Why this must be read: Another Post Gauda Prime story from Vila's point of view (first person this time), where the Scorpio Crew have survived but as prisoners of the Federation. This time the action takes place almost immediately after theend of the final series episode, and it's even harsher than 'Cross The Border'. Extreme hurt with no comfort in sight.

Dissecting Justice.

On the same site is the Marian Mendez penned sequel, for those wanting a happier ending: True Justice

I'm not sure you can ascribe authorial intent that easily. And I think there *was* a point to the fic, as I said in my previous reply to you.

IMHO the point was there, yes, but the story wasn't written well enough to illustrate it in the way I see it done in good authors' fics. The wallowing in the torture just ruined the point for me, as if it was screaming it over and over again, *yawn*.

Anyway, I know you and I disagree on authorial indulgence in personal tastes and kinks. I can't say I'm not guilty of indulging in those myself, not by far. It's just that I'm hypersensitive to them when I see them in others' fics, *especially* when the writing is unpolished and probably unbetaed (or betaed but the author hasn't wanted to develop as a writer). It's really a badfic cliche.
