Do you guys know what is depressing? When you read a fic that everybody and their grandmother are recommending and you just. Can't. Like. It
( Read more... )
That happens to me a LOT, where everybody is raving about a story and I just don't get it. But I never feel comfortable saying anything about it, because that's kind of mean and also, who cares what I think? If other people love it, more power to 'em.
I can think of at least a four or five stories off the top of my head where that has happened, but I always feel bad about saying anything. Although I'm sure there are stories that I love that make other people say the same, so.
My opinion is LAW. LAW, I SAY. Minions, write me some gsf! :D
Minions are very important. Too bad mine are so unruly.
I know the feeling. The other day I read a Jon/Ryan fic and I was all, "and then they'll invite Spencer and Brendon and Ryan will get over himself where Spencer and sex is concerned and they'll be one big happy gay family!" I mean, really, gsf is the way to go with these boys. It's the law, yo.
You had me at "panic gsf." I'm sure that's a big surprise. :D
Also, I know what you mean about fic sometimes. There have definitely been "big" stories posted and I can't get into them. But luckily there are also a million stories I CAN get into and want to stay in forever, basically.
Huge surprise! Other people than me see the gay? Gasp! (Bee accused me last night of being brainwashed by slashing because I said I saw subtext between John Lennon and Paul McCartney in A Hard Day's Night. Piffle, say I. They were so doing it. *g*)
There have been a couple, yeah -- I can think of some bigbang just recently that made me scratch my head -- but as I said to Kali up there, there are probably a good chunk of stories that I've saved to my delicious that other people hate.
I knooooow. I love it. I just reread the first few chapters of The Lines You Amend the other day and I was like, "HOW are they not sleeping together?" My brain keeps supplying gsf shenanigans to completely innocent scenarios. Poor boys. *laughs*
THIS IS A GOOD SCENARIO. Except possibly that it takes them years to realize that they're already married, but otoh they're stupid, I can't expect anything less. It would be pretty awesome, though. I keep imagining Brian's face when he finds out (and he's all, "Brendon is cheating on Ryan! With Spencer! Woe!" in my head for some reason), and it is a good face. *g*
Er, on topic, I am always really sad when someone starts raving about a story I just can't get into. There was at least one BBB where I started it because EVERYONE LOVED IT and 12,000 words in I still didn't care. Um. I still feel guilty. :(
IT DIDN'T HELP. Which we're all VERY HAPPY about, thank you.
I KNOW. Jesus, the BBB. There were a couple of them that EVERYBODY loved, but left me completely blank. I don't feel guilty so much as just bummed that it didn't work for me. :/

Every Panic story I read ends in GSF in my head anyway, people should just save me the trouble and write it in the first place. *nods*
