amalthiaFinally, only three more days and I'll be done with the frustration of reading Three Fates (not giving the link because honestly don't want anyone else to feel tortured, I figured everyone else who's already started the story is kind of screwed anyway)
um a friend described reading this story like watching a movie for 10-15 minutes then stopping it for 24 hours before watching the next 15 minutes...honestly I'm not sure what the authors are using as their criteria for stopping points but back when I started this fic I figured they were going to post in 10,000 words increments (which is LJ's max word limit?) and I started the story because 10,000 words is a decent sized story for a day, but the authors are instead posting 2,000 and 3000 word parts, sometimes 6000 words. Basically i think this story could have been over and done with a week ago.
So anyway, I'm going to be glad to finally be at the end and I can stop feeling frustrated and annoyed at the end of each part. (I know I should stop and just wait to the end, but come on, if I had that kind of self control I never would have started the story in the first place)
The story is decent, however the way I've been reading it, there's like no dramatic tension and if there is, it's gone by the next day. So if you haven't started, please keep waiting until the story is finished. I'm sure it'll be a really good story if you can read it in one go or however long it takes you to read a 100,000 word novel.
I know I already said this but as far as I'm concerned the story is mostly ruined for me. I'm going to have to wait a year before I re-read it and see if it gets any better.
edit: ate some food, gave some thought about this post, and realized I'm kind of bitchy and complain a lot.
