Fanfiction Horrors

[Monolith]

Thanks; the name sounded like a cringe furry OC. I mean, even furries would find it cringe.

Ignoring the context where two other characters are named "Nathan Explosion" and "William Murderface," I might be able to see it.

If you haven't had enough of pooner Krauser, here is an author whose entire roster is filled with trans Chris and Krauser. Also friends with Francis Xie, the 'gay trans male' who draws Krauser as fat. AO3 account. Link to fic. Archive.

Some highlights include manly things like:
- Leon having mental breakdowns
- Krauser wanting to be bred like a horse
- Leon having a big dick and fucking Krauser's wet pussy

The rest is self explanatory.

It starts off sweet, with Leon wanting to take manly man Krauser to the beach.

Spoiler

It then devolves into Leon having a panic attack - which was brief as could be, yet a trigger warning was still put there - before he goes back to normal. And it isn't PTSD, either.

Spoiler: bathroom blowjob

Later Krauser tosses aside all that masculinity and tells Leon he wants to get pregnant, because that's what real men do.

Spoiler: I want your seed

This was a little tongue in cheek, so I also kept it.

Going back to the Assassin's Creed fandom, Shay Cormac, a tall Irishman who becomes one of the most feared Assassin hunters, is made into a pooner. Since this takes place in 1758 there is no testosterones so Shay is really just a woman pretending to be a man. Clitoris is referred to as 'cock' despite there being no T-growth. Author. Link / Archive

Spoiler: historically accurate use of dildos

They want to be historically accurate on dildos and yet don't realize a clitoris isn't a penis. The author would like you to know she's asexual, btw.

So manly, using your vagina to get pregnant.

Here's another diaper fic with a funny (?) pun as a title, but the content is surely not: (Archived)

God what a nostalgia trip for me. Used to be HEAVILY into sporking/msting (ie snarking badfic line-by-line. You could get away with it on tumblr, livejournal, and various forums back then, nobody gave a shit about "shaming" authors). I miss FFF and Snakes On A Sora and das_sporking so bad man you have no idea. I still remember fucking ComicsNix too, the Pokemon story, "the other story", that Kingdom Hearts Nazi high school AU, and the top 10 infamous Harry Potter fics. (I once met a guy in real life who admitted that his "favorite book" was actually fanfiction and the fic in question was fucing Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality and I had to tell him I'd actually read it and it was dogshit!)

My favorite badfic is an obscure fimfiction piece called "A haze in Equestria 2: the Twi-als of love!!!!!!!!" It (and its prequel) is about a turbo mary sue (male) pony called Silver Haze who fucks Twilight Sparkle and steals plot spotlights. Gammar and shit were bad too, you don't see that a lot nowadays. The first fic was short but HIEQ2 as I came to call it was long enough that you could actually see the author improving as time went on - towards the end of the fic she started focuing more on the canonical characters and shoving her shitty gary stu to the side, and there ended up being some genuinely emotional moments. I loved seeing the improvement. I actually sporked the whole thing once and the author got in touch with me about it! (She enjoyed my commentary and was very proud that by the end of the fic I was genuinely rooting for her)
There was also a really batshit Ace Attorney fic I read once that I barely remember now but at the time I had so much fun with it that I actually referenced it multiple times in my own fanfiction. It was called "Law Plus Chaos".

The good badfic is almost all older shit, though. Not sure why exactly this changed but somehow the overall technical quality of fanfiction has vastly improved in the last 10 years. The days when you could go in any tag and click a random fic and have it be filled with typos and run on setnences and poor grammar/punctuation is long gone. So are the most obvious mary sues and the most egregious bad plots. Most badfic now is just fetish shit. Granted I do love my weird ass fetish shit but whatever happened to the likes of Ariana Black or Rose Potter? Hell, whatever happened to insane fetish fics pretending to be serious and totally nonsexual, the way Hogwarts Exposed did? Fucking sex positivity man, it ruined my badfic.

I miss this shit. I miss the old internet.

There is a non-zero possibility that some things that I've wrote over the years has ended up in this thread at some point. I'm skimming

 

[Petrusha the White]

Sorry for double posting but I can't edit my last post.
Sadly I did not find any of my own fics. (I didn't see a lot of fics from the fandoms that I frequent, though) However, somebody that I actually know was posted multiple times! The one who wrote the Metal Gear Solid fart/scat fics. No I haven't read the fics myself but she (yes, she) is actually really chill and thinks it's funny when people are freaked out by her fetishes. Actually I wouldn't be surprised if she already knew she was posted here.
The thing about people who write fuckshit "dead dove" fanfic is that, generally don't care if people hate what they wrote and/or take active glee in people getting grossed out or disturbed. And hey, most of us tag it clearly, so if you knew a fic was going to have e.g. fucking a decapitated head in it and you clicked on it and read it anyway, the author is allowed to laugh at you.

