As a hopeless dingbat of an INFP, I don't compute well with organization. Or "statistics and hard logic." But who needs logic anyway? Point being, it's not my place to decide that sort of thing, but it sounds awfully formal, a little bit contradictory to the general hectic siliness of the PPC that makes it so endearing. Since it's hardly plausible that we'll be able to spork every badfic in the world- even every badfic in a popular fandom would be a feat of unfathomably epic proportions- couldn't everyone just patrol the fandoms they're interested when they feel like writing a mission? Report the rarer abominations that are so horribly eye-bleeding that they cannot go unchallenged? Wouldn't that just be simpler?
Maybe I'm just not processing the more advanced thinking behind this, but that's my thoughts. Meh, it's an old thread anyway.

Ahoy!

In case you've been wondering, the vast majority of people on the IRC are in continental north america - which means that a reasonable hour for you ends up being something like six in the morning our time. Thus why nobody seems to be paying attention. It's nothing personal, we promise.

Just took a glance at the story (actually, at the chapter titles). Is this writer for real, because there is no way that any halfway-educated person can write that badly unless it's on purpose. Trollfic, maybe?

Honestly, at this point, it's just funny. It's not even bothering me anymore, it's too entertaining to watch it spiral deeper and deeper into insanity. I'm actually curious to see who she finally ends up with. Are they going to find Janeway? Will Chakotay become an adult again? Are the Borg involved anymore? I really want to know!

Maybe I'm going insane.

The first one... Well, in the summary we are cheerily informed that "Sophie" was kind of short and teased because she had brown hair and an Irish accent.
Here's an excerpt: ""Hey, are you okay? And what is a human doing so near to the Shire?" Weird memories of a world beyond the Grey Havens, and its destruction, came to her and made her feel momentarily offended. She brushed her dark brown hair out of her deep green eyes and her Irish accent became very noticeable.
"I'm not a human, my race has no name, and as I said before, I am lost." She told them. They nodded,

"Well," Kili spoke up, "You can travel with us. We are heading for Hobbiton where we might be able to get you directions home."Sophie sighed.

"My home shattered and burned. The Spire of Glass was collapsed, and the wooden homes burned to the ground." This information was provided by her Middle Earth memories, her Earth memories telling her that this was all fake, but she played along."


The second one is a good argument against slash, featuring a particularly mind-bending love triangle between Elrond, Bilbo, and Thorin. The writing is so machine gun paced that it makes my head spin. And the whole thing is one paragraph.
And another excerpt: "Radagast and Gandalf start talking and then Radagast takes off on his rabbits. "We need to go now!" Gandalf says. "We can't! We have no ponies, they bolted!" Ori yells and we all freak out. "We need to hurry. This way now!" Gandalf says and starts running. We take off running and trying to stay out of the Warg's sight. We end up being surrounded and Gandalf pops up behind some boulders. "This way, you fools!" he shouts, and we all slide down the rocks"

was going to put this on the Unclaimed Badfic list and then realized I had no idea how to. It may be something obvious and I'm just being a ditz (actually it's highly likely this is the case) but I just can't see where I edit the page.

I mean, the summary alone...

*goes off to melt brain read the badfic*

BWAHAHAHA...*ahem*. I apologize for that deeply regrettable outburst. What I really meant to say was, this story is quite...interesting..in a very...trainwrecky...way...
