agilebritIt's like every slash badfic cliche rolled into one steaming mass of crap! Un-spellchecked, check. Angel, Spike, and Gunn, massively out of character? Check. Crappy punctuation, check. Words not capitalized that should be? Check. Run-on sentences, check. Lame dialogue, check. Run-on sentences in lame dialogue? Check.
Angel and Spike with snuggles and teddy bears? Check. Lame plot device to get the Spangely love interests together? Check.
Why do I care, you ask? What makes this any worse than 90% of the rest of the badfic that FFN gets inundated with every day?
Funny, that.
Because it's the same person who told me to "gain some talent."
What's even funnier is that the last line of the fic is this:
WHAT DO YOU THINK SHOULD I KEEP WRITING OR NO?
NO!
And the funny just keeps on coming, because she posted it nine days ago...and has no reviews. Not a single one.
I love the smell of sweet justice in the afternoon...
ETA: I wasn't kidding about the teddy bears. There's a literal teddy bear in the fic. Which Angelus(!) gave to Spike, once upon a time before the whole soul thing happened. No lie.
