Ooh, I just came across this on Fanfiction.Net and boy, it was interesting. Check it out: http://m.fanfiction.net/s/9055520/1/
I think I'm going to check in Quotev...there's a lot of fangirls' (and Suethors') work in there.
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5747205/1/Somebody-To-Love
I found this one while looking for Data/Geordi fic. And then the first scene ends with the line "Kylie Ramirez was falling in love with Geordi La Forge!" The fic seems to be set post-Nemesis when Data is captain of the Enterprise, however it places Geordi as his first officer, which is uncanonical but should support slash (the TOS quote "at his side as if you've always been there and always will" seems appropriate). I'm especially irritated since the rest of the results for filtering through "romance" and "Data and Geordi" is mediocre slash. Not "Department of Bad Slash" bad, but not good either. I could keep complaining, but I'll stop.

I can't even read it since the author forgot that the enter key existed. All I'm getting is severe OOC on the part of Anubis. Poor Anubis.
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8599234/1/Black-Magic
The first chapter's...okay. The Sue's running through a rough part of New York City and talks about how people go through hard things, and it's decently written, which makes it meaningful enough. It's not great, but not bad.
And then the second chapter happens.
She ends up at Brooklyn House, acts completely disrespectful to Carter, teasing him worse than Sadie does, and she doesn't have the excuse of being his sister who actually cares about him. She calls him Cat. Cat. She also has to explain Hathor and Sekhmet to him. He was there! He defeated Sekhmet with salsa! And the Sue starts mouthing off to Sadie about dying her hair. Then she punches Anubis in the "family jewels". Yes, we're all going to love you when you insult our favorite characters!
Also, she seems to be hosting the female form of Anubis, Anput. She seems to have done her mythological research but not her "actually read the books research" which clearly states that Walt is the first person to follow the Path of Anubis, which I would assume includes the same powers. Also, people don't have to host a god that's the same gender as them.
I'm done complaining about these fics now.
Give me one good reason outside of schoolwork that anyone would write a story in a language they aren't completely fluent in. One reason. Ugh.
Midell Earth must be the largest, most cantankerous mini-Balrog ever to roam the Word Worlds.
Is the elven gene pool really so shallow that every OC in the fandom has to be the exiled daughter of Elrond?
Is the fangirl gene pool really so shallow that every author must mutilate the elven languages beyond recognition?
Okay, you know what? I'm going to stop asking rhetorical questions and go find some Bleeprin...
I don’t even write stories in German, but I had some good discussions in an international forum, so my reasons to write stories in a language I’m not completely fluent in would be:
1. I would reach many more readers than when I write in German.
2. This would increase my chance to be read by people I would actually like to meet.
3. Some people who know me and may be interested in reading my stories don’t understand my native language.
Hieronymus (now going to introduce himself at last).
Pretty much nobody would read my stuff if I wrote it in Italian... and besides, some of the people I do want to read it don't understand Italian, either.
I do think IrregularS is better off in English and posted on FF.net than in Italian on EFP.
...unless you aren't actually fluent in the language.
Middle Earth Training Academy
This Sue is taken to Middle Earth because the characters like her fanfiction and think she's talented enough to attend their special academy. She becomes a "Teleri sea-elf", accidentally hypnotizes Legolas with her hypnotic singing (which all Teleri elves are know for), hooks up with Legolas, etc.
I'd like to say that the author was inspired by OFUM but that would be an insult to Miss Cam.
Legomance #2
This Sue is an "Awaya", a made-up species with human bodies, cat ears, and fox tails, and comes with two Cute Animal Friends. She ages just like an elf and, unsurprisingly, is stronger/faster/more talented than an elf. Elves apparently like to kill the Awaya can't say I blame them. The author also mangles Sindarin, making "milock" the word for friend.
favorite quote: "That is rubies Asoon." Pretty sure the author meant to write "rubbish" but ... rubies it is!
The Circle of Lemmings is full of badfic. I'm skimming the summaries and my eyes are bleeding.
Breaking Down Walls
Malundomiel the Sue is a witch "from an ancient bloodline of magic", formerly under the influence of Sauron, with a magic Deux ex Machina necklace. Her eyes change color every minute and she gives people "forget-me-now" looks. Sue-witch is raised by Gandalf after her parents die, Galadriel is her godmother, and she steals lines from just about everyone.
I'm pretty sure this fic is also responsible Emyn Mule, whatever that spawns as.
Time for me to break out the Bleepka and Bleepolate Milk. I foresee Sue nightmares in my future.
...she gives you one of her forget-me-now looks.
And we have a mini-Balrog. Be sure to keep it fed.
How does a look manifest as a flower? Do the flowers replace her eyes? If so, do they change color every minute of the day as well? Do they grow to cover the entire eye socket or would I be treated to a tiny color-changing flower surrounded by empty eye sockets?
Yay, a mini-Balrog of my own!
The Middle Earth Training Academy is something I'd have been better off not looking at. Teleri sea-elves seem to be what happens to sirens of Classical Mythology are dipped in glitter, then deep-fried in some more glitter. And I belive that Legomance #2 contains a poor attempt at a catgirl. I am about to take a better look at the fic, but my tolerance for badfic hasn't had time to build up.
My tolerance for badfic isn't what it used to be so I only skimmed the second fic. It looks bad, though. Cute Animal Friends get counted in the Fellowship so there's twelve members instead of nine.
If this "Awaya" can hear for miles, the resulting biological adaptations would not be pretty (Think microbats). Also, she states her claws are "sharp as a wolf's". Canine claws are not sharp! They are blunted, and used for both running as well as digging. Not for hunting.
On a side note, I've just invented systemic bleeprin to help cope with this fic.
