Re: What are the fandoms you read fic for before watching/reading/playing the source material?

Arrow. I have a friend who is a huge Oliver/Felicity shipper and she writes fic for it. I thought her fics were great. She's a good writer and her fics were a nice blend of drama and humor. And her fics had me so intrigued. So I've spent the past few months marathoning the first couple of seasons and I just caught up over the weekend and... It is not at all what I expected.

I expected the Laurel character to be some over the top self righteous jealous woman who whines about everything from the way she wrote her and the way she talked about her and the Oliver/Felicity romance to be some epic romance. Imagine my surprise when Laurel turned out to be the best, most developed character on the show and her ''whining'' turned out to be legitimate depression. I also find both Oliver and Felicity to be extremely unlikeable characters and their '' epic romance'' is barely even a romance.

It's really disappointing because I loved her fics before but now that I know how OOC they are I can't read them.

Sorry for the rant. I had to get that off my chest. She's been asking me what I think since I finished marathoning the show and I have no idea what to tell her.

I actually do like Oliver and Felicity (though I agree that their romance is severely lacking in...romance) but I feel you so hard on your part about Laurel and I agree totally with it. Some of her character arc has been hard to watch, but I think it absolutely makes sense for her character. I didn't think I would like her terribly much at the beginning of the show, but she became one of my favorite characters and some of the scenes with her and her father are the best on the show imo.
