If Percy was the daughter of Kronos... and also had water powers which would mean that she's the daughter of Poseidon... Then the only "logical" explanation was mPreg... And Kronos doesn't actually have a physical body until the third or fourth book... So this makes no sense.
So I was perusing the wiki one day, when I noticed that Percy Jackson has no page. Which means, if it has no page, there was no badfic sporked. So I decided to look at Percy Jackson fics at fanfiction.net... yeesh.
Daughters of Poseidon and Zeus to the left of me, re-imaged Percy to the right, and shipping all around. As many bad Daughter of Poseidon or 'Percy's lost sister' fic there are, one stood out to me. I WOULD add it to the Unclaimed Badfic list on the wiki, but it seems to be locked at the moment. So, here is:
Daughter Of Time
Rated T, Romance & Adventure
AU: Fem!Percy. Wouldn't things be more interesting and more dramatic if Percy is the daughter of Kronos? Torn between loyalty to her father or saving the world. Apollo/Fem!Percy. Luke/Fem!Percy. Percy harem.
A HUGE amount of the fic is stolen from the book word for word. There are some chapters are more original then the others, but you will still find direct paragraphs from the book slapped in. Rule 63 strikes Percy, but nobody else, simply so the author does not technically write slash. Oh, and she is not the daughter of Poseidon, but the daughter of Kronos, the Big Bad of the seres. This Mary Sue/replacement Sue controls time AND water, for some reason, is angry for no reason, and is NOT killed by the gods, and somehow gets one to love her. Her existence is a massive breach of cannon. If someone takes it, have fun. Grammar is bad too, but the spelling seems good, so she knows how to use spell check.
I've added this to the Unclaimed Badfic list, along with your comments--hope you don't mind :)

For some reason, despite being a member of the wiki, it would not let me add it to the list at the time. Thanks for adding that blasted thing.
in the Yu-Gi-Oh section of AO3.
It seems the crossovers are most badly hit.
First we have the massive cluster of confused babble that is this series of YGO/Harry Potter/OC weirdness.

I have no idea what is going on, and I am not sure I want to.
Then we have a tiny Full House/YGO Drabble that has implied jailbait Kaiba, and looks to be a part of an ongoing Full House crossover series. As I do not know much about Full House canon, I would like to defer this series to someone who does before classifying it as badfic.

Sadly, there is quite a bit more. However, I lost the link to the fic wherein a girl is turned into a duel monster and somehow marries Kaiba. That's what I get for closing tabs without checking.
Hi,
I've added the first badfic to the Unclaimed Badfic list. If anyone figures out whether the second one is also a badfic, let me know, and I'll add that too.
I know nothing about YGO, but that was the most. Confusing. Summary. *Ever*.

My memories of the Full House canon are a bit sketchy (I was only conscious about half the time when it wasn't airing reruns... Or was it?), but I'm pretty sure they made Stephanie a little too innocent little girl-ish. Wasn't she a bit more... spunky? One of those cute-with-a-tongue-sharper-than-a-steak-knife deals, wasn't she?
That's just... oh OW... I'm having trouble imagining it...
Seriously, I read further, and my mind started to shut down. I think some of the Aura of Smooth seeped out of the fic and onto me, because I caught myself thinking once or twice, 'Well, it's not THAT bad. I mean, it could be worse..." Then I hit myself over the with the Lightning Thief, saying (quietly, so I did not disturb the family) "OUT DAMNED SUE!" If the Sue had grabbed me, I was going to make sure she did not stay inside.
(You think he's kidding. He really isn't. He hit himself over the head with the book in a form of self-exorsism. It was supposed to be more of a ritual then anything, but it helped clear his mind and look at the fic for what it was. Trust me, I should know: I'm living in his head.)
Anyway, in case it is not clear, I want this thing dead based off premise alone. However, I do not currently have permission, and do not feel that seeking permission at this time would be a good idea. I'm not sure if I am a good enough writer, and I don't have a huge amount of free time at the moment. However, I would be highly interested in a co-write mission with someone who does know Percy Jackson, so I can get my feet wet, and perhaps get a feel for writing missions. Mostly though, I want the Sue dead.
Stealing your thread to post this Hobbit Sue:
An Unexpected Companion
Rated T, Romance/Adventure.
A WIP from a rusty Fanfic writer. Kestrel, who's perfect life is nothing more then an act, comes across a mysterious necklace. By the lamp-light of the city, she is transported to middle-earth. Many adventures await, after the original quest to defeat Smaug and reclaim the lonely mountain, and mysteries to be uncovered. Thorin/OC, Fili/OC, Kili/OC. AU, Fluffy and T rated (for now)
So, the very first word of the story is a mini-Balrog, which really gives me high expectations of the rest of the story. And then it goes downhill from there with spatial-temporal distortions, Twoo Wuv At Fuhst Saight, and the very very disconcerting notion that Thorin, Fili, and Kili had all somehow survived the Quest for Erebor. And that Bilbo would be totally up to visiting Erebor again despite, you know, nearly losing Bag End to his adventuring.
That's not even factoring in the Sue with her Deus Ex Machina necklace.
Ouch.
Also, I've added this *lovely* bit of...litera*booom*
Ok, I guess my keyboard couldn't take the lie. I've now replaced it. Anyway, as I was saying: I've added this badfic to the list of Unclaimed Badfic on the wiki, along with your comments; hope that's alright with you :)

