...As a general guideline, I, at least, prefer that cowrites that operate like this are done with people who have experience writing missions already, rather than people who have recently gained permission and haven't yet written many missions yet.

The idea with allowing it this- people without permission cowriting with someone who does- is so that people who are doing it can gain experience by working with someone who has experience already.

Since I don't see a badfic thread at the moment... by Jopalopa on 2012-05-10 03:27:00 UTC Reply

I know I usually just lurk, but this HAD to be posted: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8074415/1/

It's Phineas and Ferb, and it's called "canduzy". As in Candace/Suzy... sigh. I could rant all day. About the only positive things I could find are:

1) Everyone's mostly in character, at least at the start, and
2) Stacy is a hilarious audience surrogate.

As for the negatives... well, read for yourself.

Beyond that, you didn't remind people that it is NSFW, and you used a suspicious addition to the URL.

Rule 25 of the PPC Constitution: by Neshomeh on 2012-06-03 21:32:00 UTC Reply

"Trolls (those who create deliberately bad/annoying stories, reviews or comments for the express purpose of irritating or enraging others) will be ignored or mocked for entertainment. That includes PPCers who act as trolls — you have been warned. It is not clever to deliberately antagonise others in the community, and it is not clever to crow about antagonising people outside the community, either."

Trolling is bad. Instead of an apology, try promising not to do it again. Otherwise, like it says, you have been warned.

Just a thought... by Tray-Gnome on 2012-06-01 01:51:00 UTC Reply

Speaking as somebody who regularly checks the Board (every few hours or so), I've noticed something.

The badfic thread is huge. As of 19:40 (my time), the front page of the Board had a total of 533 posts. This is roughly 22 pages worth of scrolling. The badfic thread alone has 142 posts. This roughly (excuse my horrible math skills) 25% of the total posts on the Board. That is a lot of posts.

Now, I know that we have reasons for posting all the badfic posts in one thread, and I see most of them as being good ones. However, well, 142 posts is a lot. For me, this is five screens worth of scrolling, which can be annoying when I'm looking for new posts further down.

I don't know if I'm the only one who has a problem with this, so I guess I'd like to put forth a couple of questions.

1) Is the badfic thread too long?
2) Should we have some standards for badfic thread lengths before we start a new one?
3) If so, what should they be?

An idea? by VixenMage on 2012-06-01 02:08:00 UTC Reply

What if we put this whole lovely thread out in the Alternate Board, where it can expand and explode to its heart's content, while the rest of 'Board traffic runs on unimpeded?

It's good to see people not afraid to share their opinions. by Huinesoron on 2012-06-02 09:09:00 UTC Reply

It's one of the best things about the Board, in my opinion (which is why the Constitution is so vehement about it).

My opinion is that doing any of the things suggested here would be a bad idea - this is the PPC Board, after all, if we can't talk about badfic here We Are Doing It Wrong. But that's my opinion, and my opinions - when they're not in my areas of authority (being me, my stuff, and The Giving Of Permission) are just as (un)important as everyone else's. See the somewhere-around-here discussion on Moderators And How We Do Not Have Them.

And you know what? I think it's great. I think it's brilliant that people can choose to ignore me as they decide how to post on their Board.

Alternately... by JulyFlame on 2012-06-01 02:17:00 UTC Reply

We could, y'know. Put the Unclaimed/Claimed Badfic lists to use.

The Unclaimed Badfic list has only been edited all of once since this thread started, and that was only one fic added by a single newbie, as compared to the mass that is clustered here.

Why don't we do both? by Phobos on 2012-06-01 13:11:00 UTC Reply

Move badfic threads to the other board so people can post to their hearts' content. At the same time, encourage them to put the Unclaimed/Claimed Badfic lists to use.

There is no reason that both can't happen.

As the thread starter, I agree. by Jopalopa on 2012-06-02 18:40:00 UTC Reply

The thing is, moving it to the alternate thread would be relatively easy, whereas is could be tricky getting the Unclaimed Badfic page updated. I think someone should be designated to continually check the thread for badfics not on the page and then transfer them over. (Not me - though I would if I could.)

