lightrobberWoulda been posted to fanficrants, but it's too... small to bother. So's here.
There was one writer who wrote for a not-so-popular ship and I used to like all of her stories. But after I took a small stray from her works and came back after a few months, I realised I don't like her fics anymore. She called it "character development", I called it unbelievable. I guess, in the time I spent away from that fandom I grew up (fanfic-wise) too fast while she was still tagging along the old paths. In a way, her later-written stories became worse than the ones she started with (although I don't see them quite as the gems they supposedly were back then).
And YET I found an old fic by a different author and you know what? While the fic is still full of iffy characterisation and faily grammar, I bloody love it to bits. Come on! Bakura and Ryou as doctors? A bitchfit of an OC? Malik/Marik as a psycho killer with two personalities in one? Gimme summa dat anytiem. And make sure it's written by this person. And, and... I could rant my love for it for forever and a day, but sadly, the fic has stopped on chapter 3 and will not be continued, ever. 3 chapters of plain awesome is all I'll ever have. But even then, that makes me happy. I'd read this author's House fiction, but I don't want to get involved in that fandom.
The Muraki/Ryuuken fic I promised? I'll get to writing it today after I get home from work. I would have written it yesterday (which was my day off work), but I was too caught up writing my Saiyuki epic adventure. I finally found a solution for that one damn scene that didn't want to work out for me. (hai thar chapter 2. now we're hopelessly stuck on ya instead.)
I LOVE this song, by the way.
