It's a shame, I personally wouldn't mind reading a fanfic where L turns evil (more than he already is, that is), but the execution leaves much to be desired. There are too many plot holes, L and Light are mutated into Possession and Villain Sues (seriously, why would the Shinigami King give them immunity to the Death Note, if indeed he even has the power to do that? And why the hell would L kill all the kids at Wammy's [never mind HOW the hell he could have pulled that off], but let Mello and Matt live?), L's fall from grace is in itself out of character for all parties, and it seems to me that the author was more focused on her favorite ships (L/Light, Matt/Mello) than on actual plot.
Not to mention, the Misa-bashing has gotten quite stale in this fandom. Matter of fact, she probably would've made things more interesting if she'd joined the two of them.
There's a part of me that wishes she'd pick this back up again, if only to see how she would straighten this out. I'd love to see something like Sayu and Halle and Soichiro putting these two in their place, or maybe the whole thing would be an act L put up to finally expose Light, and Matsuda, Mello and Matt were all in on it. Something like that.
But maybe it's for the best that it's dead. What a waste.
Interesting Concept, Trashy Execution
