valis2Am 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.

Date: 2006-10-08 08:44 pm (UTC)You know, Gina, that if I can provoke her into sharing that link, it will turn out that this is someone who signed up for Smutmas. And already has 93 chapters written out of the 213 she has outlined for her contribution.
Hope you have some bandwidth on that server you're using for the longer stories. Just saying.

Date: 2006-10-08 08:54 pm (UTC)Just scanning the chapter list and summary, I can tell that this one is a classic, too. And in *coughs* a pairing that I like a lot, if you know what I mean. Valis is on chapter 86, and I can tell you that she still has a ways to go.
*rubs hands* God, badfic is a pleasure all its own. This one may inspire me to new meta, I can tell.
Hope you've got that bandwidth nailed down already, Gina. *is gleeful with the glee of a thousand Schadenfreuden*

If you're nice to me, I'll forward the link, Gina.

Date: 2006-10-08 09:04 pm (UTC)It has nothing to do with "ew! slash!" because I lurves me some slash. It's all...so...icky.
Chapter 73, it looks like, is one of them.

Date: 2006-10-09 12:59 am (UTC)Your comments are hilarious!
101 chapters? I'm curious... How long are they? 1000 words each?

Date: 2006-10-09 01:25 am (UTC)I'm eyeballing a couple 10,000+ chapters at the moment. Whoa!
Your icons are the hottest ever, I swear. Every time you comment or I see your entries I stop for a moment, entranced by the gorgeous males on display...

Date: 2006-10-12 02:00 pm (UTC)I highly recommend re-reading a long loved favorite that you haven't read for a year or more. It seems to be working wonders for me. :)

Date: 2006-10-13 03:27 am (UTC)There is something wrong with me!
Oh, yes, I'll definitely take your advice. Will have to peruse some fabula rasa...
