It's not overly destructive, but it's packed with canonical Elvish goodness. Plus I think it would be funny. {= )

They don't get much Sue-ier than this by

Thanks to a poster over on GAFF, I've found the most blatant Mary Sue I've seen in a long time. There's no subtlety there, no attempt at masking her Suefulness, just pure, plain, unadulterated Sue, with an extra helping of attitude on the side.
I don't know FMA well enough to give this the snarking it deserves. I'm sure there are a couple of Agents somewhere who could clean up this Sueage. Oh, how I want to read that one.

Happy Belated Birthday by

Happy birthday even though it isn't anymore!
A small temporal plot hole opens up in front of you and a gaily wrapped package slightly too large for the hole pops out, rather like a cork from a bottle. A large tag on the package says "Happy Birthday from Katty" with "and Ace!" squeezed in underneath in a different hand. Another tag, this one somewhat more ominous looking, says "Explosives. Protect from heat, impact, electrical shock, and warp zones."
If you unwrap it (carefully) you'll find a case of 12 petards. Have fun hoisting Sues!

So if a Sue can't be hoist with her own petard, at least she can be hoist with yours. Handle with all due precautions for explosive devices.
(or would you need a dratep instead?)

The stuff his army blew up the wall of Helm's Deep with. Then again, ordinary fire works very well.

"Wrong auditorium," she added. "The party's not quite finished yet, we were just clearing up, if you want to come and have a couple of drinks." She led the agent along to the right room, where a few agents and a lot of mini-Balrogs were clearing up the aftermath.

Rocks are canonical almost anywhere.
And as I recall, fire is an effective method as well.

Not the flair of fire and flame, but it causes a lot of destruction. And goes boom.

…that can be fired down onto an uncanonical Elven realm?

A lone agent walked into the echoing auditorium. "Hello? There was a birthday here?" She was a day late. She scrounged in the corners for bits of cake, then set down the bag of holding she was carrying. "I'll just leave this for next year..." She wandered out again.

slash, rape and incest fics are a part of most fandoms. Sometimes they are well written, a lot of the time they aren't.
I write slash, I'm not ashamed to admit that, and I don't see anything wrong with it. As long as the characters are IC, then it isn't a problem. Very few people in life are completely, 100% straight or gay. Experimentation, especially amongst teens, happens. As long as these facts are acknowledged, there is nothing wrong with writing a slash fic.
If you have to break up a canonical pairing, heterosexual or otherwise, for your slash, with little reason other than 'all women are evil/his wife was abusing him/he didn't love her really', then that's not right. There should be a reason for ignoring canon pairings. You can make it a past fic if you have to. Just provide justification for the breaking up of canonical happiness.
If you, as the author, don't want fans to slash two characters then you should strive to put in as little subtext between them as possible. The pairings I write are ones that have canonical subtext in them, and in some cases are actually the most popular pairings in the fandom.
Rape!fic is trickier. It's not something I'd write, mostly because I don't think I could do it justice, but there are some characters in my fandoms that I think would carry out that act. That's not to say that all characters would rape someone, or that all people think that way, but rather that it's my personal interpretation. Unfortunately rape, non-con and dub-con fics are very rarely written well and so are an off-putting factor for many people.
Incest is not something I read or write, except on rare occasions, i.e. the relationship between the characters wasn't revealed until late in the canon and there weren't even hints of it before that. However, some people find incest interesting and some people just like to write about two 'hawt' characters having sex. Those are the people who are unlikely to be stopped by banning fanfiction of a series. Even authorial statements of 'that would never happen' are often ignored by fanfiction writers.
As for stopping kink fics, that's very difficult. You can't state 'I will allow fanfiction but only as long as everyone writes about canon relationships and doesn't deviate from what I have written at all and I don't want people writing anything kinky'. You either allow it, the good and the bad, kink fic and gen fic, or you ban it altogether.
