The last dragon chronicles. The plot is too complicated for the fangirls to follow.
A very little known -wonderful- book... Only has about 30 fanfics on the Pit. It's really awesome, cyborg Cinderella.... But, I think there might be some 'Sueauthors getting on the bandwagon when Winter comes out....
Renewed for a 26 episode season, split into two separate sections like they used to do with Eureka. I am afraid this means it will be the last season. I feel like Syfy has a record of canceling shows after one last extra big season. I just hope if it is going to be canceled that the writer's know about that far enough in advance to write a satisfactory ending.
Have you checked out the fanfic on AO3 yet? I highly recommend anything written by Roseveare11, in particular. One of her stories is what finally got me to start writing fanfic after being a reader only for 10 years. There is a ton of shipping in the fandom, but some good gen stuff, too, if shipping isn't your thing at all.
...the cosmere fandom is small enough, and frequented enough by the right sort of people, that the only extant badfic was created deliberately by otherwise fantastic writers, for the purpose of laughing at it.
(But really, if you're going to get through The Stormlight Archive, you're gonna probably need some reason beyond the objective hawttness attribute of various characters. It's long. Amazing, but long. And unfinished.)

I've bought the Mistborn trilogy in the last book fair and practically devoured it. It's awesome. Now I should get off my lazy ass and get my hands on The Alloy of Law.
I just had this weird plotbunny: a Myst x Mistborn crossover. It will be called "Mystborn".
The fandom is relatively small and mostly composed of intelligent people, so fic tends to be of average to very good quality. I've seen one or two stinkers, but they tend to be of the sort that's hard to spork because they're long and the SPaG is decent.
That said, there has been one badfic that was sporked by the PPC, and if anyone happens across any that are truly terrible, I demand to be informed, because I call all kinds of dibs on that. All the dibs.

My Haven beta drew those. She's got a ton of other drawings, cartoons, and gifs, and even a few videos out there, too.
Fanfic for Secret Six seems to be pretty good. I've read very little of it though.
...I've managed to come across a fandom that a) has virtually no badfic whatsoever, and b) is highly welcoming across the board. It's the Zombies, Run! fandom over on Tumblr. It's a wonderful little fandom, and one of the fanwriters has actually worked with the app creators to write a few storylines with them.
Listed on ff.net as "The Chronicles of Prydia." It has like three fanfics, I think? And more than half of them are in Bulgarian or something - been a while since I really looked. I wrote fanfic for it once, but I don't even remember what it was about, let alone have it anymore, so I don't actually know about the quality of any fanfic for it. But given that there are very few fanfics, there can't be too many badfics.
And most of the time when I mention it to people they sort of stare at me and go, "Chronicles of what," so there's that too.
I mean, the Black Cauldron is still Disney's redheaded stepchild, but one would think it'd at least give the series more attention, even if it wasn't a very faithful adaptation. The series got me hooked on Lloyd Alexander's work for a while. I love Gwydion so much.
I know! Eilonwy is a great character!
I have a friend who named her daughter something hard to remember that's similar to Eilonwy. I can't ever remember the poor kid's actual name. I call her Eilonwy. Poor kid.
Taran's character arc in particular was fantastic. I hated him so much at the beginning.
And yeah, a friend of mine adopted a baby called Amara right around the time I was reading Redwall, so I kind of spent a year calling her Mara. I guess it's a thing we fandom people do. *shrugs*

I'm pretty sure I know lots; there are a lot of obscure sci-fi and fantasy continua that are simply too obscure for fanbrats to get their paws on or are aimed at an older audience. Frank Herbert's ConSentiency series is an example of the former while The Culture is an example of the latter.
You'd think Sues would go after the [I]Lensman[/I] series, "The Only Woman Mentor Will Give A Lens To" being more speshul than "Tenth Walker". (Yes, I know about Clarissa, but she's putting herself down as a second-class Lensman most of the time she's got the darn thing.) But the novels are old enough that you have to look to find copies.
Knightmare - mostly because it has so few fanfics in general, and similarly a small community. It took an interlude for my agents to get a visit in.
Isn't that a genre-busting game?I think I saw it on a Games You Might Have Not Tried video over at Extra Credits.
It was a kids' TV gameshow many years ago. It was a bit like D&D.
There is a website: http://www.knightmare.com/
We've got internet speeds of, uh, 0.8 right now, and we managed to watch it without buffering. So you should definitely be able to.

It is no surprise that I mistook for an other work in another genre in another entire medium * Laughs humourlessly *
It does look it was an awesome thing from I could see from the website though.
It was an awesome, enthralling, fascinating kids' TV gameshow... ;)
I'm amazed at that website. Most old TV shows end up with a website last updated three years ago (usually with a 'new content coming soon' or 'under construction!' notice that makes you cry). That is... something else.
