What Mary Sue/Badfic is your personal favorite/least favorite? It can be from any fanfic, missioned or not, and your fic and Sue needn't go together. Obviously, Bleepfics and Legendary Badfics are a good place to start. And, if you can, come up with reasons your Sue/fic is bad.
Personally, I'll go with Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way and My Immortal, the only badfic I know of to have no less than THREE wikis. It's also commonly referred to as "the worst fanfiction ever", has an insane amount of minis, OOC to the point of ridiculousness, and just sheer BAD. It's also hilarious. (Yes, I hope Iximaz finishes her mission soon)
But that's just me. Which fics/Sues do you hate?
The main character was a Sue (obviously) and was in love with Eli (for those not in the know, think dark, sort of emo dude with a few emotional issues. In other words, ideal Sue lust object!), and they were both in college and parents of toddlers. The beginning is mostly just both of them being worried about their kids getting too attached, which they were right to worry about because as soon as the kids met Sue/Eli, they started calling them 'Mommy'/'Daddy.' Now, I'll admit that I'm not the biggest fan of kidfics already, but this kind of stuff really annoys me so I was ready to keep spite-reading.
Then, in true Degrassi/soap opera fanfiction, it turned out that Sue's child was actually a twin, and Stalker behavior, abusive ex-partners, child kidnapping Then, after all that, they find out that Eli had a twin brother, and his 'son' was actually his nephew because his (now dead) ex-girlfriend had gotten into a fight with him, slept with the twin brother, and then didn't tell anyone about the mysterious stranger with her boyfriend's face.
Thankfully, the title of this fic has been erased by time, so I am not tempted to torture myself all over again by reading it to fact check any of this. I think Sue's name might've been something like Angel, but I'm not sure.
My least favourite would be You'll See (NSFW)
If I recall correctly, the fic stars a Sue who started out as someone who was brainwashed by Eggman into believing she was his niece, despite said Sue being a hedgehog. The prose is rather beige and the dialogue came across as talking heads to me when I first read it.
I name it my least favourite because this fic contrives ways to keep this cycle of her getting kidnapped then tortured (for nonsensical and OOC reasons), then rescued by her prince charming Shadow, and I'm like, "geez, get new material!". To be fair, the cycle did end when she died near the end of the fic.
My favourite badfic so far would be Shada The Hedgehog new beginnings (NSFW, NSFB)
The canons in the fic are OOC, the OCs are dumb, there are hybrids of species that can't reproduce with each other, there's terrible SPaG, and a seemingly non-existant plot, but the bad spelling and the all-caps make it funny imo.
Oh yeah, one chapter attempted to have characters talk like little kids by inserting random w's in front of words like here:
"Mommy can she play boys wstuff like wction wigures?"
~Ozzielot
Who can ever forget Jenna Silverblade and her tiger comparisons perfect case study of the stereotypical fangirlism-loaded Suefic?
Terrible, of course.
Ixie has the highest mission count in the PPC.
Which will be her third Legendary. I don’t know that any other agent has tackled that many.
Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way is funny in how over-the-top she is because I'm 99% convinced it's a trollfic. (Before anyone comes in saying that's been proven true and the author has been found, no she hasn't, she was lying about it.)
But Rose Potter was written with what seems to be full seriousness. There's a reason I went to the trouble of killing her six times in a row.
Yes, it does seem that My Immortal is a trollfic, and if it is, one of the best. I mean, how do you turn Hedwig into a "goff" male human living in the 1980s in love with Voldemort (AKA Tom Bombadil) and not be trolling? It's too ridiculous not to be.The fact that it's not a proven troll just makes it all the better. I say this because I know a lot about My Immortal - in fact, I'm the top contributor to its wiki.
Rose Potter does seem horrible, from what I read of your missions. Just...ugh. But if you want, you could role-play as her in my Sue-Off roleplay.
And yay, Iximaz! Good to see you. I love reading your Aviator and Zeb (especially Zeb) stories and really, I cannot wait for the My Immortal mission!
As outlined here, the worst fanfiction Stu I ever encountered directly was likely Rick Evans, who has every Gary Stu trait cranked up to eleven. He's genuinely textbook Stu.
