Anyone want to hold our own Golden Bubotuber Awards? by

Potter Sue of the Day regularly holds the Golden Bubotuber Awards, picking out the worst of the worst of the fanfics they find. The awards have such categories as "Worst Title", "Most Implausible Premise", "Worst Prose", "Silliest Name", "Most OOC Canon Character", and "Most Quotable Line". Everyone nominates their favourites, and then everyone votes for the winner in each category. I thought we could do something like that, except we have a much broader range of fics to choose from :) Any fic can be nominated for as many categories as you think it can fit in.
The full list of categories and rules is here: http://pottersues.livejournal.com/637226.html -

Too many fandoms and it gets too complicated.
I'm definitely nominating the kittensquick fic for Most OOC, Most Implausible Premise, and WTF. -

Perhaps we should ban the Legendary Badfic from consideration, on the grounds that they would sweep everything and make it boring?

Maybe vote on Legendary and Non-Legendary examples for each one, if that wouldn't get too unwieldy ...

Would it be selections from things that we've killed, then? TOO broad a selection might make it difficult.

Reminds me, I've figured out a workaround for the fic I wanted to spork but didn't fit with my Bad Slashers - L&F can be trying out for a transfer to the Floaters, and they can do it. Simples ^_^ Though now I'm not entirely sure if it counts as sporkable - the characters are comparatively IC, but the dialogue is so appallingly inappropriate I was creasing up with laughter through the whole thing. (This is possible even when the characters are IC. One of them is a ditz who overuses prescription medication and rambles when he talks, so babbling dialogue when he's frightened is perfectly IC. However, the RANDOM OVEREMPHASIS! WITH UNNECCESARY EXCLAMATION POINTS! rendered the whole thing laughable even though it was supposed to be dramatic.)
