I guess I'm just a little insatiable: I always want a little more. But it's funny how reading certain authors all at once can change the experience of reading one invidually. I read Marguerite (I think?) all at once, and while her stories are different plot-wise, they were very thematically similar, so it was very easy to get sick of them after awhile.
Yeah, I know what you mean. I think that's why I try to mix it up and pace myself. I'd like to have a well fleshed-out recs list if I can, and I don't want to miss out on anything.
There's little more frustrating to me than lost fic! I just! Ugh.
I KNOW. And lost!fic by Penumbra? I need to go cry in the corner now.
I think a lot of the angst fic in this fandom, however well written, gets tired pretty fast because it's so easy to work with that. Don't get me wrong though, some of my favorite favorites are built around the angst of everything, it's just... nice to find something that can make you smile without making you gag.
Exactly. That said, I think that's also why I try and pace myself. That way, I can have plenty of great angsty fic, without it being overkill, you know?
