Whenever I see a fic that establishes a crossover between MLP and a franchise that I absolutely love, and would probably harm myself and others to promote (i.e., Gurren Lagann, Doctor Who, Fallout, Warhammer 40k, Josie and the Pussycats...don't judge me, you Philistines), I get really excited. And then really depressed, and then just a sort of confused muddle of feels.
Because I know, deep down, that I'll read it. And when I do, nine times out of ten, I'll want to drink bleach afterwards.
Please stop butchering these poor characters, authors. Or at least do it quietly and in the dark; that's at least a courtesy that Jack the Ripper managed to uphold.
Jesus Christ himself is weeping over this. Don't make the Lord of Hosts cry, guys.
Is this because of my newest story?

Nooooo.
I don't mind crossfics, and I like them a lot when they're done well; I probably have half a dozen Doctor Whooves fics favorited. It's just aggravating seeing them slaughtered by authors who don't care enough to take the time to write well.
