#Just been reading a crossover and despite the excellent concept and bearable grammar I couldn't get past the first chapter without SEVERAL #'he wouldn't ever say that' and copious amounts of what I can only describe as canon misinformation #FROM BOTH FANDOMS.#People acted like their second closest stereotype. Superpowers were always slightly but noticeably different from canon #Including having brand new names?? Like I'm all for slightly-to-the-left aus but it was played 100% canon straight #It was genuinely like the author had only read fanfiction of both fandoms from an alternate timeline.#Bizarre experience. Crying shame because from the tags and summary it looked fantastic (and no there was no ooc tag)#fanfiction #fanfics #ao3 fanfic #fanfiction memes #fanfic memes #ao3 memes
