I don't cope well with seeing characters with whom I identify put in a position of powerlessness and degredation and humiliation --
I've come to realize that I'm kind of the same way when it comes to certain types of humor fics. I like a good humor fic but I'm never comfortable with the ones that involve humiliating a character in some way. The higher the level of humiliation, the less I like that story. I tend to take them personally depending on how they're handled - like if the writer has the other characeters ganging up to tease the one (I've had first hand experience of being on the reciving end of that kind of teasing during my Middle School years and it was -not- fun. So even if the character teased deserved it, I still don't find it that funny.)
So I know how it is. Powerlessness of any kind if frustrating to witness. So Castles is probably best read all at once.
