Nonsensical ramble - please ignore me.........

Ever had an incident where you know the style of a particular fanfic author is not your cup of tea, yet you still go ahead and read another of the author's story out of curiosity???

Well - it happened to me. I cannot say that the author is bad - in fact the author is really good, I think(??). It's just kinda dark & depressing.

I simply cannot comprehend why the fuck I torment myself cos the last time I read this author's fic, I was fucking disturbed.

Anyway, despite that, I did not stop midway cos I had to know the ending right. No point being disturbed and not reading the entire story, right?? Afterall, I'm already affected/upset/whatever.

As expected, I was once again disturbed by the story. I tell myself - It's just a story. Snap out of it!!!! But it creeps into my mind now & then.

I really need to get a life. Sigh.........

Now you've peaked my interest in the writer who could do that to you. But yeah, I've totally done that, esp (and I don't want to say bad) but really poor spellers with massive grammar issues. Or writers who don't seem to try and connect with the characters at all and just have them do whatever they feel like without regard to the characters personality and not call it an AU. I know we've all done it at least once, and yes, I've been pointed out myself, but there's a difference in not caring and not knowing. You know?

Sorry, I think I ran away with your soap box... *slinks away to some deep dark corner*

This author tends to write about the characters' dark side, which if I think about it, may possibly exist but I refuse to believe that they would give into that dark side and do whatever they did in the story.

I'm such an idealist, aren't I? Ha Ha Ha

I'd wish I can step out and give myself a kick in the arse.

(Nice icon. Tiotally suitable for this post. LOL)

I must say, a dark aspect every now and again is kinda refreshing, in a creepy, fatalistic sort of way, but I don't think I could only write it.
