Well, I am upset at the moment. I read 120,000 words of an awesome Predator fan fiction. I was seriously enjoying it as the best piece of fanfiction I have ever read. It even trumped the previous one from last year I never thought would be beaten.
However, as the second act of the story concluded the writer seemed to take stupid pills and read a magazine article stating
The author seemed to take this as perfect reasoning to kill off the heroine. But it doesn't end there! The heroine was killed off in the most ludicrous of scenario's with little thought. Then the god of death appeared for no reason made a pact with the main hero to let her live in exchange for something and instead the God of death took the hero's eye and pissed off with eh heroines soul anyway. What the fuck?
Ok now my upsetness doesn't even end there. The chapter begins with one of the more interesting minor characters dying then the bitchy minor character takes the place of the interesting minor character, blows a councilman's head off for no reason. The guy she blows the head off of was a minor character with barely any airtime. He was more background and there was no reason she would have blown his head off and left the two councilmen that were actually plotting her death and what not.
And I'm still not done. Some one even miscarried for the second time in the same chapter! Four deaths! Four deaths! One is enough of a blow, two is really heart breaking but we're talking about Four!!!!
I mean we've already lost half the interesting cast and had a couple of replacements that were less interesting come by. Sometimes the back stories are going all over the place and what the hell was that bit at the beginning and middle when the deity and the guy who controls the universes thoughtpaths both tell the main hero that he has to keep the heroine safe because there's something she must do. And why the fuck did the deity give the heroine a "gift" that she was supposed to use later on that is not useless because shes dead!
Seriously what was the point of setting up that character only to kill her off because a magazine article told you too? And it doesn't even say to kill her off! It says "This darkest moment is when everything goes to ruin and we fear for the protagonist’s life..." Fears for life! No kills off life! Geezus! Freakin hell! Now the story is left with 6 old men that just bicker all day and want to execute people, a bitch that blows up peoples heads for no reason and a main hero that has a schitzo personality and the writer can't seem to decided whether he is psychic one minute or not.
That heroine was the best bit in the story. She was holding it all together and giving the other characters reasoning as well as character development.
Geezus fucking christ! I don't think I can read the final act. It is especially lacking in female characters and intrigue anymore. I'm just going to go and kick the shit out of something on xbox.

“This darkest moment is when everything goes to ruin and we fear for the protagonist’s life….the airplane is out of fuel, and the parachutes turn out to be 20 years old and made of rotting cloth, for example. But the protagonist prevails, surviving when we thought he was doomed. He puts the challenge behind him. Or so we think. This is the beauty of the end of the second act: what feels like a finale is in fact a set-up to the third and final act.” – Writer’s Digest, Apr 2007, 68.