To actually contribute to this thread I submit a Star Trek fic that I know is a meme in at least two discord servers

The tags are "Body Modification,Breast Milking,Humiliation,Rough Oral Sex,Mindbreak,Fisting" and it's about this guy:

 

[umami's milk]

The one who wrote the Metal Gear Solid fart/scat fics.

Knowing this person doesn't get anal (lol) about the reception of their fanfics actually makes me want to go back and read that story where Ocelot violently shits himself.

 

[Aunt Carol]

The one who wrote the Metal Gear Solid fart/scat fics. No I haven't read the fics myself but she (yes, she)

I'm not surprised at all that a woman wrote fanfic.

I'm surprised that a woman writing M/M scat/guro in a poonerbait fandom full of baras is still a woman in Current Year. Good job having an independent sense of self, AO3 scat author corpsefluid.

 

[Weirder Feet]

Speaking of fetishy stuff...



As you can see from the screenshot, I've combed through the "Hornicron" (portmanteau of "horny" and "Unicron") series. Now I mix a shot of bleach in with my morning coffee and cry myself to sleep at night.

Don't mind me, just posting some flashlight kino

The funniest part of this has got to be that it's tagged with "slice of life."

 

[Petrusha the White]

The "body transformation" tag makes me think that that "uses Garble as a flashlight" might not be a typo.

 

[Gorillion others]

So, funny story about this fanfic. A Ben 10/Fairy Tail crossover. It started out great and wouldn't have qualified for it to be posted here in the first place. I mean, it was good enough, but in just three years after it switched ownership, a lot of the story and chapters fell in quality, but not at first. The author likely lost their beta, and the original author must have suffered some kind of breakdown or burnout, but the overall tone of the story just became a jumbled mess. Like, they made Wendy into something of an OC (donut steel). I kid you not.

Here it is.

 

[AFAB]

No fetish shit here (AFAIK) but if you're into word-salad and genderspecial nonsense here's 100k+ words of it in this Transformers fic.

Here's some choice passages from the fic itself (Before you ask - yes the writer is a troon. A troon with a self proclaimed DID system who also refers to itself in the plural as well):

My back rested seat in the old warehouse being comfortable was about the only good thing about the situation that I could immediately feel. The absurdity of the cuffs on my ankles and wrists as I waited to be thrust into unwelcome hierarchic violence that at the very least would be structural, emotional, a violation of agency, and involve the physical threat of death ate at my patience among the cargo crates and Shatter’s crew. Her, and ten bots with rifles and blades, herself with miniature rotary blaster scrapmakers hanging from her folded wings, and my swords and pistols on her thighs.

She opened the book and then read while still looking at the crowd when she could: “Even now, with my bouts of doubt and chronic trauma, I see the strength of love and transformation in all of you, trans or no! Whether strength brought out in solidarity or waiting to blossom, it is part of sapient life! When I was young, the world was full of common knowledge of thousands of names for genders and aesthetics, whether of spectrums masculine, femme, agender, alt-modus, iteration, experiential, fluid, trans, launch, ascribed, pronoun, polygender, orientation, expression, xeno and more. All were embraced on equal terms in systems varying from linkage to relation, esoterism, spirituality, martial and civilian orders, our way of life! Even when other things were wrong, even when the knowledge wasn’t implemented in ways that would have helped someone like me with a male-ascribed forging, it was and still is a story that we are joined with! Whether a deeply held value of the departed Knights of Cybertron or a font of imagination for a new society today, we all try to make stories with ourselves! To have variety, regardless of language structure context, is the way of the universe and sapient life! To be simply lived, considered in passing, studied with care, celebrated, pondered, embraced with layers of irony, to realize and transform us, is what putting words and actions to ourselves does!”

[TheAmbiguousLurker]

I guess I shouldn't be surprised by how infested with this shit Transformers is considering the name....

 

[Petrusha the White]

Didn't Transformers itself recently have one of the robots explainin they/them pronouns in a kids show, too?

AO3 is filled with shit like that (some fandoms worse than others, though). I really don't think it's a fault of the site itself, though; yes, it's the fanfic site of choice for tumbler users (or rather the demographic that had once been tumblr users before porn got banned and everyone moved to twitter) but that's really just because it's the single best fanfic site out there. It allows pretty much everything, unlike ff.net, and it isn't super segregated into different communities, unlike lj. So fanfic writers of all stripes flock to it. Unfortunately that includes people who write shit like "When I was young, the world was full of common knowledge of thousands of names for genders and aesthetics, whether of spectrums masculine, femme, agender, alt-modus, iteration, experiential, fluid, trans, launch, ascribed, pronoun, polygender, orientation, expression, xeno and more. "

So are the most obvious mary sues and the most egregious bad plots. Most badfic now is just fetish shit.

Mary Sues are pretty much extinct, but you'll still find a few here or there. I'd say the biggest problem has to be plot lines/similar plotlines/cliches/not wanting to do research, which really bogs down a fic. Most authors have beta readers to clean up their writing (or are very keen on doing it themselves) and as such the quality is better than anything on FFnet.

