It's reasonably well-constructed, but takes all the worst elements of Marvel's Civil War event, and piles on tons of angst and tragedy, people turning on each other for no reason, and ends with a good chunk of the Earth's population, including a number of heroes, being tormented in Hell for quite possibly all eternity. The situation and characters are twisted out of all logic in order to force "drama." I hate this thing more than Agony in Pink, because at least that fic was honest about what it was going for. Right off the bat it let us know that we were reading torture porn, and that was exactly what it delivered, start to finish. This thing suckered me in with some interesting perspectives, and then proceeded to go completely off the rails.

Can you tell I hate this fic? Really, really hate this fic?

Okay, deep breath. On a more entertaining, but also aggravating, note, here is a repeat offender who always writes the same story, with the same self-insert (accompanied by literally dozens of inserts of her unsuspecting classmates), and forces mega-crossover after mega-crossover. Her SPaG is terrible, she has no concept of plot, and she never writes her own fic when she can get someone else to write for her. Admittedly I've given in a few times; pity, morbid curiosity, a misguided belief that I could help...

Here are a few she did manage to do all by herself:

As I'm a Wikia user, I've also run into a number of Sues and Stus whose stories haven't been actually written, but are listed as summaries or ideas. Is there anything the PPC would be able to do about that kind of thing? I mean, is that even sporking material?
