Ooh, ah, WEIRD. Is the fic really crap, or just has that one pet peeve about "lifestyle choice?" And no one called them out on it?

Some cliches are bullet-proof in any fandom. *sigh*

The fic is crap, but not complete and total crap.

It is really long, like 50+ chapters. I got about halfway in when I realized I'd read it before. Not long after that, it turned into a full time bdsm fic, except that, of course, the writer has no clue of what bdsm is (outside of books and/or other fanfic), and when that swung into place I ran away.

That reminds me, sometime I should post a 'review' of this awful, awful bdsm SGA fic that's just so badly done I want to beat the writer, just for the irony of it. I call it "John Sheppard IS Marissa Picard". (of course, it has tons of kind reviews because ... again, it has the best loved slash pairing in the fandom.)

I really think that it's more than bullet-proof cliches. I think that the large majority of the people who rabidly insist on the majority favorite slash pairing, in just about any fandom I've encountered, would and do read stuff that would get a 4th grader a flunking grade in English and give it a rave review, solely because of the pairing.
