Well, I won't be the one to woo you over to the dark side cause I don't read near enough B/A (someone get chrisleeoctaves over here)

Heh, she's here! [livejournal.com profile] chrislessoctaves is one of my favorite fanfic authors ever. And some of her fics have included one or two of the things that tend to peeve me about B/A fics, and she used them in a way that makes me wonder how it could ever peeve me at all, because she has reasons and logic and eloquence and beauty behind her writing.

Not that I'm not all for melodrama but, meh, I don't think I've read enough of the right stuff.

I'm going to try to do a rec list for people who don't normally read B/A.

okay. totally cringing right now because I did that. TOTALLY did that in the one and only B/A that I've ever written.

Don't cringe! 1) It's just my opinion and lots of other people are into it. 2) Like I said, almost all of those things have been used in fics I think were excellent, and it wasn't always the case that the fics were excellent in spite of these elements--sometimes these very same things were part of what I loved. It's just amazing how many places that line shows up, you know?

Now. Give me the link to that fic. Please?
