And I’m also not one for long hair on males. It looks weird, IMO.

Your name is stupid!111 I hate you!

((Stay classy, lol.))

Yeah, long hair would be intimidating. I keep my hair pretty short, with my "official" style being a buzz cut, though I do let it grow out to roughly bowl cut length between cutting it, just to avoid wasting more time on it than necessary. I definitely would not have appreciated suffering that transformation, and would have cut it down immediately. I'm a little surprised Kaguya doesn't seem to consider going back to his original haircut, but I suppose that's easy enough to do later, if he ends up not liking the new style; it would take a lot longer to grow it out again! And at least Momoka is enjoying the view . . .

Not to rain on your parade or anything, but I don't think this needs to happen. Things like Cluny The Scourge and Cupcakes and Celebrian and all the rest (personally I would add Dipper Goes To Taco Bell if it's not there already) are, in my view at least, capital-L Legendary because of the impact they had on their respective fandoms as well as the internet at large. People say "The Internet never forgets" but it sure as dammit has a minuscule attention span, and the criteria used for determining Legendary status in the old thread kinda missed that out in my opinion, especially in the case of fics from older fandoms that have gone a bit more dormant - one example being Redwall. I agree there should be guidelines for what a Legendary is, but they should be flexible, and other older Legendaries that might not meet a calcified stricter definition should be considered "grandfathered in", for want of a better term.

In the end, it doesn't really amount to much whether a piece of fanfiction is a PPC-Certified Legendary Badfic or not. The weird fifteen-year-old troll that wrote My Immortal is not going to give a hoot about whether or not some fandom goobers think it's a mythical example of badness or not. We are not the arbiters of what does and does not matter to a fandom because we are a fandom; a fandom for a fanfic in which we engage with and expand the universe, sure, but we're still just fans of Jay and Acacia's writing. What we do is create a shared universe centred around a horrible workplace environment involving good-faith criticism of badly-written stories. We are not important to those fandoms and frankly nor should we be. It's only for us. It therefore has to be a community issue, because it's only for us. If people thought this was something that needed addressing, they'd have chimed in by now.

And they haven't.

Do with that information what you please.

In which Guya has a bit of hair trouble.

Excellent comedy. Loved the blasé discussion of serious things and the blunt critique of video game illogic. 10/10, would snort into my glass again.

(It was meant as a comedy, right?)

--Lemony

If you want a hilarious yet utterly horrible Legendary badfic, you could try My Immortal.

And I got that Korra fic from this TvTropes page, which may have some more that interest you.

I'd give this one a solid meh it's ok out of ten. It gets some bits right but then there are some other bits that are just kind of dull and hard to read with the spelling.

Thanks Doc, The actual Fogg Journals (Or as it's officially titled The Completely True and Unexaggerated Adventures of Fogg) leans very heavily into the unreliable narrator trope, and yes every time he time travels the date remains the same (minus the year) but the days of the week of course change. Allows for amusing situations like three terrible Monday's in a row. The best description I've been able to come up with so far is "What if Doctor Who was an incompetent alcoholic."

You're right, some of those where errors and a couple were intentionally, but I've made some of the suggested alterations. Thanks.

This is quite an interesting read! We're so used to mission elements, like temporal distortion and lack of description, being talked about in the familiar terms that the PPC uses. But seeing those things get described from the point of view of a character unfamiliar with the tropes and details really sheds a new light on how bizarre missions can get, and how almost cosmic horror-esque some of the word manifestations can be. Fogg is a fun character, a perfect blend of unreliable narrator and narrator who honestly doesn't realize how tacky he is. The recruitment occurred unusually fast, even by the PPC's standards, but I understand such a short story couldn't dwell too long on introductions, plus, it's just a lot funnier this way. I was also amused by the date headings: how the numerical date advances, but the days of the week go wildly off-kilter.

Some maybe errors?
And so it was dear readers, that I find myself upon my birthday setting down to paper the start of a brand new journal.
This sentence contains two tenses!

