Like the fic went into a real bad direction.Common one is nice and sweet shipfic suddenly getting a adventure or villain plot from out of nowhere.Forgot to mention, the mood suddenly takes a 180 as a result.
I admit, I don’t consider a fic going in a new direction to be a bad thing in and of itself. Sometimes it can be cool if it’s handled well. My litmus test for a new direction being questionable is when the fic, very suddenly, is no longer telling the story that the summary promised.
Like, there was this one story where Trixie turned out to be Twilight’s illegitimate half-sister. It was a good one-shot fic. Then it had a sequel that was going to be about Trixie meeting Shining Armor, and the three siblings would work out their new family situation. There’s a little of that, but then midway into the story, Twilight and Shining Armor are possessed by evil spirits that had corrupted King Sombra in the past, and they capture Cadance. Trixie barely escapes, and then has to save them all. It was actually decent, but it wasn’t the story that we were promised.
