What made people mad about this? I'm sort of confused actually. It is OOC, it doesn't portray either Sayaka or Homura in a good light, but I mean it's not like the original work doesn't already touch on those things. It's not like it isn't true that Sayaka has a dark side to her which when placed in a different world could manifest in even more hurtful ways. It's not like Homura hasn't done fucked up, selfish shit to trap Madoka. So while I would not want to reread this or even like it, I think it is compelling for exploring those sides of them in an exaggerated setting with the circumstances built for it.
It was still really gross though when Sayaka basically rapes Hitomi. And Kyouko would NOT have just grabbed Sayaka and kissed her after the bullshit Sayaka was pulling on her. In a work of OOC characters I think she was the most OOC. "It doesn't bother me at all" my ass. She's the one who chases after Sayaka's witch demanding to know if it wasn't Sayaka who had believed in heroes and justice or whatever.
Oh well. I still like it for being one of those "let's see how fucked up the characters can get" stories.
