Since the Disappearing Fic? topic has drifted into a topic about change (or lack of change) in
Ranma, I'm starting another topic about something Bob mentioned. Bob couldn't find a fic he'd been reading. When he was pointed in the right
direction, he discovered that, after 10 chapters, the fic (named Photocopy) took a major change in direction and wasn't what he thought it was
after all ('jumped the shark' was the phrase used). As I recall, Bob said he isn't so enthusiastic about the fic now.
Who has had this happen to them? What fics drew you in, and then lost you later because of plot changes?
For me, there have been stories I started and dropped because I just didn't care for them from the outset (I was trying to give them a chance, but
couldn't deal with it), but I can't recall dropping a fic mid-stream because of an plot change (now watch someone correct me). What about you?
