I'd have to say written for romance fics... or movies, or stories, or whatever.
I don't mean fics with a romance subplot, I mean the entire point of the fic is to make a couple into a couple. A major reason is that the rest of the plot is poured in around this should be bit plot or the plot mostly icing on hagis. I like the icing... but why the hagis? Why is there so much hagis involved? I went in expecting a cake and got hagis.
Worse is when the summery sounds intreging... and they gloss over that part for the couple (or harem). In addition, even if the plot gets moving and intresting this fics ignore it for 40 pages of craptastical mush. Meanwhile the plot dies of starvation or drowns in the sugary mush... or slips into a diabetic coma for a few months.
Added fun is X with ... pole. Thats right you made an intresting story that kept my attention for a few chapters... lets let an abruptly inmportant plot point be choosen by the ramblings reviews proclaiming their slavering devotion to their favorite charicter.
Few things are more infuriating than good story abruptly crashing into a fawning relationship that came out of nowhere.
As long as we are discusing infurating abrupt charicter interaction halting the plot... I noticed Tolkien mentioned. I couldn't reasd Tolkien everytime I got involved every in the story that infernal bard drop kicked my attention span.
*rants off into the distance about pandering to English Majors, something about adding in a charicter only they like and proclaim the story ruined without the bard*