Or people can, y'know, do it themselves. by JulyFlame on 2012-06-02 19:03:00 UTC Reply

It's not that difficult, and if they think it is bad enough to report to the board at large but not want to take it themselves, they should add it themselves.

One of my points to having it be on the other 'Board, the others of which include things like "Let's not tell people what they're not allowed to talk about unless they're breaking rules," and "If people are enjoying it, maybe killing it isn't a bad thing," and "Badfic threads will continue to pop up, so we might as well come up with a Solution, rather than a temporary avoid," so on and so forth.

If this exactly counts, but... Hoo boy. It's bad. It's really bad. Harry Potter and the Marriage Contracts

The writing is okay, and there are very few grammar/spelling or other errors, but... Wow. I didn't think it was possible to bend Harry Potter canon that far (please, don't mention My Immortal), but wow.

Harry and Neville are...mostly alright. Hermione's become some sort of...out-of-character person obsessed with sex (at least it's only with Ron), Ron is evil, Ginny's a skanky whore (no, I am not exaggerating that, nor insulting the character), and the Weasleys--with the exception of Mr. Weasely and the Twins--are pretty much evil. Haven't found the two oldest yet, but... *sighs* Then there's the fact that Harry's revenge throughout the story is over the top in violence and cruelty. Also, Dumbledore is still alive and a complete and utter berk, along with being dark-grey evil and manipulative.

Have I missed anything? Sheesh. That's the last time I click on a link from TVTro... Oh hey, a link! (Completely SFW unless you're on the receiving end of Fegel's antics.)

Because, apparently, there weren't enough children on the deep space mining vessel, so now there is one.

Among other offences, it features a Sue with a serious attitude problem, who hates Rimmer and manages to instantly befriend Lister. She then gets herself frozen in stasis (without anyone else noticing), and after waking scene steals Rimmer and Lister's first meeting with Cat. Oh yeah, she's also on board, as a 12 year old, because she's the captain's niece (that seems to be the only reason so far).

Trigger warning! (Just to be safe): Death of parents and child abuse. Not much detail, but hey, better safe than sorry? Oh, and bullying.
The author has already had two reviews warning that the main character may become a Sue, but she already appears to be one. To me, at least. I can't just trust my own judgements though, haha... ^^
From what I can tell, she's making all of the characters fall for her. It's quite bad.
She also has a depressing backstory (see trigger warning) and survived an attack from Belarus. And punched America in the face. And can do magic better than England. (Although, thinking about it, most people could. Or could they? Darn fanon influencing my thoughts.)
Although, I was amused when the Sue first met Germany. She isn't at all fazed by a strange German asking her questions... she simply asks "Are you on steroids?" XD
I guess even some badfics have some good qualities.

Here's a Harry Potter one:

It's titled "Rose Evans story" and it centers around Lily Evans having a twin named Rose. A medium amount of bad grammer, and some parts are almost copy and pasted from Harry Potter itself. I'm only on chapter 3 of 11 but it doesn't show any signs of getting better. It doesn't have a plot yet, either.

Really gut-suckingly bad Potterverse/Rose of Versailles Sue by AnnaBee on 2012-05-23 20:38:00 UTC Reply

http://fav.me/d3p0job

Snape-luster fangirl with a Rose of Versailles/Harry Potter 'verse Sue. Her English is not very good and I skimmed most of her ranting, here are the high points:

"The story of Emily 2 (the version of 2011) begins in September 1993 where she is 28 and the Muggle aunt of Lavender Brown who has no clue about the magical world.... She visits her sister in England and want to bring her niece to the Hogwarts Express, but because she has to carry one of Lavender suitcases inside the train, she's still there when the trains starts. And after Remus Lupin discovers her, he's not sure what to do with her, so he sents her later to the castle. Emily has to stay the whole year, cause the Ministry of Magic sees of the possibility that Sirius Black tries to kill or use her in order to get nearer to Harry Potter and so she has to stay with Severus Snape down in the dungeons, cause he should protect her and has an extra room in his flat. (Actually all of this is a secret plan of Dumbledore to bring her close to Snape and to seal his loyalty to the good side)"

... Half of one question in a 21 question FAQ. =_=

"17. How can you say that Emily isn't a Mary Sue or a self-insert character when she looks totally like you?
At first I'm not looking exactly like her (nor would I wear everything of her clothes) and second, it was more that I designed Emily first with the red hair (I always loved that hair colour) and then became myslef more and more like her by dying my hair and let it grow long. Finally I wanted to cosplay her and so it is necessary to look like the character, isn't it?"

