Why?

Why is it that I start reading a fic, and even though I *know* by the third or fourth paragraph it's going to be a train-wreck, I keep on reading, to the bitter end? Is this some weird sado-masochistic thing? Can I have shots to cure it? A slap on the wrist? Something?

Why am I still reading this?

lol sometimes you just have to watch a train wreck all the way through--hauling the bodies away, getting the equipment out to clear the tracks, etc--just to remember how completely awful it is.

98% of the time, I can hit the back button, but occasionally there is something intriguing that keeps the finger just hovering over the button until the end.

It's just... It's not a long story. 18k words. It's taken me 3 days. THREE DAYS. And I still haven't finished it. I have to stop and scrub my brain every few paragraphs.

And yet I can't just close the damned browser and forget it. Argh!

now *that's* dedication! or insanity, but we'll just let that go for now. :)