. . . or when I was worshipped by a god in the Carpathian mountains?
Not sure if this is a mistake or an intentional subversion of the more usual "worshipped as a god." Just wanted to check!

We had been transported into a badfic, a canon world prevented by terrible writing . . .
I don't think that's the word you wanted . . .

That was the point Toni realised that he hadn't been the showers only occupant.
The pronoun gender got swapped, and "shower's" is missing the apostrophe.

As the door closed behind me I did here the woman chastise someone called Wallis for dripping all over the carpet and I wondered if perhaps that was the Ewoks name.
"Ewok's" is missing the apostrophe, and that should be "hear" rather than "here."

Back in June I asked for cameos for an interlude, and it is starting to come together. Or, well, it’s halfway done, but the cameo bit is at least finished. Thus, I would love some feedback on my use of your agents!

Some got more screentime than others. I also didn’t use every single agent that each Boarder signed up, but every Boarder that did sign up is represented, even if it’s just with one line of dialogue.

The following Agents are in use, with their Boarder in parenthesis:
Mina (Linstar)
Diamond and Zara (Scarlett)
Charlie (OrangeFox)
O’Ryan Keyes (Kittyauthor)
Thoth (Thoth)
Vania (doctorlit)
Peregrin (Tomash)
Phil (Philly)
Liu Siyuan (Lily Winterwood)
Gall, Derik and Gadrik (Neshomeh) are also in use, but they are playing a larger part and I am not done with them yet. XD

The GoogleDoc is right here. Feel free to comment to your heart’s content! I am warning you... It got a bit chaotic and stupid. Hopefully in the best possible way. If there's something you don't feel comfortable commenting in public, you can either poke me on Discord (Ekwy#3289) or send me an email (my address is clickable up top).

/Ekwy, who is done dilly-dallying about whether or not to post this tonight, and decided to just take the plunge

PS. The Whitby Horror, the new installment of the Usual Ten, is almost entirely up now! Tomorrow the penultimate chapter is posted, and all of it will be there by the 19th if you want to catch up.

I didn’t unersamd anything but it was sooo great! I loved it!!!!

x-lol

I live! Sorry I'm not absolutely on top of my upload schedule, I had to comb through a lot of great ideas for some new characters and stories! I promise that the wait will be worth it though :))

Here's the first part of a drabble I have going based on Good Mod Addict's Permission request! Fluff first, fun later ;D

Yinz’r stepped from the RC kitchen into the main room, where his partner was sobbing uncontrollably into her gas mask. The Dragonborn’s heart was unable to withstand the piteous cries of one so dear to him (for she had valiantly saved his life on more occasions than he could count), and so his muscles rippled, propelling his scaled form forward with the full intent of saving Beksis from whatever was troubling her.

“What’s wrong?”

“Not much,” the Fallen replied. “I was just sad about the fact that my society collapsed because we kept pissing off the people given superpowers by a magic golf ball”

“What’s a golf ball?” Yinz’r asked. “Can it be used as an implement of destruction?”

Beksis considered the question for a moment. “Yeah but that isn’t the point,” she said.

“Well if we want to talk about angst, I decided to become immortal because I am a power-hungry maniac but I’m a prophesied hero so literally nobody can judge me.” Yinz’r grinned vampirically.

“That is the complete opposite of helpful considering my experience with incredibly powerful beings,” Beksis pointed out. “Could you at least pretend to try to cheer me up instead of making things worse?”

“Maybe” Yinz’r said, reaching out to caress his co-worker’s chitinous face with a tender claw. Beksis looked upl at him, her face flushed from both tears and the unexpected companionship. His eyes glowed not only with the hunger of his ever-present thirst, but with a warmth born of friendship and understanding “Your past is gone. You ran away from it. What matters now is where you are, and what you do now that you’ve escaped. The friends you make, the worlds we save, and the crap pay we get from the Flowers.”

“Oh, Yinz’r,” Beksis breathed, a wisp of Ether crystallizing in the air between them, “You always know just what to say. Thank you for reminding me of my purpose!” Yinz’r smiled again.

