this ever happen to you?
I'm in a bit of a quandary. I've recently finished reading a fic that was well written, plot well constructed, characters in cannon, but I really didn't like it.

Anyone else find this happen to them when they read a fic?

Just a note - Brian and Justin were together at the end.

It's because it's not well written. I just read the first section and I haven't clue what's going on, which is thoroughly annoying. Some writers confuse suspense for confusion. Suspense is created when we KNOW what's happening and have a strong preference for the way things turn out.

And it doesn't *feel* IC either. Like I said, I don't really understand what is happening. From what I gather though, it's Justin walking out of Daphne's apartment. There's no time in the show's history when Justin walking out on Daphne ever happens, or would ever be of any primary focus if it did.

you do have to put the pieces together, but if it will help

season 3 post-ethan, Justin and Daphne are living together
Daphne is pregnant as a result of a night of drinking and getting high, Brian is the father. The fic is Justin's reaction an emoting/emotion about it all.

It's disturbing.

I've actually read that. I agree it's disturbing. It don't agree that it's IC, though. I think there's enough in the plot to make the plot and characters very OOC. I also think that it's bad writing when the reader has to piece things together that the characters already know. It's annoying and serves no purpose. I also didn't like how she had a replacement Justin. Weird.