Every woman wants him, and loves his presence. Men simply shrink away, cease existing, or only passively bask in his glory. The only thing ever spoken about is Rick, the only thing people ever think of is him. He's arrogant, entitled, violent, egotistical, and insecure beyond belief, but everyone constantly praises how kind and charming he is. He has the power of all the powers and, from my memory, was never even injured in a fight.
The story focuses so much on Rick that none of the other characters even exist beyond token mentions.
There's some other things I'd consider, but none strike me as much as this one.
If the latter wasn't ragingly homophobic (against gay men only) and didn't have a tendency to react violently every time anything bearing the most minuscule resemblance to homoeroticism happens to him.
The SPaG, Ai Elbereth, the Smauging SPaG!
Or not, if the Stus feel threatened by each other. Well, Ebony might team up as well... Seriously, this should be chaos.
Ronan Beelzub (be warned, fic is intensely NSFW and NSFB) the Naruto Stu whose fic is worse than For Your Eyes Only in terms of squickiness, boggling story and atrocious technique. He's also responsible for an army of minis and mini-Stus due to the fic's inordinately high concentration of terrible SPaG. To give you an idea of how bad it is, this is the first paragraph (excerpt contains NSFW mentions):
the SPaG, it hurts
I beg to differ. hides my playlists away from this fic
That's the only thing I can say about this.
Also, what defines "modern" here? Does the Stu just like classical music? Or is "modern" anything post-2000s? Is it any sort of music after 1950? Does the Stu like Maple Leaf Rag (published 1899, but repopularized (if I'm reading right) during the 1970s)?
Okay, maybe I'm thinking too hard for badfic, but still. What defines modern?
-kA
(He dares, 'cause he's a Stu.)
At the end, in true My Immortal fashion, there's a "hacker chapter" in which the Stu meets an untimely end at the hands of canon characters with the help of an OC introduced midway through the fic. If anyone missions this, I think it might be a good idea to recruit that Edfred guy.
Somebody really ought to revive the Troll Division to deal with all these "My Immortal" knockoffs and such.
~Neshomeh
After I get Permission, of course.
Having someone take the very neglected Troll Division and turn it into something that actually functions - and differently from the standard DMS-inspired model! - would be awesome. We found out with Tick's mission that Bad Parody used to run very differently, so it would be great to see that reflected in a new spinoff.
(When I've tackled obvious trolls, in DOGA or Floaters, I've had the agents be oblivious to the trolling and just treat it like any other badfic. Troll Division wouldn't do that!)
hS
It's "Who Is Voldemorts Dad? The Tales of Vernon Dursley!” on the Claimed Badfic page.
(Or something, it had an apostrophe somewhere.)
It only makes sense. And I would love to write spork a trollfic. It would be fun.
but someone else should.
Then the author will come back and write four more chapters, then leave on a cliffhanger. (Yes, I know far too much about that particular badfic.)
Well, if it's doing that, then it's just Naruto!My Immortal. (I can tell it's bad, and I know know nothing about Naruto.)
this fic is finished, and the "hacker chapter" is the last.
If the canons kill the Stu in the end, what would the PPC even be doing? The hacker would be doing our job for us.
and as I said, recruit the OC helping the canons at the end.
Would you do it?
I'm no longer in Naruto fandom and my agents aren't in it either (with Kaguya and Momoka specifically assigned to video games).
The Stu starts a band at one point, which plays music sounding like "a cross betwen prince and led zepplin and bon jovi", and has masterful lyrics works. They are also said to be the only good musicians left after all Top 40 artists are killed in a plane crash, ignoring the fact Naruto doesn't take place in our world.
[profanity]-ing Stu.
despite the Stu's obsession with girls, very few female canons show up; he mainly dawdles with Sakura and a bunch of Sues. That means Hinata, Ino, Temari etc. are safe from his Stufluence.
That one's not even fun to read...ugh. Truly atrocious. (But yes, feel free to nominate as many fic as you like.) (And doesn't that need a spoiler warning?)
Tricky formatting is tricky.
It has to be one badfic with a title that is, well, does exactly what it says. It's called "Pbql'f zcert ovegu" (rot13'd) and it basically delivers that.
Warning for the blacklist items coming into play.
