I've never read fan-fiction before, so I was a bit lost at some of the acronyms and the extensive amount of time dedicated to that side of the story, but overall I thought this was a cute story. I did think it paralleled the end of Game of Thrones TV show a bit too closely... the hyphenated male lead; the showrunners with names that started with the same letter; the rage of dedicated book-readers that were disappointed with the ending; etc. I liked April and Marcus both, but the chemistry didn't leap off the page for me. Marcus just seemed sooooo bland, while April was so vivid and well-written. I'm looking forward to reading Alex's story when it comes out.

Its felt very flat to me... like for every hurdle in the plot, they acknowledge for like half a second and they then describe how hot and attracted they are.

DNF. Idk man, this was just not it for me. Maybe it's because the male lead was too weird of a crossover between Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and Jaime Lannister that made it uncomfy, maybe it's just because the culture of fandom community just gives me the ick. (Not to say that I don't love me some fandom media and the people who like it, but it's the obsessives—like our MC here—who just...make me like stuff less, sorry, I said it.) This probably was gonna be a sweet little romance when I got into it, if I got into it, but I couldn't, it required too much suspension of disbelief and, frankly, I think I hit the nail on the head with the "ick" comment.
