As far as I'm concerned, Twilight is a badfic. Of Meyer's... ahem... dream. It certainly has the right level of quality. It'd be kinda nice if you could take IP off someone by virtue of them being too incompetent to look after it properly. That would be abusable, though. Sadly.
A twist on the Badfic thread, let's talk about some BadFics, as well as some GoodFics.
Good - Shine by AquaFish - RWBY - Smut warning, not main focus
Shine is what happens when a Sue tries to bed Jaune, but fails. Miserably. Peony Bloom is our Yandere taken to a Sue-Like extreme, with Fan-Pistols and Hanami as a semblance. In her quest for Jaune Jr, she relentlessly harasses Pyrrha, taken to a semi-logical extreme with Pyrrha almost dying trying to retrieve her coronet from an on campus lake during the winter months. Luckily Jaune was there, who at the time was in a forced relationship with Peony, he broke up shortly after and started dating Pyrrha, but Peony still wants the Varazin (Des should get that Framed joke)! Later chapters involve attempted, but thankfully non-trivialized, rape (female on male too, amazing!), The Beach Pool Chapter, Coco's drink party (that was a fun chapter), and a single smut chapter.
Bad - Remnants of Olympus by Rhyfeddol - RWBY/Heroes of Olympus
In this fic, the author inserts Team RWBY into the plot of The Heroes of Olympus. Let me explain that better: Hera did not mess with Jason and Percy, RWBY arrives at camp and suddenly it's the start of the second great prophecy. The Greek aspect of The Seven plus Team RWBY then take a plane ride (luckily Percy and the plane conundrum stuff is still around) to the Camp Jupiter area, meet up with the Roman aspect of The Seven, then take on the quest to Alaska to close the doors of death. That's as far as I could get without raging. I also find the need to say the Blake describes, and I quote, "[Percy] was only marginally more skilled than Jaune Arc." My friend, Percy is at the marginal swordplay level of Pyrrha, not Jaune. Jaune could learn something from Percy. The story is apparently complete, but with 15 chapters plus a 2 chapter epilogue, I wouldn't recommend the Time Lord Touch.
Bad- https://www.fanfiction.net/s/7201908/1/Love-with-a-sharptoothed-comb
Warning for Rape,violence,trivializing a dead disaster, curse words,and hurricanes.
Have you ever seen a hetalia oc for a hurricane? Oh a few people have made them in the fandom but usually they are just anime girls written by those who are too young to know better.
This one however is literally a story of a hurricane Katrina oc raping Aph America over the days she was alive. That in itself is bad enough but then the author tries to claim Aph Amercia likes it somehow. And then somehow expects us to feel sorry for the hurricane. As someone who lived through Katrina I can tell you this is disrespectful to the max. Not for the faint of heart at all.
Good- https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6122026/1/Gutters
Warning for death,violence,the world ending,floods,earthquakes,and so many things.
This is a fanfic known through out the fandom as a tear jerker to the max. One of the most recommended,and when you read it you see why. The plot is Many nations have fallen,no one is sure we're it's safe,and aph Denmark and Aph Sealand only have each other right now. The characters are well written. The grammar is good. I want to say more but I fear for spoiling it. It also has another fanfic conerned to it written my the author and some spin offs written by fans of the work. I can't attest to those however,just Gutters.
http://appasmomo.deviantart.com/art/Gasm-Heard-Round-the-World-1-204422710
Warning: Nsfw,NSFB, Boku no pico(yes I'm serious),rape,Character replacements,many bad ocs,google translate french,incest, no lube or condoms. Oc times Canon (Oc x Aph Ukraine & Oc x Aph France),cursing,and much more.
Yes the title of it is in fact "Gasm Heard around the World" and it's about as good as you would think. The city of New York gets dragged into making a porno. There is script fic with emotes the whole time. It's funny but it's also so terrible. It's five chapters long but each one is quick. This is a fanfic that people end up regretting down the line.
Twilight X Harry Potter Bleefic - Bella Marie Potter Cullen: The Girl Who Lived - I can't find the original copy of the fic, so I hope the sporking by Zelda Queen from Das Sporking will suffice for your entertainment, even if it means we probably can't mission it . Seriously, doesn't that title alone make you cringe? It was practically impossible for this thing to have been anything other than an absolute train-wreck from the very beginning!
