We usually tack on badfic reports onto existing reports instead of making new threads about each badfic, so it would've been better to add to Midnight's thread instead of making a totally new one.
Just letting you know for the future!

I'm surprised this fic hasn't been mentioned on the comm yet, at least recently. Behold the My Immortal of Naruto fandom (highly NSFW and NSFB, original fic deleted, link leads to repost)
It's an annoying and annoyingly long Suefic featuring fangirl Japanese and general zomg kawaii weeabooism in Cowboy Bebop of all continua. For the uninitiated, Bebop is a western-based anime series whose canon doesn't contain Japanese or Eastern cultural elements. Just to give you an idea of how bad the weebness gets, here's a sample:
“Konnichiha!” she spoke up. Hentai thoughts ran through Jet’s head.Overbearing cutesiness, instant Twu Wuv, mother-of-god catgirls, plus other annoying stuff happens. As TV Tropes say, it's everything Bebop's target demographic doesn't want to read about. Fic is here.
I'm also surprised this fic and the series it belongs to hasn't been mentioned or missioned in the comm. They're basically the My Inner Life of the Disney's Hunchback of Notre Dame fandom, except a lot less funny and a lot more infuriating. Definitely NSFB (as simping for Claude Frollo often is). They can be read here.
I think Tara did a better job tbh. At least My Immortal was funny at times and wasn't mostly bad het.

Like, this fic is so bad I wanna make it especially stand out.
However, I'd suggest that the best way to make a badfic report engaging is via its content. When I see "look, yet another 'My Immortal' copycat," I'm not any less likely to yawn and walk away whether it's taking up a whole thread or a reply. {= )
When you report a fic, how about telling us a bit about why this one is bad in its own, special and entertaining ways? We have a badfic report template you can use, if you like. It might help to give people some of the pertinent background on the canon it's based on, too, if it's something a bit more obscure. (Not that Naruto is obscure.)
While I'm here, though, we discourage adding pages to the wiki until there is something PPC-relevant to say about the topic, such as missions set there. Like hS said, enthusiasm is great, and I'm happy to see it applied to the wiki, but it is the PPC wiki. Presumably, one could look up Touken Ranbu on Wikipedia, its own wiki, or maybe TV Tropes if they wanted detailed information about it in the meantime, and you might generate interest by telling us why you love it right here. While we are a badfic-sporking community, we are also a community of fans, so don't be afraid to let the fanlove flow as much as the fansalt. {= )
~Neshomeh doesn't know if fansalt is a thing, but is gonna come out and state that it should be.
