It's M-rated, with a character called Haru having sex with the ocean, a character called Rin trying to kill the ocean, and transformations into Cthulhu. The only mercy seems to be that it's short and the SPaG is okay.

It's Bad Slash starring Cassius and Brutus in a high school AU of melodrama and really awful makeout scenes. It's a bit nsfw, too.
I ship Brutus/Cassius because my school's production of JC made it explicitly canon and stuff but this is just... sad. Now I'm going to need to write my own modern AU to make up for it. -
Wow! Julius Caesar? by

Great find! Can I use it in my own series, Imaginations Collide?

No problem. The biggest problem is deciding when to do this fic, after getting the series started to begin with.

This is a thing I might mission. Eventually. by

It'd be an excuse to do the slashwraith exorcism in Latin and stuff, that'd be cool.

Well, Intel and I are thinking of missioning it by

A 66 chapter long high school AU. Ouch. by

Well, good luck with that and lemme know if you could use any additional backup, heh. I just thought it'd be cool/funny to do a proper (literal in this case!) Roman exorcism in mission at some point.

We're probably going to just get half of it. by

Because at chapter 35, Cassius gets pregnant with either Brutus or Titinius's kid.
Pretty sure that's far away enough from Canon, just sayin'. -
Yeah, nowhere says you have to sit through it all. by

Still, that's 35 chapters to tackle, hope you've a lot of material planned.

I dunno, that sounds like Free! to me. by

Reply
I'm kidding. But Free! is pretty ridiculous. I saw more or less the last half of the show at a con, because I had nothing better to do at the time. It doesn't have subtext so much as bright neon lights flashing THIS IS A METAPHOR! THIS IS A METAPHOR!
Personally, I think this fic is on-target and pretty funny. {X D

It means that, in the fandoms/genres/whatever you're looking at, there aren't any/many 'badfics' worthy of the name. It indicates that the quality of fanfiction in the area is higher than you'd believed. In other words (and in-universe), it means we're winning!
No?

does that mean it can't be killed? by

I mean, it'd be handled by the, what's it called, Department of Trollfic? But I don't think there's any reason why it shouldn't be killed...

C*l*br**n was a trollfic, and it got killed.

'legolas by laura' almost certainly was (though it's never been proven), but Clbrn is simply too long and detailed - and 'well written' - for me to believe it's a troll. Trolls simply don't put that much effort into a story - because why would they? Heck, Clbrn probably took longer to write than it had people leaving reviews for afterwards!

It's certainly still missionable! by

Typically, trollfics go to the Troll Division of the Department of Bad Parody. Or someone in the All-Purpose Department, Free! Division. Or anyone in the Department of Floaters. Or any agents getting an off-theme troll mission as punishment for something. Etc, etc.

Clearly, it's time for me to review PPC canon. I actually forgot about the Floaters.
