Oh thank god someone said it. I seriously thought it was just me. I've been in fandom for almost four years (sad but true) and as of late I've been sampling DA fics. For some reason, with DA I have problems finding fics I enjoy reading-which is definitely odd for me. If it wasn't the overtly psychotic Logan, it was the grammer (and I'm talking, reall bad, what the hell are you trying to say grammer here), and if it wasn't that it was the boring characterization. I'm used to fandoms making characters more interesting than they actually are, or just making me care enough about what happens to them within the plot.

Yes, out of everything else I hate character bashing. It reminds me way to much about my early years of Gundam Wing yaoi fics, and the epidemic of relena bashing. I can understand when someone wants to make someone evil, but there's a difference between making a character the bad guy, and completely alterning their character beyond recognition. I've read several fics that I've enjoyed, but failed to finish just because of that. I'm not trying to be a snob, it's just it's really distracting, and makes me lose interest in what's going on.

On that note, you wouldn't happen to have any DA recs would you? ^_^' Sorry! I know it's weird, but I liked your DA rec, and would love to read more of your suggestions. Thanks!
