Subject: Badfic: a new genre?

I know NCIS is a small fandom overall, but it has had an invasion of a particularly obnoxious type of badfic. I looked on the wiki to see if this has an entry, and it doesn't. I'm not sure which department this would appeal to, as most of the stories of this type are stated as being non-sexual, and most do not involve original characters. Just the canon characters twisted nearly beyond recognition. This has absolutely no basis, not even a thin, tenuous shred of basis, in canon.

Basically, they all revolve around very thin or non-existent plots that are there only to serve the purpose of having one of the characters, usually Gibbs, spank one of the other characters, usually either Tony or Abby. I didn't realize that this seems to be a problem fairly specific to NCIS until I did a word search and "spanking" comes up 212 times for NCIS, out of 499 hits with the remaining hits spread over 70 other categories.

So is anyone interested in taking down a Suethor who focuses on non-sexual spanking of adults? The main author of these has written 77 stories, and even started 2 series of stories just to continue inflicting this junk on the fandom. There are two other main authors with 45 and 35 stories apiece, although some of their stories have been inflicted on other fandoms.

I'm afraid that with these Suethors branching out into other fandoms that this could become as popular as mpreg. It already has mpreg (21 hits) beat by a long shot at NCIS.

Here's an example by the most prolific of these authors.

I really did try to closely read the whole thing, but the urge to spork out my eyes if I kept it up was too strong, and the self preservation instinct kicked in causing me to skim the last half. Anybody got extra bleeprin?
