I'm so glad to see that people get involved in making such a list :) Somebody made a similar post, compiling all Other Character POV fics - which are one of my biggest kinks - in a neat list with links and all, and it was extremely helpful. I think that in character fics deserve something similar.
I have to admit, I actually hate most "anti" stories, but anti-Michael are one of those that piss me off the most. I know that Michael tends to be prissy and petty and generally annoying, but underneath it all, he's such a good and caring person. He's also like, the only one from the gang that felt even a little responsible for Justin at the very beginning of the show, and that was when he was crazily jealous of him. I think that speaks more about him than everything he ever said.
Anti-Ethan stories... It depends. I've read quite a few, but I didn't enjoy them as much as I thought I would. In the end, I found myself wanting to read something where Ethan and Justin break up not because of the out-of-blue cheating (like, huh?) but just because. I really wish that the writers handled Ethan differently. He was a very big break-through for both Justin and Brian, but I believe there could be much more interesting, angsty material when he was involved.
Sorry for the rant, I get like that a lot :) And thank you for the rec! If you have a link to this story somewhere, it would make it much easier for me to later put it on the list :)
