Sturgeon's law posted:

Using the same standards that categorize 90% of science fiction as trash, crud, or crap, it can be argued that 90% of film, literature, consumer goods, etc. is crap. In other words, the claim (or fact) that 90% of science fiction is crap is ultimately uninformative, because science fiction conforms to the same trends of quality as all other artforms.

Since 90% of fanfiction is total and utter crap, I'll start.

I'm going to count alt-history timelines as fanfic here.


http://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=128601

quote:

this timeline i'll answer what would have happend if Turkish scientist had made an atom bomb in 1930. If anyone could have made it this early, it would have been the Turks.

1932: The Turks send a secret agent to steal Einstein. They find out that he's really a Turk and a muslim.

1933: Turkish scientists finish developing an atom bomb. They try it out on Athens. The city gets destroyed and Greece is incorporated into Turkey once again as the terrified population of Greece surrenders.

1934: most of the Balkans south of the Danube is forced to join the growing empire of the Turks. The western powers have to surrender the arab world to the turks. Everyone who lives in areas conquered by Turkish forces is forced to convert to Islam. The punishment for refusing is death.
Over 1000 A-bombs are made. As the muslim world, from Marocco to Indus, is united under Turkey the world trembles in fear.

1935: Turkey starts threatening western Europe, and conquers Georgia, Rumenia and most of Hungary.

1936: Nazi Germany, Italy,France, Spain, Britain, Poland, The Soviet Union, Japan and the USA form an alliance against Turkey.
The Turks answer by destorying Paris, Berlin, London, Moscow, Rome, Tokyo and Washington with nuclear weapons.
Everyone in the western world starts hating and fearing the awesome might of Turkey. A large Turkish army conquers Italy, while Milan, Florence, Naples and Venice are destroyed with nuclear weapons.

1937: As 30 more cities around the world get destroyed in the nuclear onslaught, the states of the world start ignoring Turkey's nuclear threats, and start sending countless soldiers to the frontlines. As the turkish army is quickly pushed back on the frontlines, the Turkish officials become frantic and start using nuclear weapons at the frontlines.

1938: USA, Britain and nazi Germany all acquire nuclear weapons. The nuclear war enters it's final stage, as A-bombs are dropped on Constantinople, Ankara, Damascus, Cairo, Jerusalem, Alexandria, Tunis, Sofia, Smyrna, Baghdad, Teheran, Medina, Mecca, Kabul and Islamabad. Enemy soldiers swarm over muslims lands, soiling it in the process.

1939: Muhammad (peace be upon him), the beloved prophet, returns from heaven, and takes command of the remnants of the Turkish-muslim empire. He summons more A-bombs, and under his command the Turks mangage to exterminate every non muslim man on Earth. Women and children are not held responsible, however, and Jesus convinces them that he is NOT the son of god, and that Muhammad the wise is really the greatest prophet. Then Muhammad the great rebuilds Mecca in 6 days, with his friend Jesus.

Muhammad is wise, Muhammed is merciful. Muhammad convinces God to shorten the sentence of the unbelievers in hell, from eternity to a mere hundred million years, and thus this alternate timeline comes to an end.

I could spend years analyzing My Immortal. It is a masterpiece of bad writing.

quote:

Then all of a suddenly, an horrible man with red eyes and no nose and everything started flying towards me on a broomstick! He didn't have a nose (basically like Voldemort in the movie) and he was wearing all black but it was obvious he wasn't gothic. It was… Voldemort!

"No!" I shouted in a scared voice but then Voldemort shouted "Imperius!" and I couldn't run away.

"Crookshanks!" I shouted at him. Voldemort fell of his broom and started to scream. I felt bad for him even though I'm a sadist so I stopped.

"Ebony." he yelled. "Thou must kill Vampire Potter!"

I thought about Vampire and his sexah eyes and his gothic black hair and how his face looks just like Joel Madden. I remembered that Draco had said I didn't understand, so I thought, what if Draco went out with Vampire before I went out with him and they broke up?

"No, Voldemort!" I shouted back.

Voldemort gave me a gun. "No! Please!" I begged.

"Thou must!" he yelled. "If thou does not, then I shall kill thy beloved Draco!"

"How did you know?" I asked in a surprised way.

Voldemort got a dude-ur-so-retarded look on his face. "I hath telekinesis." he answered cruelly. "And if you doth not kill Vampire, then thou know what will happen to Draco!" he shouted. Then he flew away angrily on his broomstick.

I just stumbled across this and was hoping for a place to share. It's basically a word-for-word retelling of Raiders of the Lost Ark, but narrated by Indy's twin sister Eileen (presumably the author's self insert).

I'd have to watch the Harry Potter movies and listen to an alarming amount of terrible music to have adequate framing, first. And I found out Willow also has her own stories that sort of mirror Tara's, in that they're weird and bad gothic Harry Potter stories. That's a lot of work for a fanfic that's been dissected already.

I'll take the easy road and just post the best line.

The Marrissa Amber Flores Picard Saga, by Stephen Ratliff.

In one episode of Star Trek, the ship gets hosed up by something, and a bunch of crew members are stuck in various parts of the ship with no way to communicate. Troi has to run the bridge, Wolf has to deliver Keiko's baby, and Picard is trapped in a turbolift with 3 kids. Basically it's an uncomfortable Picard learning how to deal with kids he never wanted on board to begin with. They sing songs together, he gives them rank pips with rank ranks to keep their morale up, blah blah, heartwarming story. Here's a shot of the kids in the episode so you know how young they are.