Because - Sailor Moon - I'm more confused than anything else about this songfic. If this wasn't a songfic or if the author had chosen a different song, it might have been decent. At it stands, on one hand we have a cute hurt/comfort story about Serena and Rini comforting each other after Darien gets hurt. But on the other hand, the meaning of the lyrics of the song Because of You, by Kelly Clarkson, completely contradict the dialogue that precedes them, which copy them almost word for word but still gets the meaning wrong.
Fics that I'm unsure of how to feel about.
Are the sporkings of Mervin's site really off-limits?
I mean, Iximaz missionned Rose Potter, and Seafarer claims Hogwarts Exposed, a series who could deserve the Legendary tag.
Such crossover deserves to die. Bonus hate points because Bella is called Marie (I know that's her true name). I ducking hate the glitterbags called Mary, it feels like they're spitting on the original character.
Some of the fics being that were sporked there are unbelievably awful and can't be found anywhere else, like this train-wreck of a bleepfic and the Ariana Black series.
The problem is precisely that they can't found outside Mervin's site. Aside from how hard it would to acess the thing, other than maybe by either asking Das Mervin to supply the original or asking permission to copy off the original fic text from the sporkings, I also have to wonder if our policy about deleted/abandoned badfics would apply in such cases or not.
I, for one, would love to see these things being taken out, but I don't know if we would be allowed to do so.
Where did you see that they cannot be used for a mission? I mean, Iximaz and Des' latest mission was about an unfinished fanfic abandonnd since 2003, so it seems to me you can mission them, provided they're bad enough. As for the text, you could ask it to Zeldaqueen, it still could somewhere in her computer.
Yeah, I mostly meant fics that got deleted. As I said before, I probably won't be trying to take down a fic THIS bad any time soon, even if do get Permission this time.
Heck, in the Airhead sporking, Mervin and Hyde make frequent references to the PPC. I was actually thinking of claiming Child of Grace, Airhead herself, and that one Edward/Cas fic (because Cas is clearly a replacement Sue, which puts him in the DMS's purview).
(Mostly this is because my spinoff is planned to be set in the past, and I can barely find any badfic that fits the timeline. ;_;)
Shipping Bella the anti-human with Cas is clearly bad, and since his description is inaccurate to say the least, it's another remplacement for you.
Out of curiosity, why setting up your spinoff in the past?
I need a certain department to still be around.
Because Bella Marie Potter Cullen seriously needs to be taken down. I mean, Bella here is arguably worse than Glaurunging Reneesme. This Suethor knows as little about babies as Meyer and they don't have the (extremely bad) excuse of her being a Dhampir. Seriously, what even is this!?
The only problem here is that only copy that seems to exist online of this thing is the sporking itself and Zelda Queen does a lot of scriptfic sequences because of how bad and boring it is.
Email Mervin, tell her you're PPC, and ask if she has/can get a copy. If she doesn't want you doing it, she'll tell you. That was my plan for Airhead, anyway.
Thing is, I don't have Permission yet, though I hope that will change soon enough. But even if I did get it this time around, I am not planning on taking on something of the caliber of this train-wreck any time soon. I will keep your suggestion in mind though.
Namely Twilight Goodfics. *dodges suppression fire* They're worth it, I swear.
Anyone here knows the website Das Sporking, Mervin and her sister Mrs Hyde, right? Back to 20009, Hydee began a revamp of Twilight the first, 'The Blue Hour', taking any part of the book worth of something, and her two first unbetaed chapters, an alternative take on Meyer's 'Chapter One', were already superior to the whole book. At no moment you'll want to fishslap Bella here.
Unfortunately, the rest of this work isn't published, since Mrs Hyde wants to publish it only after she finished it (She was halfway through the last year, does anyone have more recent informations, please?).
However, she also published four short stories too, rewriting the Cullen in order to show what's Meyer failed to see, and recreating good characters. Success was total.
