That fandom seems pretty decidedly toxic.

I liked the storyline as well.

[(Anonymous)]

I had mixed feelings about the story line, personally. If only because we see that maybe her father doesn't deserve those feelings from Annie.

On the other hand, you are right about the sentiments on the forum. I feel like a lot of readers didn't understand that many do cut off their feelings like Annie. It's definitely not unique.

I love the arc of Annie's relationship with her father; it's very painfully realistic. Too many readers want the quick satisfaction of her cutting him out of her life or telling him off for being such a big bad abusive shithead, but honestly? I hate storylines that go that way, because real life rarely goes that way.

Being young and trying to hold onto a relationship that means something to you in spite of how messy and imbalanced it is, especially with a parent, is something many can relate to; maybe they don't realize yet that they're being hurt and don't have to hurt, maybe they DO and are struggling for a sense of control and normalcy because they want to fight for a healthy relationship.

Stories where the person hurting another is a cardboard cutout of an abuser aren't satisfying. They don't communicate the difficulty of being in those kinds of relationships. They don't communicate the duality you're fighting while you're in them. And they RARELY communicate that you CAN repair a relationship with someone who has hurt you.

I'm glad Gunnerkrigg Court stands out in contrast to trite revenge-fantasy stories like that.
