Well, I was planning on saving it for myself, but if you really want to see it, here it is.
I did find some Squire's Tales badfic, which was an annoying escapade considering that I had originally thought I was looking for badfic of the story in the Canterbury Tales, but the only badfic I found was abandoned after its first two chapters. Disappointing. I found some mediocre fanfiction that constantly spelled Gawain as "Gwaine", but I don't think it wasn't really up to PPC standard for "kill this now", since it had good SPaG otherwise and had characters recognize its ridiculous premise as ridiculous rather than accepting it at face value.
There are so many badfics that would be fun to spork, but were abandoned a few chapters in. I remember a story I found a few weeks ago that was labeled as a Batman/Mario crossover, had a blatantly obvious Mary Sue, and stopped updating before Mario even got involved at all. Again, disappointing.
As for Good Omens fanfic, most of the badfic I could find was really annoying slash or never got anywhere before being abandoned, and then I got to this. There are no words. I can't even. Too short to spork, but when the entire setting is OOC... just flat what.
Also, one more Good Omens one. It's not the worst of fanfictions, but the prose is impenetrable and it takes place in the Supernatural universe, so I figured you'd want to give it a look. I've never watched Supernatural, so I couldn't tell you how OOC everyone is, but judging by how the story treats Crowley, at least a few of the Supernatural characters are going to be knocked OOC as well. Plus, the scene transition marker is "&!&!&!&!&", so nobody could ever call it "good".
