People who know the canon are rather horrified by the content, I'm rather horrified by the SPaG, and, going off my poking at Google, the fandom at large is generally going "oh god why" and there seem to be a few folks doing recent reviews and sporkings (with one of the Google-snippets calling the fic "infamous").
So, yeah, this here's legendarily bad in my book.

To you, my fellow Boarders, I propose a candidate for the Legendary badfic list: "Starkit's Prophecy." This fic is known as the My Immortal badfic of the Warriors fandom. First the criteria:
"The fic must be at least five years old." Research from Snowy and leafeyes confirmed they've heard about this fic as far back as 2010.
"Return a decent number of relevant Google hits from the past year, indicating that people are still talking about it." I did some research and found search results about this fic from the past year, and the first two pages were full. I didn't look further than that.
"Be famous in its own right, not because of the author/sequel/prequel/fanart/whatever." Yes, so much yes. Snowy knows of it, and he's not a Warriors fan, for example. Staying away from this fic was one of the first things I learned when entering the fanfiction of Warriors.
"Be acknowledged as awful by a majority of PPCers with an opinion." When I read this fic in Discord voice chat, everyone agreed it was nothing less than a trollfic. But this criteria, I believe, can be only fulfilled by the acknowledgement of the Board.

Some charges: the grammar and spelling is atrocious; there is a horde of mini-Sues; there is a prophecy, and the warrior spirits know that it's about the Sue right away; the Sue has a name that is forbidden by canon; she 's an impossibly good fighter at a young age, a canon character returns from the dead, has uncanonical powers, and is also evil for no reason.
(I am planning to mission this fic regardless of what is decided, and I will stop at the end of chapter four [or this fic's second chapter three.])
And also "MOOOOOOOOOOOO!" X'D
I started an MST of this one once, but it quickly turned into... more of an MRT (with the R standing for Ramsay, as in I stepped the "don't insult the author" line a lot), but it was never finished, for that reason.

There's at least a few people in favor and no objections.
Maybe wait to Wednesday, so it's been a week, if you're worried?
I agree with the nomination.
P.S. A second chapter 3. Cheetahmen II on NES also had that.

I've heard of it and its horribleness, but then again, I do like the Warriors books.
My only reservation is this: Is it famous outside its fandom? I honestly hadn't heard of it before I got into "Warriors".
I've never read the "Warriors" series, but I heard of this travesty just from bouncing around fanfiction sites. I've met a couple other people with similar stories, though the details escape me now.
(I even tried to read it once, but that ended right quick.)