So yeah.
Oh! I nearly forgot! The grammar is poor. The entire text has two paragraph breaks. Two. It's a text wall otherwise. Several characters speak one another's lines. It annoying, even without the content.
I tried nominating it for Bleepfic earlier, but that fell through.
It's horrible. It haunts my dreams sometines.
-kA
Not publishing it yet until I feel good about it, though, and get it beta'd (of course). That will be mission 3, and that's why there's a running joke about "we don't talk about Mission 3" as David Null suffered some damage to his sanity.
-kA
(Sorry, couldn't help myself.)
Now I wanna parody "We Don't Talk About Bruno" to fit that context lol.
-kA
Here we go.
[David Null]
We don't talk about Mission 3
[Everyone of my agents, excluding K]
No, no, no!
[David Null]
We don't talk about Mission 3, but
It was a peaceful day.
[Paye]
A peaceful day.
[David Null]
We were recovering,
And the console was quiet.
[Paye]
Not a noise around.
[David Null]
Then, the console BEEPed loudly.
[Paye]
BEEEEEEP!
[David Null]
Are you teaching K, or am I?
[Paye]
I'm sorry, Mr. Null, go on.
[David Null]
Paye said, "It's too peaceful."
[Matthew]
Why did she say that?!
[David Null]
In saying so, the IO heard.
[Paye]
The console BEEPed.
Sanity was snapped
[David Null]
Horrible fic, but anyway:
[David & Paye]
We don't talk about Mission 3, no, no, no
We don't talk about Mission 3.
[Matthew]
Hey! grew to live in fear of my third Mission. When it came.
I can always hear the gunshot as clear as day
Began to associate Nate with that sound from the pistol. Bang bang bang.
It's a heavy memory I must bear and say.
Always left Null and everyone to pay.
Grappling with a curse we don't understand
Do you understand?
[Kittyauthor]
A curse so dark, glitter streaming everywhere.
The console BEEPs and it hurt here.¹
Yeah, it sees your dreams and feasts on your screams. (Hey!)
[Everyone, excluding K]
We don't talk about Mission 3, no, no, no
[Matthew]
No, no
[Everyone, excluding K]
We don't talk about Mission 3.
We don't talk about Mission 3.
[O'Ryan Keys]
I prayed to not get one, but got harmed anyway.
[Everyone, excluding K]
No, no.
[Matthew]
I had to shoot someone in the head!
[Everyone, exluding K]
No, no.
[Paye]
Snapped David's sanity in half, it did.
[David Null]
Hey!
[Everyone, excluding K]
No, no.
Your fate is sealed when the console BEEPs.
[Crow Ressa]
Everyone talks about a bad third mission.
I see nothing wrong, given.
I've never experienced the third.
Might as well keep singing along.
[Natalie Green]
Watch out! Flowers on their way!
[Matthew]
Everyone talks about a bad third mission.
Never believed in it.
Now, look at me!
I can still hear the gunshot now!
[Crow Ressa]
Hey! Please stop scaring me!
[Matthew]
I can still hear it now. I can still hear the gunshot.
[K]
So, uh,
The third mission. Yeah.
I really need to know about it.
Give me the truth, and the whole truth about it.
[O'Ryan Keys]
Hey, don't you all have a mission?
[Everyone, excluding David Null and K]
It's time for your mission!
[Kittyauthor]
A curse so dark, glitter streaming everywhere.
[David Null]
It was a peaceful day.
[Paye]
A peaceful day.
[Crow Ressa]
Everyone talks about a bad third mission.

We're not fine, and we're fine, and not fine.
But it's here!
Don't talk about it!
[K]
Why did I ask about it?
[Everyone, excluding K]
Don't bring it up again!
[K]
I should have never asked about Mission 3.
¹ Here, the agent gestures to her heart.
Gods, that took too long. And now I have to reorganize the order of my unpublished missions to make Matt's third mission horrible.
(Once I'm done with K's first mission, I'll find an easy mission for K and David Null to tackle, and then onto the mass mpreg fic!)
