kerravonsenWell, I've just found a combination of things that will cause me to stop reading a piece of fanfic, even if it's been recommended and the writing style isn't bad:
(a) Out of the blue, a main character flashing back to a memory of making love to another main character, when, in canon, they weren't a couple (though with the potential to be a couple, they weren't actually a couple).
(b) Too many Americanisms and American-centric-ness when the original series upon which the fanfic is based, is British.
I actually found the latter more irritating than the former; the first bit I can draw mental blinds over, the second is a bit hard to ignore when it keeps happening and happening and throwing me out of the story.
I'm not sure whether I should reveal the name of the offending fic or not.
