Hmph.

Am reading a really, really, really atrocious fic. So atrocious that I cannot, in good conscience, supply a link, because I would then have to contribute to your therapy bills.

I can't stop reading it, either.

It just has that...verve that awful Suethors sometimes display. They run all over the map, cramming so much into the fic, but there's just this raw...energy...or something...and I keep reading. Well, that, and it's a terrific exercise in How Not To Write. It's also fun to imagine how you would edit each sentence and rephrase whole paragraphs.

There really is something wrong with me. I've gone through 86 chapters already.

I did the very same thing with this godawful LotR fic once. It, too, was over 100 chapters long, and I just kept reading and reading.

There is something wrong with me!

Oh, yes, I'll definitely take your advice. Will have to peruse some fabula rasa...
