What Makes You Drop A Fic? (kbin.social)

I do not mean SPAG issues or things you consider bad writing/storytelling. What is something which is not actually a problem that you just don't enjoy to the point where you would drop a fic you were enjoying?

I was considering this, because if a premise interested me in the first place, the biggest reasons I could think to ever drop it would be too many grammar issues or characters suddenly feeling OOC (in my opinion).

Outside of those or untagged triggers though... I considered how I might actually stop reading a story that goes by too fast and doesn't let the reader explore characters' reactions to things. Even if the characters still act like you would expect them too afterward. I like diving into characters' feelings and motivations too much.

Oh, conversations about what people want from relationships, be they friendship, romantic, family, are great! I think they tend to come up more in non-traditional relationships IRL, whereas the run of the mill "heteronormative romance equalling marriage plus kids" dynamic tends to have very little introspection/interrogation of assumptions (this is totally my opinion). It's great to see when writers/creators bring those often ignored conversations into more traditional relationships on the page imo because they're inextricably linked to consent.