-kA, who did this instead of Act 5 questions for English
Wiki article with summary here. I'm biased 'cause I missioned it, but the thing is, I had fun missioning it (even though my agents didn't). The absurd logic, metaphors/similes, and general word choices are just hilarious—even more so because I'm pretty sure it's not a troll, which sets it apart from most of the other Legendaries. It's also not smut apart from one or two chapters out of thirty, and even those are so bad it's funny.
... I should probably mention that I find "C*l*br**n" funny these days, and that's the grandmommy of all smutty trollfics, so take that with a grain of salt. I stopped being offended by the presence of sex in fanfic a long time ago. Right around when I found out "asexual" was a thing you could be and got square with that, oddly enough. {= )
But, yeah. BRN is genuine, unvarnished, over-the-top weeaboo nonsense, and it's great. Reicheru actually has kind of a cult following of fans who know BRN is terrible but love it anyway, and I guess I'm one of them. ^_^;
In second, I think it's a tie between "Land Before Time: Littlefoot x Cera" (mindboggling cartoon-dinosaur pr0n expertly sporked by Trojie and Pads) and "Ring Child" (very silly three-year-old-istar!Harry Potter and many delightful malapropisms).
In third... gosh, how to choose between the likes of Alumia the Woodsprite, Bob the Sandwich, Harrow the Balrog, Honesah Hoononee Keemo, Sakhmet Black, Solaris the "Dark Elf"... Well, all of them have wiki pages listed here. If you're looking for reading material, you can't go wrong!
~Neshomeh
I don't really have the staying power to RP right now—and if I did, I'd be more inclined to chuck Derik into the orchestra one to scold Mina over her terrible guitar care. ^_~
~Neshomeh
See this post. Needs deletion, by an admin, which I am not.
If they come back, I'll block them for longer.
~Neshomeh
No pressure, I was just trying to round up a couple more contestants.
And I'm sure Mina would enjoy tolerate respond to that somehow. (I appreciate that you remember my agent! ^_~)
Your Neocities site won't load from my computer, it says that it's insecure for some reason. And thanks to that, I can't read one last TOS mission. If you know anything about that, that'd be great.
Aside from that, what are your recommended fic hosting sites?
Just to clarify, is it just the one TOS mission that won't load, or anything on Neocities at all? And, is this a school computer, a home computer...? Do you have restrictions on what you can access?
For fic-hosting, it kind of depends on how much you want to put into it. I like Neocities because it lets me write my own HTML/CSS, and I like having that level of control over how my site looks and functions. For other people, that's way too much effort, but if you still want your own website rather than using AO3 or something, there are plenty of template-builder options. Tripod isn't bad; at least, it's been stable over the last couple decades, and not inclined to delete sites at random as far as I know. (I used to use them, but they stopped supporting the custom HTML site-builder and went with templates.)
There are also blog sites like Wordpress; I think a few people around here have used that. Dreamwidth is all right, too, though it's mainly designed for journaling, so you may run into character limits and other formatting restrictions.
Re. the BRN dramatic reading, I think you might mean Aegis? Huinesoron wasn't involved. {= )
~Neshomeh
Blogspot/Blogger, which supports html and lets you save multiple drafts to work on many posts at a time. However, it's a Google service, which can come with a few problems.
Wix, which allows sleek site designs and multiple tabs (good for keeping disclaimers and such somewhere easy to read, thus not having to type them every post), but doesn't have html editing, lacks many formatting options like different fonts in a single paragraph, super/subscript and mouseovers. You'll also need a separate app for editing on mobile.
Not on a personal computer or a school computer. Neocities...just no.
Thanks for the hosting advice.
(Oops, aplogies to hS and Aegis for confusing you. And Neshomeh is definitely Red from Overly Sarcastic Productions. Secretly.)
and you were protesting they didn't sound right. Didn't even cross my mind you meant me. :D
My voice is hearable [gestures vaguely] around. Various YouTube videos, Radio Plays, and Radio Nutmeg broadcasts. I have no idea which, if any, of those still survive.
hS
I also never imagined your voice sounding like it sounds, nor did I imagine you looking like you do. It's great, just a bit of a shock.I don't know why, but your voice (in my brain, at least) sounds deeper and American, but the latter is probably just "I'm American" since I know you're British (right?).
