It's really weird when you see a story come through on a list one day and you read a bit and decide that no, sorry, this is not what you like, and the dialogue's all off and weird and ick, and then a few weeks later some of your favourite artists recc it warmly.

Yeah, i'm talking about Grown. Georgina and Dacey both liked it, but I went back and read it and even though I am much with the JuNi-love, especially right now, I still can't say I like it. And I can't pinpoint the problem, either. (Althought the "dollface" thig is certainly part of it, for some reason.)

Oh, the story in and of itself isn't bad. It seems to be mostly the dialogue that struck me as weird and off and ... somewhat non-USAian, for some reason. (But then I'm hypersensitive about Britischisms, due to personal history in Metallica fandom.)
