NSFW, NSFB warnings - PPC Posting Board

Subject: NSFW, NSFB warnings

NSFW contains nudity, sex, or strong language. Smutfic is always NSFW, and a good deal of bad slash and bad het also are. NSFW is what gets you in trouble with your parents or your boss. (Conceivably.)

"NSFB" is short for "not safe for brain"; sanity-destroying material. Can be so brain-breakingly bad that your logic centers fry, but can also be the insanity-inducing qualities of a NSFW fic. All legendary badfics are NSFB.

So you can warn for one or both of those; your wording suggested NSFB but didn't warn NSFW.

Anyway, now you know. :)

...Has anyone ever heard of the Girls (Scream) Aloud fanfic? ...I think that there's something wrong with the author's sanity...

Do you think that this fic qualifies as badfic enough? by The 9th Blue Mage on 2010-09-08 03:13:00 UTC Reply

I know that anyone's sanity will probably be challenged by this nsfw fic, but still, with all the blood, unneeded sexism, and the craziness of the author, I don't want to say that it isn't badfic, especially if Real-Life people are involved like this...

I'd say it's either Legendary Badfic, Bleepfic or... by MAXinsanity on 2010-09-08 20:31:00 UTC Reply

...Something so terrible we should refuse to acknowledge its existence.

I'd say Legendary. by Laburnum on 2010-09-11 00:08:00 UTC Reply

The writer actually got arrested over it, though he was acquitted once it was proven that he'd taken reasonable precautions to stop Girls Aloud or their fans finding it by accident. If that doesn't make Legendary, I don't know what does.

Yeah. by The 9th Blue Mage on 2010-09-11 00:54:00 UTC Reply

I've heard about the arresting thing also.

Yeah, I think that it should be legendary, or at least a very horrible and horrifying badfic. I, in order to spare everybody from a fic like this, would really like to ppc it if I am ever allowed to, but even then, with my parents the way they are about the email thing, I don't know how I can.

Whoa! NSFW Warning on that! by JulyFlame on 2010-09-06 05:20:00 UTC Reply

Linking without mentioning that it is NSFW is not cool at all.

Don't do that again, okay?

Sorry by The 9th Blue Mage on 2010-09-06 05:30:00 UTC Reply

I should've put that there...Sorry! I thought that you would get the message when I said sanity there...heheh...

Yeah: I put a "warning" up there, but maybe I should've worded it better...

We throw around the word "sanity" all the time by Sedri on 2010-09-07 00:08:00 UTC Reply

It's rather lost its value as a warning. As long as you know for next time, no worries.

Just a Warning... by AmitiRequiem on 2010-09-06 05:17:00 UTC Reply

From what I'm hearing, this is EXTREMELY NSFW. It's an original piece of fiction that is so vile and scandalous that the author was sent to court on charges of obscenity. Mind, he was cleared of said charges, but the whole thing still oozes of do not want. It involves kidnapping, raping, and butchering children. I hope I'm not overreacting, but I really do think that everyone deserves a fair warning before clicking that link. ._.

Nuh-uh by Sister-to-the-Queen on 2010-09-06 11:31:00 UTC Reply

I just read the forword by the author. I will read no further. I don't care what kinds of excuses (s)he gives,
anyone who writes a fic with THAT kind of content ought to be broken on the rack.

S-l-o-w-l-y.
Too late. The Pain. It NSFB! by Silverwind on 2010-09-06 05:37:00 UTC Reply

AAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!! THE PAIN!!!!

I had to say it, I just had to say it. I just had to ask 'how bad could it be?' Well I got my answer. It's bad. Really, really, really, bad. thirteen PGGBB's bad. Feel your IQ dropping as you read it bad. GRAPEFRUIT BAD (sorry to those agents I just gave flashback to). I vote to have this one added to legendary bad fic, if it is not all ready there. The warning should have tipped me off but I just had to look. I think I'm in shock.

Sorry abou that... by The 9th Blue Mage on 2010-09-06 05:43:00 UTC Reply

I should've warn you, sorry about that.
Yeah, I've only remembered that I should've put NSFW, but it seems that it's NSFB as well, it seems...
Yeah, it should be a legendary badfic...

I'm an idiot by The 9th Blue Mage on 2010-09-06 05:31:00 UTC Reply

Sorry: I promise that it won't happen again...

As long as you understand... by AmitiRequiem on 2010-09-06 05:34:00 UTC Reply

Indeed. Just don't let it happen again, yes.

... by The 9th Blue Mage on 2010-09-06 05:40:00 UTC Reply

Sorry...won't let it happen again...sorry...
I tend to do things before thinking about the consequences...so yeah...
(BTW, would I be mad and suicidal if I try to kill it when I get permission, because Girl Aloud is a real-life band, or am I too newbish to take on something like this, or is it just not allowed at all to be taken on...?

*hugs* by AmitiRequiem on 2010-09-06 06:05:00 UTC Reply

Ok, ok. Everyone makes mistakes. DX Now I feel like the bad guy here.

As for the badfic, I'm pretty sure there is nothing wrong with taking it on (with warnings for the readers, of course =P). If you really believe you can PPC it, then do it. It will certainly be...an experience.

I would take it on when I get permission, but... by The 9th Blue Mage on 2010-09-06 06:27:00 UTC Reply

I don't know where to write any missions at at all, since I don't know what my email thing is, and nobody at my home is giving me permission very soon.

It's okay, don't blame yourself: Me not wording things very good happens quite a bit.

Have a link? (nm) by Silverwind on 2010-09-06 04:51:00 UTC Reply

Um... by The 9th Blue Mage on 2010-09-06 04:53:00 UTC Reply

I just put one up, but I don't know if your sanity can take it...

Peanut Bandanna by Silverwind on 2010-09-06 05:17:00 UTC Reply

I'm peanut bandanna crazy. And besides, how bad could it be? *somewhere, the laws of Narrative Comedy took note*

Wait... by The 9th Blue Mage on 2010-09-06 05:32:00 UTC Reply

That's seriously NSFW, by the way...