Also, for whatever reason, I imagined you looking like Quint Quarry. I honestly don't have a clue, just my mind. Maybe because Quarry is a more experienced villian than, say, Pynch, and you're an oldbie, so maybe it's the experience thing?
If it makes you feel better, I imagine Linstar as a Warriors cat, solely based on his username.
-kA, certain there is a point to make from this, but they don't know what it is.
But I might for the chance to spork the unClaimed non-NSFW Legendary Badfic, Starkit's Prophecy.
I chose my username because I liked the first three letters of my name, and, um, stars are cool. And, Kittyauthor? I now picture you as a cat. XD
The proper captialization is "Kittyauthor." I just write it "kA" to mimic hS.
-kA, who isn't mad, they promise, just tired.
What is the exact error message you're getting? What browser(s) are you using? And, again, are there any access restrictions you're aware of on either computer, or both? Any virus-scanning software or firewalls in common? Sometimes those can get a bit overzealous.
And, if anyone else is reading, are you able to access Neocities? It works for me on both my home laptop (Chrome) and my cell (Android).
~Neshomeh
Not sure what’s wrong with the computer, though. (It thinks Wikipedia is bad) Fortunately, I have other devices. In fact, I’ve finished TOS! Yay!
You might need to investigate your network settings and/or speak to whoever manages your network. (I'm not sure if you're living at home, on a campus, or what.) Since the site works on your cell/tablet/whatever, it could be because that uses a cellular network and isn't subject to the same rules.
Otherwise, we've reached the limit of my ability to troubleshoot with the amount of information you've given, so I'll just say good luck! I hope you figure it out.
~Neshomeh
Aside from being the #1 contributor on the My Immortal wiki, it's also how I found the PPC. (I'm listening to your dramatic reading of BRN right now.)
Three jump out to me, personally. All are NSFW, and two are definitely Bleepfic. The third is, to quote Nesh, "boring dubcon" but IMO it's worse than some of the Legendaries.
Rise of the Drackens is a Harry Potter fic. Basically, Harry discovers that he is an endangered Dark creature called a Dracken, and Dumbledore is extremely accommodating. The problem is that Drackens get soulmates, and Harry's soulmates (Blaise Zabini, Draco Malfoy, and two OCs) spend most of their time emotionally abusing him (which is portrayed as True Love).
This is all pretty standard until we get to Dumbledore setting up a hotel for Harry's various suitors and an entire chapter dedicated to brutal torture of a random bit character by Harry's mates. If you feel like learning more without reading it, the fic has its own wiki.
THE RIGHT MATE AT THE WRONG TIME has been missioned, and the mission serves as a decent summary: Bill Weasley is a werewolf who decides Hermione is his mate, every other male character finds Hermione irresistible (including Remus Lupin), and there is a ton of Ron-bashing. What the mission didn't get into was the guardian angels who then have to be rendered helpless whenever they could actually do anything and the mascara-wearing Acromantula. I don't know, either.
In third place is Undercover Woes, a Transformers fic. Bulkhead and Sentinel Prime have to infiltrate a super-conservative religious farming cult in the middle of nowhere for some reason... and their cover is that they're a married couple, which works until people notice that they aren't having children. The summary doesn't sound bad, but the fic has a gift of describing everything juuuuust well enough to be horrifying when considering the source material.
Saibankannokami Takara Kishimoto a.k.a. Bakara a.k.a. my all-times holder of the title of worst Sue ever in the Touken Ranbu fandom. She wins this title through sheer unlikability and implausibility; in short, she's incredibly abusive and tyrannical and has her abhorrent behavior excused as "tsundere", and is the granddaughter of a historical figure who's supposed to be dead 3 centuries before she was born. The four-part mission to this fic will tell you all you need to know.
Danisha Wood, the alleged heroine of the classic Back to the Frollo and its sequels and spin-offs. She's a 20th-century African-American teacher who goes back in time to medieval France and falls in love with the Disney version of Claude Frollo, who is portrayed as a promiscuous sex symbol with a harem in this fic. Highlights of Danisha's ugliness include forcing modern American culture on medieval Parisians, demonizing and assaulting Esmeralda for not submitting to Frollo, and being overtly racist against the Romani despite being unsubtle and obnoxious about her pride in her blackness.
