Work internet filter has detected ADULT MATERIAL from word_games. I can see some of the fics but not all. [A Dance with the Chrysanthemum] definitely not accessible. I feel sort of... accomplished. XD
I... I just remembered that Tezuka has a bonsai tree and it's called Marilyn. And this fact is so old it shouldn't be funny, but it is. What's happening to me?
Struck by a random urge to read PoT fic, I clicked on an old one that a lot of people said is brilliant but I never read because I wasn't interested in the pairing.
................it's okay. It's fine. There's plot and characterisation and grammar. But the pace is slack and the build up quite weak and the plot not very exciting. And perhaps I have longer memory than others or actually read more carefully because I spotted repeated phrasings and descriptions which were not done intentionally to make a point, more like the author didn't have enough of a range of ways to talk about things. I wouldn't call the fic brilliant. Am I expecting too much? Or maybe that pairing - not a major one but not unpopular either - simply didn't have great authors so anything that's "fairly good" automatically is "amazing"?
