to tell if this is a badfic or not.

The Girls in the Forest. K rated. Slightly purple prose, some minor SPaG errors. Dumbledore finds a race of potential Sues ("Tall and lithe, with impossibly dark hair [and] sage green eyes") and their pet unicorn living in the Forbidden Forest.

But (so far, at least) the story is just a short vignette, and nothing much actually happens in it. Maybe one of our HP experts could keep an eye on this to see if it gets expanded into a full-blown Suefic.

Badfics by GlarnBoudin on 2015-08-29 15:12:00 UTC Reply

Found a few badfics that need to be taken down. Also, I'm willing to help anyone who wants to spork these.

Queen of the Mobs (Minecraft): https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9672094/1/Queen-Of-The-Mobs
MAJOR Mary Sue, but she's not the main threat-that honor goes to the fact that she's romancing HEROBRINE. Besides that, we've got severe errors in canon, and quite possibly a mini or two. This one was actually mentioned here for a while, even being claimed by SkarmorySilver, but it disappeared after a while. Let's fix that mistake, shall we?

The Spectrum of Blood (MLP:FIM): https://www.fimfiction.net/story/137306/the-spectrum-of-blood
Rainbow Dash gets turned into a vampire, and Fluttershy, who's also a vampire, killed her parents. Need I say more? Other than that, there's also an entire community of vampire ponies in Ponyville, all of which are character replacements, and two of the Mane Six get brutally killed.

The Untameable King (MLP:FIM/Jurassic World): http://www.fimfiction.net/story/272821/the-untamable-king
An Indominus Rex, somehow in the Mesozoic, gets frozen in ice and reanimates in Equestria. It's a horribly written mess that NEEDS to be killed. However, the I-rex could potentially be a good addition to the Department of Misplaced Flora and Fauna...

Jurassic Pony (MLP/Jurassic World): http://www.fimfiction.net/story/274432/jurassic-pony
A cosplayed gets sent to Equestria as Owen Grady, with an Omnitrix and a raptor squad. Yes, really. Major Stu that's able to turn into Jurassic World's dinosaurs, including the Indominus, and also comes up with stupid names for new DNA samples he acquires, even naming a timber wolf form "Redwood". I mean, come on! The thing's very NAME is a pun!

Return of the Bats! (MLP): https://www.fimfiction.net/story/215928/return-of-the-bats
The Mane Six are turned into vampiric bat-ponies for no good reason, and Spike and the CMC have to cure them. Six character replacements, and cheesy dialogue to boot, although it isn't that bad compared to the other fics I've got here.

The Sinweaver (MLP): http://www.fimfiction.net/story/48793/1/the-sinweaver/feeding-time
The Mane Six are a collection of carnivorous monsters that eat several ponies. Fluttershy and Pinkie aren't mentioned, but it appears that the author had plans for them as well before canceling this fic. All in all, just a bad story that needs to be put to rest.

Pegazo Vampir Equinae: http://www.fimfiction.net/story/44159/pegazo-vampir-equinae
Clover the Clever was really a vampire, and turns Rainbow Dash into one as well. Also, Twilight enters Dash' brain and forcibly changes her to love her. Yes, really.

Sir Freddy the Golden! (MLP/FNAF): http://www.fimfiction.net/story/257288/sir-freddy-the-golden
I saved the "best" for last: a human gets turned into Golden Freddy and is sent to Equestria 1000 years in the past, where he teams up with Discord and is turned to stone alongside him. He and Discord get free, and this massively OP Stu completely derails all canon past Season 2.

And to round it out, have a goodfic!

The Manliest Story Ever Conceived (MLP. Yes, really.): http://www.fimfiction.net/story/153317/the-manliest-story-ever-conceived
This story... lives up to its name. That's all I'll give away. You NEED to read this for yourself.

The "Stoneblessed" Trilogy by Pippa's Ghost on 2015-09-01 09:21:00 UTC Reply

Stoneblessed, Stoneblessed II, Stoneblessed III

Sue from the real world is abducted to Middle-earth by Orcs who arrive in her bedroom through her mirror. She falls in love with Azog, her abductor. First sequel, set 500 years later, has another Sue/Orc romance, and the final part looks set to feature yet another one. Makes a change from all the usual Lust Objects anyway.

