Yep, I think I know this feeling. Beyond the obvious avoid at all costs things, I'm picky and sometimes I'll read stories by auhors whose style I admire, and the fic is well written but my god, their take on the characters feels jarringly off kilter in relation to my lens, or I feel like the fic is telling me lies about the characters. In extreme cases it's a knee jerk feeling of slander! And wondering if we even have looked at the same source text. Or that the author is diminishing the characters by going too OTT or arguing their own meta via fic with an argument I can't buy.
