usually, when reading fic, i am capable of seperating my writer's mind from my reader's mind, which is why i can adore stories like Iolokus, even though they alter the characters profoundly. but Jess has "plunked herself spang in the middle of it. No passive-aggressive MarySue, she appears under her real name and reveals her own story ambitions and secret fantasies." this makes it impossible to seperate writer's mind and reader's mind, because the fic is actively engaging both.
Yes, that's it exactly! I couldn't take off my writer's hat! Thank you!
