(cover letter for presenting my reviews of “`Breakfast in New
York`_” by Radaslab; `the first post`_ and `the second post`_)

I was rereading again “`Breakfast in New York`_” by Radaslab and
I don’t know for certain why it aggravates me so much. Certainly
there is the conflict between generally good and original plot
and tiring execution. The plot seems to be not completely
overused (at least in the HP-fanfiction universe) and it has
a potential to be rather nice romcom story. Of course, when
“romance”, “breakfast”, and “New York” are used together, one has
tendency to think about different breakfast_, but even that gives
the start of the story nice feeling of expectations. It is setup
for nice we-lost-each-other-and-now-we-found-us story (“When
Harry Met Sally”? Something of that sort), but it just broke down
on execution. I wrote two posts about it already:

* `the first post`_ or how to be brief and how not to write
  a Christian in your story

* `the second post`_ or how not to valiantly defeat a purpose of
  every story (also see this `explanation on the key character
  flaw`_).
