so, does anyone want to create the ultimate parody badfic?
if so, can you tell me how it will be done.

It's called parody. It's done before, though not in the collaborative form you propose.

Sounds pretty fun. Every time I try to write something bad on purpose, though, I end up forcing it to spork itself.

Example: Martin soon made it to the top of the wall and leaned into the wind as he walked along it for a short ways. Then, a gust of wind caught the rose in his paws and blew it out of his hands and ripped it to shreds all for the sake of useless symbolism. Following the trend of useless symbolism, Martin wondered vaguely for a few seconds whether it was rain or tears running down his face.

Anyway, the point is, I'm not sure I could write something honestly bad without making fun of what I'm doing while I'm actively doing it. Though I could probably provide a few WhatThe moments and other no-brainers.

It's kinda like the difference between going fishing on the high seas and shooting fish in a barrel. Creating ready-to-spork situations kinda feels... artificial, IMHO.


Also, SPaG tip: you need to put spaces after using a comma.

We have an annual event where we write PPC badfic—that is badfic about the PPC—for snorts and chortles. The next one should be coming up in the next couple months, actually. The archives are Fanfic Land (2006-2009) and... okay, apparently Fanfic World is currently frozen. Dangnabbit, Webs... We'll just have to hope hS can convince them to give it back. {= /

But, in the meantime, have fun perusing Fanfic Land.

For one, I sincerely doubt that badfic will ever "die down". There will always be authors out there who write some really not good things; I feel like 99% of good writers were there at some point in their life, whether they would like to admit it or not.

Secondly, in the minute chance that all badfic vanished, as a group I hope we would lay down our arms and retire as agents. There is no sense in proliferating badfic, in my opinion, even in the name of continuing PPC missions.

And if you get bored of writing missions, maybe some original fic, or fanfic of your own? Or even 'shenanigans around HQ' types of things.

As you say, as a group our knowledge of badfic is extensive; let's just use it for good, not for evil! :P

And don't worry about proposing "stupid ideas"! I think it's very similar to something that some PPCers already do, which is sporking old awful fanfic of their own. Ideas are good! Never feel bad about posting ideas.

(This is just an aside, but after commas there is generally a space before the next word begins. Just an FYI!)

I'm game. One of my shticks as a fanfiction writer is to use badfic elements to my advantage.

You can use Lady Gonawe. She has the power to kidnap people from races that will be extinct and make them live together in a peaceful paradise. Nevermind that none of them like each other.