...So she's turning herself into her Sue, not the other way around.

She also has a rather 'lovely' rant on why she hates Lily Evans, which can be found here: http://fav.me/d3pn8ch

Since this is the badfic thread by Dragormir on 2012-05-22 23:57:00 UTC Reply

May I present The Marines have landed . If you're from New Zealand, I suggest drinking a large amount of alcohol first. Ditto if you're a Marine. Ditto if you're a member of the military, or study history or...

What the bleeping bleep was this person thinking before writing this? I don't... What... *eye twitches* As the member of a heavily-military oriented family, I find this so bleeping offensive. (I've also borrowed a tv studio's profanity filter so I can write this rant.)

The writing itself isn't bad, if the writer were a beginning or mid-level ESL student. It follows most conventions, although it doesn't grasp any form of punctuation. And has no grasp of history... Or...

*sighs* You'd think someone posting in the Hogan's Heroes fandom would know better. Or could at least do a little basic research for World War Two. What's really insulting is that the Mary Sue in this story is almost an expy of the writer--who is from New Zealand, I'm so sorry--except "speshuler". It's just... *headdesks repeatedly in hopes of a concussion*

It's not NSFW, but I find it rather painful to read. 'scuse me, I've got to return a filter and find a bottle of bleepka.

If I had to guess, New Zealand didn't have a Marine Corps at the time and even if they did they wouldn't be fighting World War II in Europe.

There were a few things that made me head-tilt; I haven't seen Hogan's Heroes and maybe it's just a fixture of the show but allowing a POW to be interrogated in any other situation besides alone and in a 2x4 seems like a terrible idea. Insubordination. Disrespecting superiors. Being a senior field grade officer in enemy territory for classified reasons. Attempting to acquire classified information from allies. Conduct unbecoming an officer. Improper conduct during capture. Multiple counts of assault on the English language. Women in a combat branch.

Sound about right?

It is unfortunate that not all authors you'll encounter are willing to listen to criticism. This does not and never will give you free reign to stoop to base insults aimed at another human being.

Aspergers what. by firemagic on 2012-05-21 16:41:00 UTC Reply

OK, what the frig? So much wrongness. Applejack is now Texas apparently. Also, since I myself do have mild Aspergers, yeah, there's no way that Fluttershy has it. If anypony has it, it's definitely Twilight. But on the other hand, this isn't Aspergers; clearly it's aspersers, a strange Mary-Sue-induced disease that causes violent, rude personality shifts when the person who has it comes into contact with a religious Mary Sue.

Wait... What?! by AnnaBee on 2012-05-22 17:58:00 UTC Reply

*I* have Asperger's Syndrome, and it *does* come in a couple of different flavors... but NOT LIKE THAT.

Asperger's is kinda like the Death Note, in that it takes your most extreme traits, warps them, and accentuates them into Very Bad Things. Most people who have it already tend to be logical, passionately interested in a few things, socially awkward, and shy... so it makes us tend to be nigh-robotic, nigh-obsessive, and have difficulties relating to normal humans.

And ranty. Did I mention ranty? XD

Okay. Point is... if Fluttershy had Asperger's, which she most definitely does not, it wouldn't mean she'd run around cursing at people. She'd be even shyer than usual, have a hard time talking about anything but animals, and not be able to look at people in the eye. That's about it.

The characters from Madoka, Nanoha and Dog Days (another series made by the ones who made Madoka. Not as successful, AFAIK) get ahold of so-called G-Terminals, that allows them to fight with Digimon-like Gundams. The plot is flimsy and the prose is hard to follow.

Not to mention that the depiction of Nanoha is... aaargh. There's no way Nanoha would treat Madoka in such a way.

