To me, a bad fanfic that is So Bad It's Good may be that way for a number of reasons. They usually have to do with the writing itself.

At the moment I'm following a particular badfic with many misused words. I have counted two instances where the word defiantly was used instead of definitely.

Sometimes the syntax makes a story hilarious. Misplaced modifiers and sloppy sentence structure can make the characters appear to be doing some incredibly absurd things.

And then there are unintentionally funny descriptions, such as "long white ankle hair".
