Do people like LadyJanelly's work/what do they like about it? I could never get into anything she wrote for some reason and I don't know why. Something about her stories just bother me.

I liked her homelessness verse. From the very beginning it was kind of weird (Tyler just dumps a dog on a stranger?), but it managed to do homeless fic without dipping into pointless melodrama too much. I liked the side characters best of all - she did a good job drawing them into realistic people without dwelling on them too long. Having said that, her stuff all reads better to me as origfic.

I really liked her homeless!Tyler verse, too. Didn't she also do a K/T D/s trope subversion fic? I seem to recall that she did and that I liked it, but I think she pulled it.

She put it back up with different characters. I didn't really like it, though. Lots of other people do, but I feel like it was kinda over-hyped.

You're not alone. I remember her from about ten years ago from Eminem fandom which was tiny and always desperate for fic - she was a competent writer yet something always rubbed me the wrong way. *shrugs*

I read the homeless fic on a recommendation from meme, and have reread it once, which is a thing I usually only do for rare pairs, but I don't follow her tumblr and haven't started reading the apocafic or whatever that she's posting.

I think most of what I like is that her OCs and ensemble characters seemed really sensibly human and imperfect, which was just enough of a foil for Tyler and Jamie's coping methods - a narrower gap that the usual Perfect Voice of Reason vs impossibly stupid miscommunication/pining.

My memory of her prose is that it was perfectly adequate, competently descriptive, and didn't get in the way of the story, which is by far what I prefer for a work of that length.
