Please don't refer to such creatures as OCs - I believe they're not very O and lack a bit in the C department as well, given their nature.

Really not much I can say to this....except that: The word flawless is used to describe an OC, numerals were used instead of words, Pippin 'pipped', everyone in the Fellowship immediately starts acting as if they've known the Sue all their lives, Grelvish names make an appearance....and general horribleness enSues. -

This has to be a troll. I have never seen anything so utterly ridiculous since reading the "Sisterhood" mission.

So, after pointing out to the author the many egregious errors in her writing, I advised her to do the chapter again.
It was then that I discovered:
1. She's a very reasonable person, and
2. This fic was probably supposed to be AU + OC.
I told her maybe she should go that route. We'll see how she replies, hmm? -

The story was awfully written, but it had some interesting concepts. When the author decided on their own to re-write it, I gave some concrit.
They listened carefully to everything I said. That gave me some more hope in the dark, cruel, horrific world of fanfiction.
As far as I know the author hasn't posted yet the rewritten fanfiction, and I hope to see it as some of the concepts of the original fic were interesting. -

Oh, and it appears I'm in a nitpicky mood today. Even though my knowledge of matters Tolkienian is limited I'll have a look. I'm certain there's plenty to rip apart.

So, is this how we notify the board of newly discovered badfic? Just post a thread? 'Cause I found a pair of farily horrible Star Wars smutfics at fanfiction.net (where else?) the other day, and, well, yeah.
(in case there actually was something about posting badfic in the constitution or wiki or something, I must have missed it. :/ Derp.) -

- Also feel free to share links to badfics you find, if you think they’re worth telling us about. Sometimes we need a good laugh, sometimes we want to offer constructive criticism, sometimes we need something to kill for a mission. Not all badfic needs to be mentioned by itself, though — you can just post it directly to the List of Unclaimed Badfic, or add it to an already existing badfic thread on the Board. (And if you’re replying to a badfic plug, or reviewing it, remember Rule 3!)
So, generally, the rule is 'stick it on the previous thread if it's still on the Front Page'.

An EXTREMELY bad Star Wars/Twilight crossover in which Bella is Anakin's sister for NO apparent reason (WAT), and Luke turns into a vamp, also for no apparent reason (again, WAT). The author not only has absolutely terrible grammar, but also seems to know almost NOTHING about how Star Wars works.
Could be considered NSFB, I guess. -

The basics as of reading the first chapter: Oh hey, Obi-Wan now owns a harem on Tatooine for whatever reason. Also, Aayla Secura. ...yeah, this is gonna be a chore to finish reading.
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/9022995/1/Star-Wars-The-Restricted-Files
...holy mother of god I don't even. Okay, THIS one sticks in my mind for how bad it is. I actually bothered to read through the majority of it out of a sort of bile facination, and you better believe I suffered for it. From what I've seen, the author's written fics of similar quality and content for a few other fandoms besides just the stuff on that particular ff.net account, including A:TLA and Harry Potter, but Star Wars was the first fandom I ever really got into and the other fic I'm listing is a Clone Wars fic, so I'm going with that one.
The first thing you notice is the horrible writing and grammar, but that's only the least of this fic's issues; we've got incest in pretty much every possible heterosexual pairing involving members of the pre-NJO Skywalker and Solo families, R2-D2 has a secret porn stash involving the main characters of the CGI Clone Wars cartoon, everybody is an sex-starved exhibitionist, screwing unconscious people is treated as perfectly fine, fourteen-year-olds can legally have consensual sex, everyone who's supposed to be in a relationship is cheating with pretty much the entire rest of the cast... To quote the Transformers Wiki- good god, I need a stiff drink. -

Somebody goes "Ew, blech, badfic! Here's a link so you can suffer, too!" and then some people mock it horrendously, somebody requests to mission it, and then somebody goes "Well, this looks like a good topic to- YOINK!" And it typically grows into "How many badfics can we poke with sticks in one night?"
And then I come along and shamelessly ninja the ones that look fun for future MSTs on my DA account, which eventually get re-uploaded to my blog (s) later.
So, really, there is no system that I know of. It kind of just happens.
Unless somebody says otherwise, that is. -
