The Buzzcut Effect

(Coined by an anonymous user.) When a fanfic author all of the sudden changes their chosen fanfiction's main topic, losing the main reason why people want to read it.

dude i was reading a fic right? i only came for the porn and fluff that they had every chapter and all of the sudden the author did the buzzcut effect and just turned it into psychological horror!
