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.........

That said, there are some authors I read despite the dark cast to their work because they are just that good.


I am a fan of darkfics. I love the emotions a good darkfic can evoke from the reader.

Having said that, I knew what to expect from the author. I knew I would not like it yet I went ahead with it. WTF??? Hence I'm sometimes amazed by myself......... LOL

I just have this need to clarify again to everybody - the issue here is me. Not the author at all. I do think it is a powerful & thought provoking piece - it's just my own opinion/issues. Sighs......

Do you think it's because you hope it will be different each time?

You know I'm dying to know what story it was

Uhm.. I don't think so cos this fic was not a recent one.

Would it be ok for me to reveal the fic here? I wouldn't want to offend anyone especially the author. Can I email you instead?

You can PM me?