“Anytime. After all, we both have forever to live… until Bungie decides to actually define your average lifespan.”

The Gaang teach their Movie!selves how to be more like them.

...this trollfic is just bizarre. The authors get in a fight, the spelling’s awful, and conservatives are evil...for some reason. Despite modern politics not applying at all in this canon.

Honestly? It’s not good, but it’s kinda funny. I might mission it.

As the title says, I'm looking for some quality crackfic. I found this glorious but tragically short hitman/James Bond parody a few days ago. Another of my favourites is this Pokémon fic where the Galar gym leaders set up a discord and shenanigans ensue. So what's some of the most glorious crackfics and trollfics you've come across in the wild?

Search results in the past year: 4, by my count. I believe that is a sufficient amount.

Mission: Removed (the only Legendary for which this is true)

And, of course, it is Bad. And, I believe, the oldest Legendary.

Suggestion: Keep as Legendary. (though adding an MST to the wiki page would be nice)

—Ls

So, as you can probably tell, I’m fascinated by badfic, especially the Legendaries. However, some of them...are simply not Legendary. In this thread, I’ll go over each fic (though of course, I won’t read them all. I’m not that insane!) and evaluate whether it really is Legendary. And then we can discuss stuff. Yay.

—Ls

That’s not a Legendary or Bleepfic. If you think it meets the criteria, you can nominate it, but this is just for Legendaries/Bleepfics. Sorry.

By the way, wasn’t it Claimed by “Pepekyky”, who never did anything else aside from signing the Constitution and making a comment on Greek yogurt?

EDIT: It definitely doesn’t have enough search results to be Legendary. And it’s not five years old.

—Ls

You dont even reed before critisizing. Therefore, you are worse!!11

—lol

Do you think im blind or hav no eyes or smth i c u being salty because my vid is so much better than your fic

If I can, here goes: for MHA ACADEMIA HERO FOR EVER:

(P.S: Pretty sure "MHA ACADEMIA" is a mini, but what should MHA minis be?)

Well basically a gothic gurl falls in love with Draco but then it turns out that he is in love with Harry, and the girl is in love with Harry too. What will happen? Slash. T 4 sex and swearing and suicidal thoughts. NO preps. Plz r&r

---

Basically A. Gothic-Gurl smiled. She was in love with none other than Draco Malfoy! She wondered how she could get him to love her. Lots of flowers, perhaps? The fact that he hated her just because she was one of the few Muggleborns in Slytherin was irrelevant. She’d make him see sense! After all, who wouldn’t love a girl with her flawless pale skin and ebony hair?

As she rounded the corner of the hallway she was in, she ran into the love of her life. It was none other than Draco Malfoy!

“OMG!” Basically squealed. “Draco!”

Draco sighed. “What do you want, Mudblood?”

“I’m in love with you!” Basically exclaimed, leaning closer to him. “I think you should try some leather pants!”

“What—no—look, Mudblood, I don’t know what’s wrong with you, but I need to find Crabbe and Goyle. They both disappeared during—“

He was cut off as Basically put her arms around him. “You’re so hot! So swearing hot!"

“Let me go!” Draco said. Why were there no teachers around? Where were Crabbe and Goyle? If only he could reach his wand, he could get away from her. “Besides, I’m already taken!”

“Oh,” Basically released him. “Is it that Pansy girl? Because I can make sure she never bothers us ever again!”

Draco fumbled through his robes’ pockets. He finally wrapped his fingers around his wand. “No, actually,” he admitted. “I’m kinda into...er...” Who could he direct this monstrosity's ire against? “Potter. Yes. I’m into Harry Potter.” There, now she’d bother Potter instead!

“Well, guess what?” The girl smiled. It looked rather like a shark’s grin. “I’m in love with Harry too!”

Just wonderful.

((Because of course. —Ls))

Is that they can't communicate, but I have no intention of making them a long time pairing (or at the moment of continuing Fogg with the PPC) so it's not an overt concern. Well, unless I suddenly change my mind.

Thanks for picking up the errors, I shall adjust in the morning.