Stephen Ratliff I guess decided that this character, who had about 20 minutes of screentime in one episode, was the best character in the world, and made this preteen girl the Mary Sue to end all Mary Sues.

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/FanFic/MarissaPicard
http://trekiverse.us/stephen/works/

Backstory is that these kids, along with some other minor kid characters from the show, are the smartest loving kids that have ever been in the entire galaxy. They play at being officers in the Holodeck so much that Picard comes up with an idea for a "Kid's Crew," and puts these kids in charge of the Enterprise.

Marrissa gets adopted by Picard, runs the Enterprise at age 10, is found to be a long lost Princess and Heir to the planet Essex, sets up Jean-Luc and Beverly, gets the fastest Kobayashi Maru time ever, wins the Triple Crown while on a vacation to Earth, becomes High Admiral of Starfleet, annexes the Romulan Star Empire, gets married and starts popping out babies, and basically wins at everything before the age of 20.

Also there's time travel involved and Wesley Crusher ends up marrying Chelsea Clinton at one point.

There are a lot of stories, and they are infamous for how bad they are. I'm pretty sure at one point the author mentions offhandedly working on one of the stories while in his 5th year at university.

Edit - oh you want excerpts do you?

quote:

"Lets just say that I've had a hard time preserving my virginity
the last couple nights," Marrissa replied.
"That rowdy, Marrissa," Jean-Luc Picard responded. "If your not
careful Marrissa, you'll end up presenting me with my first grandchild
with in a year.""It's already on my list of goals," Marrissa replied.
"Marrissa, you are really spreading yourself thin," her father
replied. "Captain, Princess, soon-to-be a Wife and you want to add
Mother to that ASAP. If you are not careful you will be forced to
retire from Starfleet due to other commitments."


quote:

The daughter of President Clinton and wife of Wesley Crusher
appeared on screen. She was holding her month-old daughter, Kasey in
her arms, bottle feeding her. "Captain Chelsea Crusher, starship
Clinton, how may I help you, Captain Picard?"
"Just calling to see how you and my older brother are doing,"
Marrissa replied.
"Fine, except for the fact that little Kasey is keeping us up
nights," Chelsea replied. "I think Wes is beginning to regret his plan
to keep me out of away teams."


quote:

"You couldn't have been in command," Isabelle said. "You're
only twelve."
"That can be an advantage sometimes," Marrissa replied
forgetting her momentary sadness as she talked. "For instance there was
this Cardassian Gul who decided that the Enterprise saucer section under
my command was an easy target. He failed to consider the tactical
officer who gets caught for playing video games in class." Marrissa
smiled.
"What did you do to him?" Isabelle asked.
"I disabled his ship and had an inscription carved on his hull."
"What?"
"'I was beaten by a bunch of kids.'" Marrissa concluded.


quote:

"I have a problem with Risa," Captain Picard said, dryly.
"Da-ad," Marrissa persuaded, "I'll be good, and its not like I'm
looking for guys. In fact I imagine that that would be hard for me do
on any planet. Plus, this is supposed to be a vacation away from the
media. Tell me would you look for a 13 year old daughter of a starship
Captain on Risa?"

Alright, I'm stepping in with my favorite fanfic of all time, which is one that no one has really heard of. That fanfic is Yoahimune.

Yoahimune (the story) is written by a guy named Yoahimune (so...a self-titled fic?) and is an amazing combination of horrible grammar, awful plot, a ridiculously cool self-insert, and a complete disregard for the source material. In the story, the bad guys do almost nothing while the good guys commit war crimes. I'm not even kidding. Also, it's a multimedia experience, as the author has character bios, profiles, and other random poo poo in the gallery I linked that is related to the story. But seriously, Yoahimune constantly gets crazier and crazier until, eventually, it only levels out because it runs out of story to get crazier with. Below are a few excerpts from the early parts of the story:

Prologue posted:

When the JS Incident, Phantom unit has another mission to stop dark organization who carry a dangerous device. But with Kai Wrath and Sloth, he kill everything and doesn't care about it. Later a mysterious person appear and ram Kai with a high speed like a lightning. JV and Bret can't chase that speed, but Kai is Missing In Action (M.I.A)when they got there. Bret found some Kai blood DNA and his little organ from his body, every place full with sand and strong dark power from Kai who almost vanish. When JS incident is finish, Phantom unit is no longer needed any more. Bret has a job to protect Earth from a monster who sometimes like killing people and JV now work at Saint Church as his dream a long time when he is here.

Chapter 1 posted:

What I saw is like a situation in war, full with fire, many destroyed buildings, and some dead people. Also I saw my hand on blood lying on the ground, and I saw someone with device's like pile bunker and grind with evil smile, then when he stab on my face suddenly the flash back is gone.

As you can tell, I'm really invested in this, but this is seriously, like, my personal favorite fanfic. So much so that some friends and I are doing a very, very humorous reading of it at our youtube channel. We are up to chapter 10 at the time of posting this. There are 21 chapters. Here is the link to the Prologue/Chapter 0 video, in case you want to listen along as well:

Prologue/Chapter 0

We do a bunch of other random bad stories that usually just last one video, and update often. Yoahimune is the big long-runner, though.

...

"Have you tried disassembling the fuel feeder and torch assembly? Holy Oil can prevent the feeder tubes from blocking, and it also helps combine with the promethium to provide a stronger burst of fire."

...

"Alright, I'll try that... It still doesn't work. What am I doing wrong?"

...

"(Sigh), have you flipped the safety off?"

"Just one moment... Oh, no I hadn't! It's working now, thank you for your help!"
