Guys I wrote a beautiful story you should totally check it out RIGHT HERE.
This story was not intended to insult or degrade anyone in anyway.
But all kidding aside, I'm sure all of you have come across at least some form of bad writing, or even more notorious, bad fanfiction. For those of you who don't know, fanfiction is fiction written about, and containing the characters/canon of, someone else's story, TV show, book, or whatever. Websites containing fanfiction include the most popular one, Fanfiction.net, as well as various other fansites and etc.
The main problem with most fanfiction on the internet, though, is that most of it's bad.
Like, really, really, really bad.
As TvTropes page on Sturgeon's Law says, "90% of everything is crud."
That's how bad it is.
Well, maybe I'm exaggerating. A little. Not too much. But fanfiction is notorious for containing all manner of abominations, such as Mary Sues, horrendous grammar, and lots and lots of yaoi. (If you don't know what that word means, don't look it up. Please.)
But, sometimes, a fanfiction ends up being so bad it becomes hilarious. Take, for example, the fanfiction "Pokemon attack of mewtwo" Granted, it was a troll fic, but it's worth reading in your spare time simply for a laugh, as the sheer amount of spelling mistakes and cliches make it kind of amazing.
...But then there's fanfiction so bad it loops around to good and then all the way back down to bad. Such as "My Immortal", possibly the worst Harry Potter fanfiction on the entire interwebs. Your Mileage May Vary on how amusing it is. (Note: The version linked here is a repost on Fanfiction.net by a different person. The original was actually kicked off the site due to how bad it was.)
Read at your own risk.
But hey, now I'd like to hear your opinions! What do you think of all this bad fanfiction? Should it be beaten back into the dark hole it came from? Or should we tolerate its existence for the sake of some lulz? Comment below!
