then it kept being really bad.
Or maybe I was just sick when I read it.

It came to me in my inbox, and Paul finally told me to stop ranting about it because "It was bad, deal!"
But, I had serious "dude, you so don't understand these characters" moments along with the "platform fic bad" moments.

Oh, of course, wrod! The problem with platform fic itself is that it flattens and caricatureizes the characters [say that three times fast! & I'm pretty sure I spelled it wrong, too] to suit its chosen message until the entire thing is just a travesty of a piece of writing.
