No, this is art. By the same author.

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9846683/1/Whose-Bad

quote:

Colin looked off the Whose Line stage as Wayne Brady did a doo wop improv song about Andy Dick. As he did so, he realized that someone he admired was in the audience admiring him.

Sitting there in his meth lab getup with his cock out of the zipper, fully erect, was Walter White.

Through the negro spiritual blasting its intense and patented Brady sound throughout the laugh stadium everyone found themselves in, Mochrie was still able to make out a single phrase amongst the stomach tremoring laughter filling up the orifaces of everyone in the studio.

"We have to cook"

quote:

As the cripple fell in slow motion down the stairs, hearing the beautiful sound of Wayne Brady's voice and how it elicited leagues upon leagues of raucous laughter, he became further crippled. The stairs were breaking parts of his body doctors couldn't even identify upon his gimp birth, and in turn, he became a mega cripple.

When his lank, broken body finally reached the bottom where his father and Colin stood, Walt Jr. had already been dead for 5 minutes.

"JESSE NO," Walter yelled, clearly forgetting that he actually had a son.

Colin broke the drama with his kind, beautiful Canadian voice. The first time he had been able to speak 1 word during the show thus far. He said, "Since he fell head first, guess he finally got a leg up on the world."

The crowd roared. There was applause and laughter and projectile defecating and women in labor who weren't even pregnant, obviously miscarrying some sort of egg cluster reject fetus monster that the hilarity of the joke caused to form within their whorish wombs. It had been the best joke ever told on Whose Line Is It Anyways? and all of the studio audience not only knew this instantly, but it would be etched into their brains until the very day they die (from diabetes).

Drew Carey stood up from his desk, pantless, and pointed at Colin. He shouted, "IT'S YOUR LINE. WE FOUND THE ANSWER."

And with that, Colin Mochrie had been proven as the second coming of Christ, effectively showing that all the hard religious work and sexual experimentation of the Whose Line staff had been worthwhile. Walter White was also eventually proven to be the Antichrist, forming what would soon become NBC's best rated sitcom in history.

The End.

He sat behind him like he did everyday. He was wearing his usual leather jacket, pink t-shirt, and blue jeans looking fine and juicy as always. Who is he, you might ask? He is Bulk, aka the most beautiful creature Skull has ever laid eyes on. Even more beautiful than Kimberly.

The teacher was droning on about something Skull didn't care to pay attention to. But how was Skull supposed to pay attention with that beautiful sex god known as Bulk sitting in front of him. Everyday he sat and stared at the back of his friend's head, oggling the greasy hair pulled back in a ponytail that Skull fantasized about roughly pulling as his rotund friend thrust into his scrawny bod.

TvTropes people who slobber all over fanfic seem to not read actual books. The highest compliment I could give any fanfiction, even one I liked, would be that it was well written (in terms of proper grammar and syntax and language use) and wasn't boring. The gulf between actually good printed books and even the best fanfiction is like the laurentian abyss.

The story of a boy, a fox, and a whole lot of ecchi…

Kevin Swift has the worst luck with women. It’s not that he’s unattractive or even unpopular. He just can’t talk to them. He blames it on all those Shōnen love comedies he enjoys watching. Fortunately, or unfortunately―depending on who’s asking―Kevin’s love life is about to start looking up.

After saving a fox’s life Kevin discovers that he actually rescued a Kitsune, a shape-shifter capable of transforming into a beautiful girl who appears to have popped right out of the pages to a Shōnen manga. Her name is Lilian, and she apparently wants to mate with him.

Self-publishing pisses me off more then is reasonable because writing is generally pretty hard, and I would go so far to say that there are some fanfiction authors with serious potential who need to go through the crucible of dozens of rejections and editors picking apart their writing to become actually good writers.

I think it was Stephen King who dismissed fanfiction as ultimately harmful to budding writers because for many of them they develop too many bad habits of working within established franchises and are not able to generate good original fiction.

People realise that My Immortal is intentionally parody of bad Harry Potter fanfiction, right? Like, you'd have to be pretty dense to not realise that a main character named Ebony Darkness Dementia Raven Way isn't a bit of a pisstake. Even hive of bad writing and groupthink SCP Foundation only got as bad as 'Dr Kain Pathos Crow'.

For a truly insidiously bad fanfiction of Harry Potter, you want Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality. It starts out as what could be a competently written what-if story - "What if Petunia, Harry's aunt, married a top scientist instead of Vernon Dursley, and raised Harry appropriately?", and gentle poking at some of the more nonsensical bits of Potter. Instead it turns into smug atheism, violence for no actual reason, and rape threats from 11 year old Draco Malfoy while he's on the train to Hogwarts.

The writer is also head of the 'Machine Intelligence Research Institute' which is about as scientific as a Bible-approved science textbook, including a re-invention of religion and hell based on the idea of a future machine god that would be able to reconstruct you from the mark you left on the world and would torture infinite AI copies of you for not donating to its creation, and so you should donate to MIRI now to stop it doing that because it knows you're helping it.

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2053520/1/Latias-Journey

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/4319623/1/Brave-New-World

Alright, very long story very short, imagine the Pokemon anime took a left turn so hard into Crazy Town that the universe had to be recreated by Poke-God to fix it. Then take those characters, put them into the plot of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, and make them either exceedingly anime or so grimdark the Warhammer 40K would raise an eyebrow at them. It's basically a train wreck in fanfic form. Brave New World occasionally drifts into 'so bad it's good' territory (barely) but Latias' Journey is just all bad all the time.

His descriptive style annoyed the hell out of me even when I was young and stupid enough to enjoy his writing. Is there a particular term for how mediocre writers (and children) tend to go into excruciating detail in enormous chunks rather than allow for some degree of narrative flow? It really feels like he's watching an anime in his head and valiantly trying to put it down on paper.

Imagine that, so as not to leave Japan undefended, the Sailor Scouts draft Daria into their number as the new Sailor Mercury.

Imagine that, at the same time, an insane nationalist faction of the Japanese military steals an experimental war plane and goes on an orgy of violence because reasons.

Imagine that, also at the same time, the plane taking Ami to America is hijacked by Arab terrorists who fly it into the Lawndale homecoming game.

Imagine that, in the wake of the crash, the Lawndale Militia attempts to conquer the town.

Imagine that Beavis and Butthead are at the game for some reason, and take advantage of the chaos to attempt to rape Daria's sister, Quinn.

Imagine that there is a completely superfluous Japanese superhero called the Solar Warrior.

Imagine that this is all taken very seriously by the author.

Imagine that people spend a lot of time introducing one another.

Imagine that the author is a diagnosed Asperger's patient who has never heard the phrase "kill your darlings".

Imagine that one of those darlings is an appendix almost as long as the fanfic itself, which is easily the length of a Tom Clancy novel, for largely the same reasons.
