One for the Siblinghood of Vat-Grown Humanoids...

I couldn't resist recapping this one...

A Rant of Unreasoning Hatred

*Ahem*

Dear Reccers. If, by chance, you should happen upon a story that is 77 FUCKING CHAPTERS LONG, and tout it as a 'must-read' for all fans of this or that pairing or genre... kindly state in said rec whether the FUCKING THING IS A FUCKING WORK IN PROGRESS PLEASE!!!!!

Because on no account would I have saved this FUCKING url, or began reading such a FUCKING TOME if I had known that it was unfinished, and that the last update on it had been more than a year ago! I feel somewhat cheated by this outcome of affairs, frankly, because I know my self, and my reading/logging habits. The author is not one of my favorites, which means I got the link from a reccing source, and since I do not knowingly read WIPs without very specific parameters, this was just about like getting handed a really great book by a trusted friend, only to find that the last half of it had been torn out before printing, and the damned thing went to press anyhow!

So yeah. Betrayed is about how this feels, on a mild scale of betrayal. Especially since I've spent two FUCKING days reading this thing, when I COULD have been writing something else. AND FINISHING IT!!!

(To all of you Reccers who already DO note the completed vs WIP status of your recs, thank you. Please continue this courtesy, as it is very helpful in not making my head go all 'splodey at random intervals.)
