*bashes head against desk*

I hate getting this invested in a fic (I do not want to look at the chapter number, bad enough that it's 3 digits long) only to find that it's going to have large undercurrents of character-bashing. Especially given that it was recced in a comm that specifies no character bashing. And yes, it is still bashing if the characters in question are

Ugh, very annoying.

In the Bujold world, I like the fics that either leave out Laisa and Ekaterin entirely, or include them in some creative way.

My guess is this is not a Bujold fic because no one's writing stuff that long in Bujold fandom.

Yep, me too.

You would be right. This one's a Doctor Who/Torchwood fic. I don't know what about the rec convinced me that a hundreds of chapters long fic was worth picking up in the first place, but I'm all done with it.

Oh dear, that is disappointing. At least there will be lots of wonderful new SSHG stuff to read before too long!

And now I kind of want to go find Miles/Gregor fic...

This is true! And maybe I can finally get my head back into HP fandom.

Ask and you shall receive: A Deeper Season by sahiya and lightgetsin. If you look in my LJ bio, there's links to the sequels as well.

i completely agree with you. i'm only active in hp fandom, and i hate it when people demonize ron or lily. (or tonks for that matter - *points to icon*) plus, i think it's *lazy* writing.

Snupin and Tonks! How could I forget Snupin and Tonks?

I agree. It is lazy writing, in addition to just being annoying. *nods*