*Sigh* Curse the fact that there are good looking dwarves in the movie.
I think my brain just went into protective custody. Any other particularly bad things (IE any non-canon immunities to damage) we need to worry about?
He is very protective of his daughter, manipulating time to make sure she can evade danger. The moron of a Sue looked directly into Medusa's eyes because she was curious, and Kronos appeared AS A PHYSICAL BEING, and stopped her from turning to stone. I'm going to say Kronos would be able to see agents, either because he is a Titan, or due to his lack of being chopped in hundreds of pieces and trapped in Tartarus in this fic making him a replacement too.
So not only do we have to deal with the most powerful 'mortal' to walk the earth, we also get to have fun with a being of divine power with the ability to manipulate time and a good chance that he see agents. One wonders if the PPC has any god killer weapons and/or ammunition available for use. On the bright side, we do have a good way to kill the Sue and get a nifty (or incredibly tacky depending on how the Sue is dressed) statue out of it.
Here's the link to the fic:
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8738702/1/Daughter-Of-Time
The other link leads to the author's page. My mistake.
If Percy was the daughter of Kronos... and also had water powers which would mean that she's the daughter of Poseidon... Then the only "logical" explanation was mPreg... And Kronos doesn't actually have a physical body until the third or fourth book... So this makes no sense.
Her grandmother is Tethys, the titaness of the sea. Ladies and gentleman, not only are the Titans, who both in cannon and in mythology are trapped in Tartarus and cannot escape, having demi-titan kids, but the gods don't bat an eye. Worse, she snares Apollo into loving her.
Annabeth is very OOC, becoming a touchy-feely emotional girl (if she gives a reaction at all) who acts more like a daughter of Aphrodite then Athena. At one point she becomes disgusted at the idea of killing somebody (Percy, due to being the child of Kronos, is to be killed if she acts up), despite the fact canon!Annabeth has been trained all her life to kill monsters like replacement!Percy, and in the final battle kills rebel demigods without hesitation.
Grover is pushed to the side as "the goat who freaks out, but we don't really hear about even when he is freaking out." As such, he is fairly OOC, but not near as bad as Annabeth.
Then there's Apollo... This lovestruck loon picks up not only the luv bug, but the idiot ball, even forgetting the fact that he is an almighty god of the sun and could teleport out of a bad situation. Yeah. However, mission wise, he seems to have part of his canon self still inside him, as he gives these gems:
"She was petite and delicate looking, long brown lashes framed beautiful golden-colored eyes and—
Whoa—Apollo stopped himself before he can go further. What was he doing checking a twelve year old girl out?"
and:
"'I'll talk to them about it, they will listen to me." Apollo said firmly, in a rare moment of seriousness Percy looked genuinely surprised that he would do that for her; he didn't fault her. He himself was confused as to why he even volunteered for someone he didn't know except in his dreams."
Still, up to the person who does the mission, if they think it is bad enough to do a mission. Mechanically, the fic is bad, but not atrocious. However, for the amount of cannon it brutally murders, I believe it is bad enough under the Canon Protection Initiative to be itself brutally murdered.
Honestly, after reading the Chapter 2 author's note (which basically translated in my mind as 'I need Percy to still be able to control water so that I can carry on ripping off the plot directly'), I figured that'd be the only explanation we got.
Having said that, the actual reason seems to be even worse than my expectations.
Ouch. Really, ouch. My brain.
(And I thought the movie had issues. Not terrible ones, just...a few small things. But, when all's said and done, IT'S NOT THIS FIC!)
And again, ouch.
I'm also betting the author doesn't know about that other explanation...unless I missed something and it was actually taken from the story/an a/n?
