Re: ITT: Instant backbuttons in fic

I usually love to talk about my favorite hated epithets and the prevalence of bruder in an otherwise all english language fic, so I'll try to find new material.

It's kind of subjective and I don't know if I will succeed in explaining this well, but it's been bothering me more and more lately. Some fics seems to go through an info dump phase before settling into the story, kind of like, Character x sat on his bed and thought about what a great day it had been. He had done X, Y, and Z, and everyone laughed and his jokes.

Sometimes the writing smooths out and it turns out to be a good fic. And I feel kind of bad about how much it annoys me, because I know how hard beginnings can be to write. But my patience for how long I can take it before opting out is getting less and less. (I hope this made some sort of sense, please ignore me if not.)
