There's a really popular teen wolf fic writer who I can't stand the writing of, and I know there are podfics of her stuff (like I said, really popular, and even when popular writers aren't my thing I don't usually find them unreadable).

I'm going to try this. I feel weird saying who it is though, so we'll never know if it was the same one!

It's not the same one. I wasn't aware that fic was so popular, actually :\

OP.

When I was first getting into the fandom I swear I saw this fic recommended everywhere. And then I checked out the AO3 stats (700+ comments, 2000+ kudos, 600+ bookmarks-- which is amazing for AO3), and was pretty much convinced after that.

It's not, like, terribly written or anything. It's just that the writing is somewhat awkward and not really all that solid, so I had a hard time getting into it. I enjoyed the podic, so obviously the fic was good. It was just the written form that bothered me for the aforementioned reasons.

But considering its popularity, my opinion is obviously in the minority.


Anyway, I'm beyond curious to know what fic you're referring to, BTW.

I think taking AO3 popularity as a gauge of fic quality is a mistake in TW fandom. I feel like it's the first fandom to really converge on AO3, so you can get insane numbers of hits on things that, in any other fandom, wouldn't be exceptional. ESPECIALLY IF THEY ARE WIPS

I'm not a fan of entanglednow, but I don't think it's awkward writing. I just saw her stuff recced so much I forced myself to read it, and her plots/characterizations really don't work for me. It's possible a good podfic could change that.

I'm starting to get that. I have conflicted feelings about that, tbh. On one hand, as a Kindle user I LOVE AO3 (as it generally makes my life easier). On the other hand, I really don't want it to become another FFN.

As for Entanglednow... her TW fic "By Any Other Name" is another (popular) story I had to listen to as a podfic because I couldn't make it through the actual fic itself. And it's not that it's poorly written or anything. I just couldn't, for some reason.

I really liked her fic "Lock All The Doors Behind You" (but then I love feral!Derek fic, so I'm probably biased), and her "Milkshakes and Matchsticks" series was good, too. I'm iffy about the rest of her fics, though. To me, her works tend to be really hit or miss (not just TW fic, either).

Ohh that is interesting as entanglednow is one of my favorite TW authors, right behind trilliath. I guess it's really all just preference.

Oh, is this fandom where she's hanging out now? I loved some of her Supernatural stuff, and I've really missed her writing.

+1

Entanglednow is pretty much my fave author in TW fandom.
