Not quite satisfying . . .
Do you ever read fanfic that has a really good premise, but is really badly executed? And keep reading, through all the bad stuff, just because there's some redeemable quality there?
There are fic that have a great idea, but the author does a horrible job writing it, either because they suck or because they're young or because it's their first fanfic. I'll read the story anyway because I'm too intrigued by the idea of it to mind the florid, melodramatic dialogue or prose; I'll skip whole sections and I wince at certain lines, but I keep reading because I just wanna see the idea written out. But in the end it's frustrating because the story could be so much more.
It makes me wish I had some talent at writing (which I really, really don't) just so I could do justice to some of these wonderful plot bunnies.
