At the time, I rather liked the first half of HPMOR, because I thought it was going somewhere and it was taking the piss at Harry Potter. I also enjoy fiction where people aren't idiots for sake of the plot, so I was enjoying a bit of deconstruction of that.
And then it just... Stopped the story and spun in place for what should have been the second half of the book and turned into drivel that takes itself very seriously.
I may have even told people to read it. I'm so sorry.
