Of fics...

Did it ever happen to you that you were reading a fic and you thought "great, awesome" and then suddenly, the author introduced a character/plot twist and you suddenly literally screeched to a halt and totally lost interest in the fic?

I remember a fic like that in the Gundam Wing fandom, back then, in the old days ;P In the story, Duo was a banshee and I enjoyed it very much but then the author turned it into a Harry Potter Xover and I just couldn't read another frickin' line of that thing. My little me dislikes Harry Potter with the intensity of seven suns, you see X( *sigh* Oh, well...

Fic recs!
Supernatural - I finally started reading the big bang fics! Go me ;P
GEN --> "weathercock snowfall (starlight cockcrow)" by kroki_refur. Dean's got three weeks to live, and Sam's acting like a freakin asshole. And hey, it's not like that's never happened before, but this is a little too much like history repeating for Dean's liking. Awesome! Words: 27.000.

Stargate Atlantis:
MCSHEP --> "That Pon Farr Thing" by chelle. John suffers from seizures and only Rodney's touch can make them stop. Yes, I do love to see Sheppard suffer, sue me XP. Words: 10.000+.

Sure, when the character/plot twist is bad. I hate it when things suddenly turn ludicrous and characters start feeling OOC out of nowhere - which is more of a developmental problem with the story than anything.

I hate it when characters are OOC without any explanation or cause. I mean, when - for example - Sam is raped and tortured, he will behave differently after that, that's understandable. But when Sam suddenly feels the urge to wear girly clothes and call Dean "honey"... *head/desk*