At least, the guy/gal behind it got a reference right. Nanoha's Gundam is the RX-78-2. Both are called White Devil, and one of the lesser used nicknames for Nanoha is "RX-78-2 in schoolgirl dress"

A Short summary of Stupid by firemagic on 2012-05-16 23:14:00 UTC Reply

So, we start off with our two main Sues, Sarah Noppers, aka Seranop, who's apparently Japanese and telepathic, and Lucia Sennen (same name as the author). Through the magic of a bad satellite connection, they get sent into Yu-Gi-Oh. Lucia gets a Millenium KEYCHAIN, a shiny personalized card, an Egyptian-god-induced makeover, and a new name (Sapphire Shuja) She promptly proceeds to, I assume, break the plot, and cheating her way through. Now, onto the part that REALLY bugs me.

See, apparently, Vivio Takamachi (Nanoha and Fate's adopted daughter--this is a MGLN and YGO crossover) somehow got a hold of a Device and teleported herself to Earth (even though she already has a device and doesn't know HOW to teleport.) Nanoha, apparently forgetting that she was born on Earth and has family there, as well as there being two former admirals living there, laments that Earth is a planet of nonmagical people and therefore she can't, you know, call up her parents (her aunt is the head of an antiterrorism agency, her father is a former ninja bodyguard with Connections, her two elder siblings are also ninjas, she is personal family friends with an insanely rich European singer, you get the idea) or go to Earth herself, or tell the police there that a blond girl with green/red heterochromia has gone missing. Nope, Vivio, who for WHATEVER REASON decided to NOT call up her grandparents, decides to change her name to Sarah Noppers and gets adopted immediately by the Sennens, apparently without anyone asking where she came from, where her parents are, anything reasonable. Then, even though Nanoha exists in this universe and the Sue-group is all huge fans of it, no one connects the two. Oh yeah, there's three auxilliary Sues who get introduced many chapters in, and apparently one of them is... freakishly obsessed with Fate, to the point of wearing clothes themed after her and making herself look like the spitting image of Fate. Again, Vivio never notices the connection between fangirl!Sue and her mom, and apparently takes the news that she's fictional quite well. Then, somehow, they get a visit from Chrono, who, AGAIN, doesn't seem to notice that his adopted niece is right there, and confuses Fangirl!Sue for Fate. They all get ripoff devices and go on to wreck more plot.

And yes, I probably missed many, many, manymanymany stupid things. But, I don't know Yu-Gi-Oh outside of riffing a few episodes with my friends and watching the Abridged Series, so I can't do this alone. Please help, Boarders, you're my only hope.

Re: A Short summary of Stupid by firemagic on 2012-05-17 13:27:00 UTC Reply

And, JUST from chapter 6:

Agito goes to Earth to get a letter from Vivio. So, they KNOW WHERE SHE IS, YET THEY DON"T GO GET HER. Also, Agito is a six-inch-tall fire-mage flying person, who of course can just go to the postal office and grab a letter.
Somehow, Lucia has enough magic to take out Nanoha and Fate at once. At age nine.
The Sennen family decides to adopt Vivio, assumes she's Japanese (even though she doesn't look anything like a Japanese person, being blond and having Christmas-tree eyes), she takes a new name for NO REASON, and... Oh wait, I already ranted about this. Ugh.....
Re: A Short summary of Stupid by firemagic on 2012-05-16 23:18:00 UTC Reply

Oh yeah--Vivio is from Mid-Childa, an alien world. She shouldn't know how to speak Japanese, or know anything about it aside from what her mothers have told her. And, somehow, the Chinese all hate the Japanese... What? She shouldn't be able to even speak any Earth languages, or be able to get through their civilization, which is full of stuff she has no clue how to use. I doubt Nanoha and Fate told her about, say, public transportation on Earth, or the currency, or the languages, or the major cultures, or anything that wouldn't make her sound like a complete nutjob. Also, Vivio is six.

