Stoopid fluff.
Ever have one of those cravings where you HAVE to have something you remember loving at one time, remember it being delicious and satisfying -- only to try it and realize your tastes have changed so much that you completely over-shot the mark?
Yeah, had one of those. I had a craving to read something romantic while I was waiting for orders to come in this morning. Naturally, my mind wanders back to Sailor Moon fanfiction and reminiscing about how I used to love the drama and romance and fun of those fics.
I also remember the horrific characterizations, the rampant cliches and weak WEAK plots.
My standards for fanfiction have narrowed GREATLY since those first fanfic-reading frenzies in college. I was reminded by just how much when I went to read what was considered a GOOD SM fic-- only to find myself gagging on cliches and sugar over-dose. Oh, and reminding myself why I despise 99% of non-yaoi romance fics. Hell, why I despise 75% of YAOI romance, too. Started okay and quickly spiraled into "No, I love YOU more" and marriage proposals.
Shoot me now.
Nothing kills a craving better than over-doing it with the first bite. I need to go find something dark and violent.
