That makes me want to vomit and I don't ever feel nauseous while reading. At least, until that story.
Wyldon is married and has children, for Mythros's sake! A Scanran attack in winter? That's fricking impossible in this continuum! The books clearly stated that the only thing that happened at winter during the Scanran War was the reports from Daine's spies! Also, isn't Wyldon about thirty or forty years her senior? Erg. That's pushing the limits of my gag reflex.
Modern AUs are disturbing. I tend to not like any of them, except parodies.
The AU I found made Kel's eyes change back and forth between hazel and green (but only green when she is in wuv wid pwecious Jorwen). It also made Joren's family "oh so horrible, unchaste, and controlling" and made Joren look like a crappy knight. The Suethor said basically that he stunk at everything but swordplay, which wasn't true in the books. This is an AU, but still... You'll all love this about it, too: Because Joren is supposedly dyslexic, Kel gets to "tutor" him, and both Kel and Wyldon practically state that "all those who have dyslexia are stupid". I about snapped at that point. That is just wrong, wrong, wrong. Kel and Neal kiss, Cleon gets dissed, and Joren survives the Ordeal. But what really ticked me off in the first place were three things: There are over sixty chapters in the story, Dom gets beat by Joren in a swordfight while Kel watches, and there are, on average, about fifteen quotes from the books per chapter. All in all, it's confusing to read, (although there's not that bad of writing), stupid to read, and completely contradictory of the books. I hope Tammy never finds it. It would scare her.