Um, I know both MGLN and Yu Gi Oh well. I read the fic. It's atrociously terribad. Aside from what you noted, there are instances of fangirl Japanese, bad SPaG, Minis, bad fangirl Japanese (ie, putting Japanese in the 'fic and getting it /wrong/), uncanon spells, uncanon YGO cards, uncanon Devices...
Also, the bnei zonot turned Mokuba and Seto Kaiba into misogynistic bastards, drove all of the canons so OOC they can't touch canon with an elven-feet pole, and have no idea how Yu Gi Oh (the game) works, either in the animé or IRL.
I can go on and on, but this, and what you've noted, is enough to say that this 'fic is terribad. I'd very much like to help you with it, but I must note that I haven't got my permission yet (though I'm working on it).

I was going over your missions, and I noticed that you got a charge wrong in the first one. The charge in question, having a Barrier Jacket without having an Intelligent Device, is wrong, because multiple people who don't use Intelligent Devices have Barrier Jackets -- Chrono (his Devices, S2U and Durandal are Storage Devices), Yuuno (doesn't use a Device), Vita, Shamal, Signum, Hayate, Erio and Sister Schach (who all use Armed Devices) are all examples of that.
Also, thanks for the encouragement.

Are we seeing the same thing? (NSFW and rant warning) by ShatteredSanity on 2012-05-15 18:02:00 UTC Reply

What I'm reading is a completely random setup that breaks many of the rules of the canon and forces the characters to act OOC.

The first chapter alone has major levels of OOCness. Xemnas and Axel are not people to be effed with, and could probably KILL the two OC nobodies that are introduced to keep Axel from leaving.

In the second chapter, Sora hand an OC his keyblade. Let me say that again: Sora hands her his keyblade. This. Is not. Possible. Keyblades are very very picky about their wielders, and unless this random OC is a wielder, this should not happen. For example, Sora handed Jack Sparrow his keyblade, and it almost immediately teleported back to his hand. This is what should happen.

Then, she starts attacking Sora, with his own weapon, while screaming "WHY DID YOU KILL THE ORGANIZATION? THEY. WERE. MY. FRIENDS! WHY COULDN'T YOU JUST KILL MANSEX AND LEAVE EVERYONE ELSE ALONE?" Or at least I think it’s her, there isn't a tag next to it. Anyone who knows canon knows that the Organization needed to be stopped. They were hurting people. "They were my friends?" None of them had friends except for Axel,Xion, and Roxas, who were a special case. And how are they her friends? "Why couldn't you just kill Mansex and leave everyone else alone?" Because Xemnas wasn't the only one responsible for hurting people.

"Angie threw the keyblade, which hit Xemnas in the face, then retrieved it, and pulled Sora's underwear over the top causing THE ULTIMATE WEDGIE!"

...You find this funny? You don't see a problem with this? Because I do. This OC should be dead by now.

The next two dares involve Cloud, Sephiroth, and Master Xehanort. Cloud. Sephiroth. Master Xehanort. Do I need to point out what's wrong with this and why the OC should be dead by now?

And not only does MX comply with the dare, but it shows a complete lack of respect towards his character. And this isn't the only dare that shows a lack of respect either. It goes on and on.

This isn't funny. This doesn’t show respect towards the characters. This isn't a good fanfic.

Hey, Calm down. Fanfic isn't all SRS BSNS. It's not even a serious fic, in fact. It's just meant to be a random, silly fic, where people can do silly and humiliating things to characters they enjoy.

I am a massive fan of the Kingdom Hearts series. In fact, I have beaten every game that has been released in Europe, perhaps, that is why I like this fic, even though the writing could use a lot of work.

Sometimes it's FUN to see characters acting OOC, for comedies sake. Even actual canons do it. Generally in the form of joke endings in videogames (Like Blazblue's joke endings.)

Not every fic has to be completely serious. Not every fic has to completely follow canon. We don't spork crackfic, after all. :)

The best crack... by Ellipsis Flood on 2012-05-16 12:05:00 UTC Reply

...is still the crack that's completely in(s)ane and yet manages to make you think that it's not even that far out.

Another thing I noticed: The two OCs are Heartless. I don't know that much about Heartless, but aren't they supposed to be personified darkness/evil? Well, it does explain their behavior a bit.

