Random Fic Thought/Question
So I was reading some fics the other day, and this thought occurred to me:
There are certain things that can totally turn me off about a story, even if it's something I have really liked right up until that point. For me, if at any point the characters feel the need to clarify their relationship, perhaps by saying, "So are we dating now?" or "Does this make you my girlfriend?", then I am out.
I just totally lose interest in a story at that point. This holds true for any fandom I read fics in.
Do other people have this trigger, (without being specific about stories or authors - this isn't to bash anyone's writing), or am I the only one?

no subject
And yes, I can see a point she might call him by his first name - she has at least introduced him that way before, and 'Sir Seeley Booth'd him... and maybe in recognition of him calling her Temperance. But Booth calling her Tempe *shakes head* NO!!