-First one, The Darkest Hour, her take on Edward's descent to darkness before the main series. Yes I'm calling him Edward, because this one DESERVES it. For more informations, read this story.
-The Thorns Remains, rewriting Rosalie's backstory to something more fitting than a banker's daughter in Great Depression killed by her fiancee.
-His Brother's Keeper, about Emmett. Once again, any canon worht its salt is used. Oh, and 'Growing Up Cullen' too.
-Curiouser and Curiouser, featuring Alice. You hated female Wardo? You'll love vampiric Luna Lovegood.
Oh, last thing. Mrs Hyde also expressed the desire of rewriting the whole mess, and since she's ditching some of the sick elements, like imprinting and love traingle, I can only hope she does it.
Seriously, read this guys. You'll wish an OFU could be based upon this, just for imagining the heads of the Twitards.
Use this link for The Wedding Crashers for a few bonus bits at the end.
The Wedding Crashers: Leah Clearwater is called home for Jacob's wedding. However, she's not alone. Along for the ride come Sam, Dean and Castiel. And they're not pleased by what they find...
Strange Bedfellows: Ever wonder who that guy Sands who keeps turning up in the sporkings is? Well, here you go. SnapexSands, slash, and also a really good story.
The Wise Man and the Fool: Aro as he should have been. Also, the Cullens are totes screwed.
For You, I Will: Horror. There's no other word. A look at the implications of imprinting...
But it was too awesome for being ignored. Seriously, I wish Twilight was a Legendary Badfic of Hyde's work, and that the latter could be used for an OFU, just imagine Mervin and Hyde Coordinators , fishslapping fanbrats to submission and GOOD writing. Heck, someone should use it as an idea for an Agent, an AU where Meyer is an unpublished Suethor and Hyde takes the credit. Sending such an Agent to a Twilight would be so cruel, so funny.
Yeah, I'll check the others too. I discovered Supernatural thanks to their sporkings, and seeing the Winchesters crush the Cullens will certainly be fun.
As far as I'm concerned, Twilight is a badfic. Of Meyer's... ahem... dream. It certainly has the right level of quality. It'd be kinda nice if you could take IP off someone by virtue of them being too incompetent to look after it properly. That would be abusable, though. Sadly.
Luminosity - These five following words alone should convince you: Twilight with a rational Bella.
If it was any other fandom, Luminosity would be badfic. Your description is correct: Twilight with a rational Bella. Unfortunately, few of the other things that make Twilight so awful are changed. Bella is still a sociopath who has to force herself to feel emotion and who matches up her friends for utterly selfish reasons; Edward is still a dick; Alice is still annoying (and IF SHE DOESN'T REMEMBER BEING A HUMAN, WHY DOES SHE ACT LIKE ONE her backstory doesn't gel with her characterisation); Rosalie is still a Scary Sue with a baby fetish; vampires still have biology failure; it's still anti-human; there's still a lot of rape imagery (metaphorical here, but still)...
I could go on. At least there's actual plot eventually.
How I didn't realize that!? Yeah, apparently despite this being an AU trying (and failing, apparently) to fix things around, the author actually LIKES Twilight. So yeah, it makes sense that things like weren't change.
Sorry for screwing this up. Rec retracted.
Some people like it. Heck, my best friend likes it. Probably because it's better than Meyer's work, which makes it something that people like to latch on to and rub in Meyer's face. But "better than Meyer's work" is what we call damning with faint praise.
Honestly, it's all down to taste. All I meant to do with my post was warn off people who have been ruined by Das Sporking can't stop themselves reading between the lines.
Here's one that's in the same vein-If Bella Were Sane.
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5187507/1/
The title alone should convince you to read it.
And here's one from Jurassic World-It's Not the Raptor DNA
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11317119/1/It-s-not-the-Raptor-DNA
Basically, it's a complete reimagining of the second half of Jurassic World based on one simple question: what if the Indominus had human DNA in her? The resulting story is, for lack of a better word, AMAZING. The author updates it almost every day and manages to perfectly blend sadness, comedy, heartwarming, and balls-to-the-wall awesomeness. If you liked Jurassic World, read it. If you thought Jurassic World could have been better, READ IT. It's definitely worth the time.