*points at the paragraph above* And this is how the PPC approaches fics like these.

"Just as with any type of fanfiction, crackfic may be good or bad.
Some badfic authors will attempt to account for their less-than-stellar
work by excusing it as crackfic and saying it wasn't meant to be taken
seriously. Particularly bad trollfics may stray into crackfic territory."
This was taken from the wiki's page on crackfic. Something can be silly and fun, without the character's needing to be OOC.

I am also a fan of the Kingdom Hearts series. When I see the characters I love being made to wear Tu-tus, I get angry. (Yes that is in there.)

No, fanfiction does not have to be serious business, but canon does. Most fics should follow the canon.

Oh WablooSwabloo... by Bronwyn on 2012-05-31 20:28:00 UTC Reply

Never stop writing. I forgot how terrible and yet oddly hilarious his fics are. I'm also amused by how it seems that he doesn't quite like any of his main characters, but still insists on using them and the setting.

It's like ShakespeareHemmingway, but not as 'gentle' with it's initial mind-melting. This is more... Pan-galactic Gargle Blaster level of mind melt, rather than 'waking up in a tub of ice with your hope for humanity gone, and hazy memories of being on the computer all night the previous...'

Teal deer: WablooSwabloo is remarkably more blunt, but ShakespeareHemmingway gets you both when you read, and again later when you stop laughing and actually think about it.

Also, Best Mini-Aragog ever: Snappledapple (Snape). I think I might have to adopt it, for it is the best typo ever.

Two things. by JulyFlame on 2012-05-14 17:31:00 UTC Reply

1) Please do not quote things that have language like that without a warning in the future.

2) Why "bemused hostility"?

Sorry, flame. 0_0 by AnnaBee on 2012-05-14 17:56:00 UTC Reply

It's because Harry Potter is my childhood. Bemused laughter, because it's insane. Hostility, because I love Harry Potter to death and seeing it butchered like this raises my hackles.

Yeah, sorry, no. by JulyFlame on 2012-05-14 17:59:00 UTC Reply

"Hostility" does not fly. We do not express or hope with hostile intent against authors. That is not on.

And if you're going to call me that, capitalize it. My name is a proper noun.

Not hostile towards the author... by AnnaBee on 2012-05-14 19:35:00 UTC Reply

Hostile towards this nauseating clusterfudge of a badfic. :P

And all right, Miss Flame.

I just might pull this one to the side and do a "Sorting Room reaction" with this.

"She's the youngest hacker in the world, and Johann Schmidt wants her to use her for his latest plan to rule the world. She's placed under the protection of the Avengers, with Hawkeye taking aim on her heart. Is she the new Avenger? Clint/OC."

Not only a genius hacker, but a highly skilled fighter and Hawkeye's equal when it comes to aiming ranged weapons.

Splendor of God.

What I got from the first two paragraphs:

1. She's an insufferable twit who speaks in run-ons and fragments.

2. She is computersexual or something. -_-

Adding! by Mysterial on 2012-05-10 03:47:00 UTC Reply

I shall report Life of Sara Gallar, an unapologetic Pirates of the Caribbean sue.

The sue is, in the Suethor's own words, "a daughter of a rich and powerful man in Port Royal. She don´t like her life that she is living now. She wants something different. She love pirates stories and when she is on her way to England her big adventure beggins."

This fic is notable for the horrible grammar, cliched plot, and the absolute devastation of Davy Jones' character.

Also, she puts spaces before and after every apostrophe like: "you ' re", which really bugs the hell out of me. I don't know why, it just does. A lot.

This fic involves a severely OOC Riku, who is sexually assaulted by some disgusting, lecherous...thing pretending to be Simba. SIMBA, for glarung's sake!

The spelling and grammar are surprisingly good, but this only makes the whole thing worse.

I read an MST of this fic, which was coincidentally the ONLY MST I've ever read where the author literally just gave up, it was so bad. Here's proof: http://heartless-fics.livejournal.com/65199.html

I demand that this thing be sporked. Then burned, with an exorcist present to attend to the ashes. I mean, SHEESH! There are lines that just shouldn't be crossed, especially with Disney characters...
