Not so bad if they do it within their writing repertiore, I find it such a nightmare when they switch genre in a book - like WTF? They think it propels a story on, but sometimes it really screws it up. Or am I just annoyed with wanna-be writers on AO3?
There has been some staggeringly GOOD writing; there was one called 'Jam Tomorrow' and was a rework of 'Bluebeard' very Jeanette Winterson/Angela Carter mashup. Some clearly need an agent, you knoe?
Others, however - bad. Painfully so.
The worst one was a 'Who/lock' with Mycroft pregnant. That was definitely 'toes-digging-through-your-shoes-and-into-the-carpet' bad, which saw me flinching throughout.
The subject matter wasn't so much the squick - it was continual one liner paragraphs that were banal as f**k with such dreary prose. If it was intelligent and moderately well-written (in the same vein that Moffat seems to have achieved), then I wouldn't have had a problem with it.
