I heard it was a rite of passage among PPCers to read the Legendary badfic "C*l*br**n". So I'm gonna give it a shot.
Wish me luck! -
So how bad are we talking? by

I've read my fair share of nasty fic (including My Immortal, which actually reads more like a bad science experiment gone wrong than an actual piece of fiction)but from the way you guys are talking, it sounds traumatic.
...I know I shouldn't but now I'm kinda curious. -

For a long time, Clbr__n was known as 'THE badfic' (actually, I think the phrase 'teh bad fic' was in use). Part of the problem is just that it's very, very long - and never strays within spitting distance of canon, or even biological plausibility. The other part is that it's just very bad smut.
It killed my main agent when I took it on, and nearly killed me when I tried to MST it (I never finished). Just... don't bother reading it. Seriously.

He did come right back, though. :P by

Yeah though, the thing about most Legendaries is once you get past the horrific things they do to canon, they're usually bogged down with myriad other problems that make reading them just not worth the effort.
(One day I will mount one's head above my fireplace, but that doesn't weaken my point. :P) -

You poor, poor thing. You don't have to do that. You could easily haze yourself by reading The Eye of Argon or My Immortal or any other legendary but moderately safe for brain badfic...
http://ppc.wikia.com/wiki/Legendary_Badfic
From the wiki:
"Newbies be warned: Reading any Legendary Badfic that was linked to you by another Boarder in your introduction post, especially "Celebrian," is Bad. Do not do it, because they should not have provided it to you in the first place. This is possibly your only warning. Also, reading the plot summary on its wiki page likely counts. Don't do it."

The only thing that might be considered a rite of passage around here would be reading the Original Series.

I somewhat mistyped there. I meant to say that I had read it was something of a rite of passage.
I read that from the Wiki. -

A few chapters in now. Honestly, for a legendary badfic, the main difficulty I'm having with it is a rather acute sense of boredom. It's terrible, but I've read worse.
Nevermind. This fic was sporked, right? Because it needs one. -

That monster is finished. I think I need a few bottles of Bleepto-Dismal. I already went through my supply.

It was dealt with by Agents Dafydd and Constance, if that's what you mean.

Do not read it. Really. Just don't. It's a legendary badfic for a reason.
If you're really intent on it, pack some bleeprin if you can get your hands on it. Lots of it. If you can't, brain bleach and Aspirin will help.
And good luck if you really are reading it. You'll need it.
