Well, it looks like Bleepfic has won. Still, it's so close, it wouldn't be fair to snub any of the other terms, since they're so popular, so I've made a new article at the wiki entitled Bleepfic, but all the major runners-up are mentioned there as well. Please, take a look and make any additions you like. I've also adjusted the Legendary Badfic page to reflect the new disctinctions.

Thanks to all of you for helping :)

Is sounds about right to me... *casts vote*

This is fun :)

Okay, we seem to have some clear favourites - the following have at least five votes each:
* Glaurunging Badfic
* AUGHfic
* Bleepfic

These have one vote each:
* Extremely Bad Fic
* Incredibly!Badfic
* Ewwfic
* ODEfic (for Oh Dear Eru)
* HorriFic
* Abominable Badfic

And these, which I'd like you all to look at, just to be fair, have been suggested since my first post (I assume everyone's looked at them already, but still):
* SickFic
* Worsefic (which has two votes already)
* Crukfic
* MorphFic
* Blechfic
* Squickfic
* C*l-level

A few arguments have been made against some of the options:
* Squickfic - could be used already to describe fics that are intentionally written badly
* AUGHfic - is rather generic
* Glaurunging Badfic - relies on obscure LotR knowledge (who Glaurung is)
* Bleepfic - relies on PPC in-knowledge.


Going purely by numbers, we seem to have a three-way tie, so if you all don't mind, I'd appreciate it if you'd vote again for one of the following three:
* Glaurunging Badfic
* AUGHfic
* Bleepfic
- or throw your vote in favour of one of the new or so-far-not-favoured options listed above.

Please only vote once, as it's rather hard to keep an accurate tally when people give me three favourites, in ranking order. Remember, we can always use 'losing' terms to refer to these fics anyway, just as long as we have one 'standard' that will be the title of the wiki article, for example. (Really, how many things around here have just one name? And it's not as though I'm going to jump down your throats for using the 'wrong' term...)


My vote is for "Bleepfic".

AUGHfic is rather generic, Glaurung isn't restricted to the PPC (and some people might not know who he is), but I find the idea of a 'Bleepfic' automatically unnapealing and very PPC.

(Although it feels weird to type that many -ng endings onto a word.) Failing that, Extremely Badfic.
(Horrorfic and HorroFic sound like a legitimate variation of Dark Fic or a term for crossovers with a horror movie.)

Can I nominate "The Horribly Bloody Death of Kairi" for the list?

I like AUGHfic and Glarunging Badfic.

It fits the heat of the moment usage quite nicely, and expresses the extreme frustration that is likely to be felt upon reading one of these.


Look! Baby dragons!

It gets the message across and rolls off the tongue nicely.

... but the glossary made by the BagEnders people gave the meaning of that as "fic written with the intention of squicking as many people as possible", and presumably most of the LBs weren't meant to be as bad as they are, so I don't know if that would work.

I'd vote for Bleepfic, Glaurunging Badfic or AUGHfic, personally.

Crukfic - "cruk" taken from Doctor Who.

MorphFic - wherein the Sue (or Stu) can morph into anything. Applies to Pokemorph fic and Animorphs fic.

Blechfic - NSFB fics. Grab the Bleeprin and the Suebuprofen.

Squickfic - NSFB. "Squick" taken from TVTropes.

C*l-level - on the level of C*l*br**n. Or beyond.

Primarily because it doesn't rely on PPC in-knowledge, like bleepfic, or semi-obscure fandom knowledge, like who Glaurung is.

"Worsefic".

As in, there's badfic, worsefic, and worstfic (aka Legendary Badfic).

Elcalion, coining neologisms

I love those suggestions.

I would suggest SickFic for the list of possibilities, if anyone else likes it. Of the choices already there, I like HorriFic the best.

1.) AUGHfic
2.) ODEfic
3.) Incredibly!Badfic

In order:

1. Abominable Badfic - "abominable" is a fun-to-say and underused word, and very apt without being too specific.

2. Glaurunging Badfic - very PPCish, but harder to say aloud.

3. Bleepfic - also very PPCish. I only worry that all other things Bleep are good things, so people might get confused and think it means fic that takes the pain of badfic away, or something.

I'd like to take back "horrorfic," because that could legitimately describe any fanfic, good or bad, in the horror genre.