Hmm, considering I'm still a sane newbie (other than the mental scars I received from reading the first four chapters of Celebrian, as well as a couple of horrid One Direction real-person fics), my tolerance for badfic's still pretty high, which means I can scrutinize them. For now, I've only read the plot summaries, which seem bad. Like chunks of bad ideas put together.
I have looked into the void and the void looked back.
And from the void came a voice.
A voice that screamed, 'I'M NOT A MARY SUE'
It's probably Morgoth. He's bored, you know, so he took up the hobby of creating Sues...(not.)
If I look long enough, I'm sure I can find a Sue or three that defeat him and still make it back in time for afternoon tea.
Now, what is it that fangirls love to say again? Ah, of course. "Ikr?!?!?!"
Found a bad one for PMMM. http://www.fanfiction.net/s/9439488/1/Puella-Magi-Kaen-Magica
Shows a lack of understanding of the world of PMMM and how magic works there, various tragic pasts, an abuse of 'BTW', an obvious budding relationship between a Puella Magi and a non-canonical demon and, for some reason, despite the witches and location appearing to be exactly the same, she got the town's name wrong and there's no canon characters around. Not sure if I should whine too much about the rampant grammar and spelling errors, seeing as English may not be her first language (going off her location).
Because I found the page for that guy who did the Star Wars incest fic from before, and oh dear god he did a ton more stuff uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh
I guess that you have to mark it as NSFW (and NSFB if it is) but it's kosher. After all, people link to the Über Pit of Voles sometimes.
http://www.hentai-foundry.com/stories/user/BWP
This guy. THIS GUY. >_
...on a side note, Über Pit of Voles? :P Completely forgot what that is.
The Über Pit of Voles is adultfanfiction.net (NSFW, of course), AKA (according to the wiki) as the Pit of Rabid Horny Weasels. I guess we can all guess why.
...I'll link up that one most infamous and semi-memetic Star Fox rapefic. Someone needs to whack this thing.
Really not sure about this one, besides the fact that capital letters seem to be optional on names and places.
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/9506809/1/SHADOW-OF-LIGHT
Ouch, this one's horrible. The dialogue's so...um...I can't find words to describe the English in this fanfiction. If only we could cart every single one of these Suethors to the OFUs...
One of the characteristics appears to be a regular dropping of the definite article - "heir to potter family" - which feels like the work of someone who speaks a language which doesn't have them. Then there's the author's email username, which is 'swatiraviteja' - which, again, looks non-English (a personal name like 'swati raviteja', or 'swatira viteja').
Unfortunately I can't get past the language barrier to see whether the story itself is any good - but we don't pick on people for not speaking the language well, at least when we know about it.
hS
I know that the PPC doesn't pick on people just because they don't speak the language well.
The general jist of the story that I've got so far seems to be a wrong Boy-Who-Lived who appears to be a squib at first, is trained by the Goblins and the Flamels to become a super powered fighter before he can even go to Hogwarts, all the while picking up both Patil girls as friends (and something more) whilst also pretending to be the same timid person he's always been in his family (who are preparing to drain what magic he does have into his brothers body so that Harry is properly a squib and his brother is an even more powerful wizard).
Correct me if I'm wrong though, I could be.
Huinesoron, Storme Hawk, I agree with both of you. This writer may not be a native English speaker. However, it is really the OOC-ness that is present in the second and third chapter that made me wince. Lily, or rather 'Lilly', and James presenting their children like trophies, Albus Dumbledore 'scanning' the children as if they were barcodes, Harry suddenly becoming a squib...etc. Also, as seen in the first chapter, can Seers really write down prophecies they make? I thought they aren't self-aware when they make a prophecy, as seen in Prisoner Of Azkaban.
*gasp* I found another one! Boy, it was traumatizing. But when you're being told to read poorly-written One Direction fanfiction once a week, you take it better. The truth is, I didn't have to venture so deep for this, alright, here it is: http://www.quotev.com/story/3548638/Menelwen-of-Rivendell-A-Legolas-Love-Story-also-posted-on-Wattpad-by-me/1
Menelwen is Sauron's niece and is almost as powerful as the Ring. She's more talented than the rest of the Fellowship, as pretty or prettier than Arwen, and her voice is apparently "basically irresistible".
Highlights from the fic include the One Ring whispering in "the black rogue", Mithril pants, and unintelligible phrases like "yet you have Frodo your trust" and "we were cursed of of which a curse of evil, and evil may touch the curse."
Sounds like a classic Sue to me.
Thank you for all your concern. Well, I'm used to it because I tolerate my fangirl best friend almost everyday. She makes me go on Quotev to read the "like, sooooooo awesome fanfics!!1!!" and well, the only reason why I'm hanging out with her is because she's really nice. Oh yes, Huinesoron, thank you very much for your advice. I actually created some of the threads on accident due to my lack of experience on forums and things like that. I can assure you now that I will not go around creating a lot of new threads. :)
Wow, is quotev really so terrifying? Good luck, then! I hope you retain your, uh... well, not sanity entirely but... ability to function.
If you meet a Sue, it will be hacked. If you meet a grammar mistake, it will be parsed.
From the files of Agent Kyaris, Department of Intelligence:
Here, take this -gives lemming repellent and a poncho- and this -gives tiny Samwise the Brave and the phial of Earendil- with you!
I am not certain how resistant this item is to uncanon, or how it can combat it. However this generous gift deserves an ä out of sheer respect.
Being that I am not that versed in LoTR lore, what is this vial/phial?
It holds the light of Eärendil, which is fairly unpleasant (read: massively painful) for evil to see.
And it's a huge-arse Chekhov's Gun.
So, this PPCer got a supernatural flashlight with Smite Evil on it.
Autumn, no!
It's too dangerous to go alone!!!
Quotev is terrifying place.
