I still haven't finished; I'm going down the skimming route at this point. But I do totally, whole-heartedly agree with this:

Having the two realities bleeding together was beyond annoying. There was no remotely believable explanation for it, and no reason for it. Instead, I wish she'd focused on creating fully realized, rich AU characters, done more world-building, and made this into a genuine romance--one that didn't need The X-Files TV universe as an excuse for the characters to fall in love and be together.

If this story typified msr stories, I, too, would have to be a gen person. Or perhaps a non-fanfic person.
