Can you give us a link? If the author doesn't say that it's a parody, and the writing doesn't look purposely bad, I would still say that it's a badfic. Maybe it's a troll?
I've found a fanfic that's extremely bad. However, the author admits this, and (I believe) is using it to parody badfics. Anyone interested?

Oh, sorry. I meant to put the link before.
It does look purposefully bad. The author is pretty good otherwise. And he somewhat admitted it's a parody. I don't know, YMMV.
If it is a parody, it's friggin' hilarious.

The author explicitly states in the author's note for chapter two that this fic parodies bad fanfic tropes. So it's a simultaneous trolling and sporking.
I personally found it pretty funny, especially the ending to chapter three. However, it's still pretty nauseating to read a lot of the standard badfic stuff, even in a parody.
Oh.
*Hits self* Stop ignoring author's notes!
It's good, though. Check out Silver resistance, same author. It's surprisingly good. Very long, though. You've been warned.
In that case, it's most probably a troll. Nice expression by the way.