Slightly off topic, but not really by Dark Brother 16 on 2015-08-30 00:34:00 UTC Reply

Since this thread is about Badfics, I think I'll take this opportunity to ask something I've been wondering for a while now.

Has anybody read the Sonichu comics? Everyone knows what those are, right? (Please tell me I'm not the only one who read them.)Well, they're a series of webcomics, so I was wondering if those fall under what the PPC does.

Not saying that I want to work with them. Heavens, no! But what I am saying is that, if the PPC does that sort of thing, I can't think of anything more deserving of Legendary status.

Semper erit insanus

Yes, I know of them by Tira on 2015-08-30 02:45:00 UTC Reply

They've come up in passing before, and I think general opinion is that they're not exactly our jurisdiction. We don't really do fan comics in general, and frankly, Sonichu is only fan anything by the very skin of its teeth. That, combined with just how entwined it is with the life of its creator and the sheer level of badness it entails, means that we're unlikely to touch it at any point. Plus, it's already been thoroughly torn to pieces by a number of sources, I don't know that we need to do it, too.

I might ave to take the vampire one. by World-Jumper on 2015-08-29 21:47:00 UTC Reply

At the very least, Return of the Bats. I have a few vampire hunter jokes I could make with that.

What is with all the dino pony stuff though? Like, I get crossovers, and hold them close to my heart, but this is just... Weird. I mean, maybe a short story where Fluttershy calms down the Indominus Rex or something, but these dinos stomping around and killing ponies just because? Why?

Oh man, I'm definitely claiming the Jurassic Pony one. The summary alone is ridiculous, I've been meaning to spork another pony fic for a good long while, and something involving Jurassic World would be way too good for a certain maniraptoran of mine to pass up. XD

And here are a few I've dug up:

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2714651/1/Awakening">Awakening (The Matrix)
The daughter of the One. A newly unplugged hacker. Linked in ways they can't understand, together they uncover a secret that has been hidden for fifteen years.

Two blatant Sues and a major screw-up of the events of the Matrix trilogy, along with canon logic in general. Also a little trouble with SPaG, especially missing periods at the end of a lot of the spoken sentences. It's incomplete, but what we have so far is just... guh.

Project Conversion (Steven Universe x Fairy Tail x One Piece x Naruto)
Multi-Cross. About three years ago the Homeworld Gems turned three humans from three different planets into Gems. However they ran off and eventually found their way to Earth. Can they get along with the Crystal Gems and live in peace on earth? Or will the Home World Gems ruin everything? Please R&R!

And these three humans happen to be canons from three different continua, all thrown into the SU world with beige prose and questionable grammar.

Monster Hunter Potter (Monster Hunter x Harry Potter)
AU Daniel Potter is declared boy-who-lived. Harry Potter is sent away for his own safety. Now things in the Wizarding World have calmed down and Lily and James are looking for their eldest son... who happens to be the top Hunter of the Guild.

Monster Hunter by GlarnBoudin on 2015-09-03 02:40:00 UTC Reply

Dibs on the MH one! I remember reading that one back in the day; it actually could have been pretty good if Lily and James hadn't survived for no reason whatsoever. Carnage would be familiar enough with the monsters, and I'd say he'd be pretty happy with that baby Hypnocatrice.

Voyd and I already have that one claimed, actually. :/ by SkarmorySilver on 2015-09-03 18:06:00 UTC Reply

We plan to get it taken care of in due time, though I'm pretty sure our agents would be happy to lend the Hypnocatrice to Carnage once it's killed.

As compensation, however, I'd be more than happy to lend you this monstrosity instead:

Monster Hunter meets Hunger Games meets awful, awful grammar. Yeah... I've got nothing. ^^;

Dang it! by GlarnBoudin on 2015-09-03 19:16:00 UTC Reply

Ah well, at least Carnage still gets the wyvern chick. Plus, the exchange could make for a good interlude. And yeah, I'll take the HG crossover; I've never read the books, but I know the basics of the setting, though it wouldn't hurt to have someone who knows more about the canon...

