Oh, sweetness! I think I see. Feel versus Think can be extremely troublesome because it's usually such a gut reaction that translating that into words is uber difficult. That I understand. Totally. I gots those moments and when I read things that just don't ring true despite the obvious effort it can be rather frustrating, sort of What the Hell are you watching kind of a connection because it's obviously not the same thing as me. But on such a deeper level, maybe because the author is actively attempting to mask a dislike for the character. Those are characters that I just don't even TRY to write because I can't even find a seam to sneak in through.

And, for the record, you're definitly NOT being bitchy. We've all got the hot button issues and the things that work or don't work for us on a variety of levels, some closer to the surface (and therefore more easily conveyed) and some just deep in the tar pit of emotion.

Reading LKH's Danse Macbre left me with that very distinctive bad taste in the mouth. Ron Weasley in the movie adaptation of Chamber of Secrets was another big one.

When I'm feeling uncharitable towards a fic characterization I usually toss it before I finish it. It grates too much to continue.
