Subject: You may have a point there. Also, another candidate.

Ok, I'm sorry, I'm listening to that song, and all that's going through my head (besides, 'oh, hey, I didn't realize the show had songs') is, 'how exactly does anyone equate that singing pink pony with Batman??'

(Ok, fine, it was also a very cute song. Thanks for sharing :) )

Now, to the actual topic--I do agree with you that this fic's awful quality (and I barely even read any of it, so...that's how bad it is) does make it a candidate for at least one of those categories. Most likely the Bleepfic one, unless it's better known by the community than I think it is...of course, it may become better heard of once there's a mission for it :)

On a slightly different note, I'd like to submit this fic for Bleepfic status, at the very least. For being a terrible songfic without disclaimers, for consisting of disconnected chapters consisting of song lyrics with run-on sentences before and after the lyrics, for exceedingly random and unexplained crossovers (including TOS, Star Wars, and I don't even want to know what else), for odd instances of 21st century movies, ads, and music appearing in the 23rd century, for mentioning Picard before he's even bloody well born-- *deep breath* For all this and more, and for the complete and utter ruination of Spock's character--to whit, forcing him to act like a whiny, emotional, human teenager instead of a stoic, logical, half-Vulcan thirty-year-old--for badly-written romance, for badly-formatted songs, for revealing no grasp of the ideas and characters in Star Trek, for currently being 61 chapters of bad songfic and intending to reach 100 chapters, this fic is condemned to be PPC'd and its characters exorcized with extreme prejudice. Although the way it's going, Spock'll be a replacement, and can be charged and terminated with extreme prejudice.

Do you see why I don't like this fic? It made me run away screaming and crying for goodfic after stupidly reading thirteen chapters at once. Considering that those chapters included Spock singing the words "listen to your heart", an actual, plausible plot (minus the singing) that was ruined by the text after the song, an unexplained Star Wars crossover, Spock grinned ear to ear, a chapter with a plot that would work perfectly and be almost completely in character--if only the Star Trek characters were Blaine Anderson and the Warblers from Glee, SPOCK yelling 'WOOHOO' (as part of a song), some random person named Borris (not a clue where he came from, and I don't remember him in canon), Picard being mentioned a century before his birth, and, the coup de 'grace', the entire Enterprise crew going to McCoy's "family ranch" on shore leave. All 400 of them. Yeah. That's the bit where I ran away screaming. I mean, it was just too much. Spock had been replaced by a human teenager back in chapter 32, McCoy was living in a dump before he joined Starfleet, Spock had Single Tear Syndrome, and McCoy is seriously in love with old music and movies in this fic. Seriously, he sees an ad for Toy Story 3, has a ridiculously old (by his time, anyway) song as his ringtone (and I'll bet the phone itself looks very 21st century in design), and he's been watching Star Wars recently. I think he may be addicted to a very strange history channel.

Oh, yes, and here's the link: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8860223/1/rare-musical-moments-on-the-USS-Enterprise Read it if you dare. I'm also claiming the bloody thing, although I wouldn't mind a co-writer when the time comes to actually take it on. Oh, and did I mention it spawns mini-tribbles as well? Not too many, but they're there.

Ugh. Off to skim through the new chapters and eat several bars of Bleepolate...
