Hands down, THE NEW GIRL on Voyager (Star Trek: Voyager) Where to begin? The SPaG is hilariously horrible, leading to interesting turns of phrase like "nanaprobes" and "the Bog Queen". The plot is nonsensical, involving a transdimensionally hopping Mary Sue who is caught in a love…something with all the young men on Voyager (including one she de-aged into a teenager). But she's "Christian" and therefore doesn't hang out with boys EVER and can't make a commitment to any of the boys fawning over her! She's so dedicated to her ideals! Also the Borg have taken Captain Janeway, but that's not important. At least, not as important as Harry, Icheb, and a de-aged Chakotay all vying for beautiful, pure Shaundrah's affections! It's so stupid that it actually gets funny after a point.

However, the fic that made me the most mad was Red Dragon (Star Trek: TNG). The Mary Sue is a whiny immature teenager who somehow has the rank of Commander and also is the last of her kind, a race called the Draconians that can shapeshift into dragons. Riker is turned into a rapist, bringing up memories of her last commanding officer who raped her - and of couse she couldn't press charges in a progressive society because then she couldn't angst about it to her boyfriend Data, who, by the way, is suffering strange fits of emotion and hits her during one of them. Then she breaks the laws of physics by transforming into a dragon and using her weight to crush a ship IN SPACE and then being rescued from the explosion by Lore, who makes her a cybernetic hand and half-brain to fix her up. Cyborg shapeshifter-dragon teenager. Yep.

Sorry to rant, but like I said, it made me mad.
