When sleeping isn't an option, I find badfic

...And boy, is this one a doozy.

Do people around here remember Rose Pearse? She who declared all people who criticized her fic misscam? (For those who don't, my collation of her epic crazy can be found here, or briefly summed up here.

In any case, since the first series of the Tenth Doctor is over she has decided to celebrate that...by giving Ten his own series of fanfic on her charming site. And the story which spins it off her main story is a doozy.

Ten (how original).

It's... spectacularly bad. Also, it makes Nine out to be right selfish bastard (and seems to have missed the whole "The Doctor doesn't settle down" thing the series went into), Rose into an immature brat a million times worse than even Rose-haters would ever call the canon one, treats her own OC horribly, and despite the fact the story is set up to be a cse of Ten as the bad guy who does something good, so our saintly heroes deign to forgive him, does a better job of making him look like a complete saint for being nice to these twats.

Oh, and her use of thermodynamics makes me want to weep.

It's just that... the lack of not just plot but character study or anything useful makes it seem like a chapter or something, yeah.

But... even Rose. Mickey totally tells her to get naked in the first episode. Joking though he may be, he slaps her on the arse and tells her "kit off". And I wonder what she thought Rose was doing with Jimmy Stones (because, really, he doesn't sound like the type of guy to date someone saving herself).

She's really writing fic in the wrong era. *sigh*

She is a married Irish Catholic. Apparently this explains it. Or something, I am not entirely sure.

But writing characters to reflect your own personal morality? Not the best way to keep them IC.

[melata-fic.livejournal.com]

It explains it, but doesn't justify her decision to write them that way.

I always thought fanfiction wasn't supposed have that sort of forced agenda. I mean, there's the biblefic, but I'm not even sure about that.

Well, most people know that you shouldn't project your own opinions and morality on characters if you want your fanfic to be IC. Rose Pearse, however, is not most people.

I personally can't stand agendafic, anyway.

Agendafic makes me wonder why they posted it. Sometimes, it's a little embarrassing.
