Oh god I TOTALLY DO THIS because I have that PROBLEM where all the ships I like are either freaking inundated OR the internet (THE FREAKING INTERNET) has barely heard of them. According to previous conversation, YOU FEEL MY PAIN.
But whenever I do this — try something terrible-to-mediocre because I know it contains a thing I like and desperately need — it's just. ugh. I can't enjoy it? I know some people can and I envy them. I just cannot set aside my awareness of the quality to get a fix of much-needed-thing. why ._.
There's actually this one fic in particular which EMBODIES this post for me. It is CHOCK FULL of things I ADORE and so many people love it, but I just CANNOT enjoy it at all because of the execution. I WANT to enjoy it. If I could get past the execution it would be like my favourite damn fic in this fandom. But I cannot have the fun these other people are having! WHY CAN' I HAVE THEIR FUN ._.