Re: Badfics by Tira on 2015-08-29 21:10:00 UTC Reply

The worst part of the "cosplayer becomes their character for real" trend is that I don't automatically hate it. You could get a lot of good identity issues out of it, as the main character finds themselves trapped in a body that they know isn't theirs but still is, maybe dealing with instincts and memories that are simultaneously foreign and natural to them. But instead of actually doing anything with that premise, it's just poorly integrated into a MLP fic and used as an excuse for Stu powers.

And that last one... ugh. I really cannot stand the trend of bronies (or other fans of children's series, I suppose, but I see it the most with bronies) glorying in darkening and corrupting an innocent continuum. All I can think is, why? Nobody's making you like MLP. You could always take part in some darker, more mature fandom if that's what you want. Like it or not, MLP is a kid's show, and I don't understand why the so-called fans can't respect that.

Darkening an innocent continuum by Pippa's Ghost on 2015-08-29 23:16:00 UTC Reply

Yeah, I I added a couple of Frozen crossovers/AUs to the Unclaimed Badfic page:

"Fifty Shades of Ice" - M rated - Frozen x Fifty Shades of Grey

"Elsa Grey and Anna Steele couldn't be more different. Elsa is worth billions, Anna is beginning college. Elsa controls the elements of winter, Anna reads and writes. And when the two get tangled in each other's web, fireworks go off. But Elsa has a much darker side to her than anyone d when Anna finds herself in Elsa's dark world, she quickly learns the art of submission"

"The Girl With The Snowflake Tattoo" - M rated - Frozen x The Millennium Trilogy

"Inspired by Stieg Larsson. When young writer Anna Westerguard is contacted from the blue about a cold case in the Southern Isles she reluctantly takes on the case. But as she keeps hitting a wall, she finds herself toe to toe with Elsa Drage, a strong, young girl who will do anything to help Anna end it all Rated M: Strong Graphic Violence, Disturbing Images Including Torture/Sex"

Ugh, ick, nooope. by DawnFire on 2015-08-30 15:30:00 UTC Reply

Elsa being melded with Grey is horrifying enough, especially considering the author's managed to capture some of Hellspawn's personality (I know this canon via the Das Sporking LJ, hence the... nickname), but I went in thinking that Anna Steele was, well, *Ana* Steele. As in, crossover, not creepy, creepy fusion. I'm out. No sense in scarring myself and my agents that badly.

I can, however, tell you that this is absolutely horrible and all of my nope. Elsa alone is awful. "I WEAR SUITS" (more silly than horrible) and her *thought process* and good grief, even her father is OOC and that's just a flashback...

I will say one thing, which is that at least with this version of Grey I get some sense that she's gotten tired of the routine of her job instead of just plain whining and never doing much of anything. Some kudos to the author for that. Still creepy, and Elsa!Grey isn't much better than original Grey (who for the full name of Gaston Hellspawn Bedbug over at Das Sporking), but it's a very, very slight improvement.

But yeah, no, not taking this /shudders/ Not with that pairing. Which is fine by me--I don't want to know how OOC Anna will get. She's many things, but she is nowhere near the character of Ana Steele. Good luck to anyone who does take it, though.

I-Rex in Equestria? by dramaticsoprano on 2015-08-29 19:48:00 UTC Reply

Who needs I-Rex when you have T-Rex? Also, why would Equestria need a seriously over-powered genetic hybrid roaming around? It's got enough problems with the likes of Tirek and Nightmare Moon.

Now let's be fair to I. rex. by Huinesoron on 2015-08-29 21:22:00 UTC Reply

The species has a lot going for it as an apex predator: it's a large pack-hunter that can apparently run around all day without eating anything substantial, and has the ability to render itself invisible in both infrared and visible light. Admittedly, 'really big' and 'pack hunter' don't often go together very well - they'd need a huge range to get enough food, even with that weird metabolism - but it's still a good trick to have up your sl- er, win- er, arm when the Giraffatitan are flocking or whatever.

The fact that the individual in Jurassic World was brain-damaged to the point where it thought that running at things roaring was a good hunting strategy shouldn't reflect on the species as a-

Wait, no, never mind, can't keep the straight face any more. If they wanted to scare tourists they should've just shown them dinosaurs hunting each other instead of tethered goats. Srsly.