Badfic is normally overrun with pooners now, who seen content on infecting even the most stalwart gay relationships with their 'manly' vaginas. If not that, the politics of said authors tend to be so uniform you can predict exactly what they're going to say on what issue.

Sadly I did not find any of my own fics. (I didn't see a lot of fics from the fandoms that I frequent, though) However, somebody that I actually know was posted multiple times!

Ah, corpsefluid. Is she still selling sex toys or has to moved on to better endeavours?

And hey, most of us tag it clearly, so if you knew a fic was going to have e.g. fucking a decapitated head in it and you clicked on it and read it anyway, the author is allowed to laugh at you.

It depends on what the 'dead dove' content is. Most of us here aren't really phased by gross shit, it's generally how it's written. Many years ago I and several other commenters noted how, in a Star Wars fic where Hux was getting gang raped and was told 'how great he'd look pregnant' was off-putting. The author didn't find it funny and this was before comment blocking/freezing/blocking users was a thing. You can have the most fucked up fics imaginable that can be guilty pleasures, provided the author knows what they are and doesn't pretend to moral code over them. The dead dove fics that usually raise eyebrows are the ones where the author tries to preen their morally righteous feathers, while forgetting they wrote a corpse-fucking fic or something. There was one Elden Ring author here who wrote weird shit and used her TBI as an excuse to avoid criticism. Lady, you're writing a gay gangbang. Just admit that you do and move on with your day. The worst part, I'd have to say, is when they come out with the begging bowl or wail about how their disabilities prevent them from living, while being 300 lb hambeasts.

This is...very pertinent in today's times.



Now I cannot unsee Ghost talking like Ben Shapiro.

Mary Sues aren’t extinct, they’re just “reader-inserts” now. Rather than creating a character you just have (Y/N, L/N) whenever a name is used and (your pronouns) inserted in. Still just as perfect and important as any Mary Sue ever was.

How anybody can read that and not feel like they’re physically tripping over something at every “Hey! (Y/N)! Follow me! We must get to the macguffin this way!” I do not understand.

I will be biased and say I do like Reader stories. However, you are correct the Y/N part is absolutely aggravating; I vastly prefer a single pronoun or even the "you" pronoun. It works so much better and you can actually get into the story.

The top Apex Legends fic is a Reader insert but it's actually so well written it's fun and spicy to read.

 

[Petrusha the White]

@Chandelier Can't quote your post for some reason, but yeah, there's a reason why I said "generally" dead dove authors don't care. There are absolutely exceptions - usually people who think that fiction IS reality (when it comes to content involving incest or underage shit) but it's conveniently just makebelieve and/or ~a coping mechanism~ when it's whatever weird shit they're into. Same type of people who get mad as fuck when a character gets raped/threatened with rape in a video game (even when its very clearly presented as a bad, not-sexy thing that only evil people do) but have absolutely no comment on the hero mowing down hoardes of goons in the goriest ways possible.
See also people who absolutely flip their lids over the really gross shit that corpsefluid writes while being totally fine with a fic where a character eats his boyfriend's guts. Like man, I don't like scat/piss/farting either, but I just don't read those fics, so it literally doesn't effect me that they exist. AO3 isn't gonna run out of server space anytime soon.
(Also I don't know if corpsefluid is still selling dildoes. She never mentioned closing her business [that I'm aware of] but she also hasn't posted about it since like... before covid lockdowns happened.)

I absolutely refuse to read any fic with an opening author's note that says like "Don't read this if you don't support xyz". I don't give a shit if it's something I actually do support, and I don't give a shit if it's the best written fic in the world that's perfectly suited to my tastes. I'm hitting the back button.

I know of a fic (a collab, actually) that recently got a comment where a reader asked the authors to not kill off (it was part of an AU series) a character who died in canon (because the actor left the show)... they said it could be the author's pro-SAG statement. (Since the actor allegedly left the show because the director was a dick.) Who the fuck expects fanfic authors to make pro-SAG statements? Nevermind the fact that it genuinely didn't seem to occur to the commenter that maybe the authors don't even support SAG in the first place?

 

[MeemVoyage]

Well yeah, at the end of the day a gross fic isn't hurting anyone. Unless it's something particularly skeevy like underage fanfiction of real people, no need to get all up in arms. I for one am all for "don't like, don't seek it out", but I'll also admit that curiosity is hard to ignore and the concept of some fics are just plain funny. Hence, a thread on fanfiction horrors without going out of our way to heckle writers. And it sure is hilarious seeing someone flip their shit about someone writing incest and then go and write a rape fic.

As someone else said, by the looks of it most badfic nowadays has evolved from typo-ridden messes to politics-stuffed schlock, hence all the CoD pooner shit. Also I was previously under the impression that said CoD pooner shit made it abundantly clear who has the pussy. Then I asked a friend about it who's apparently seen it happening and no, apparently it's often left untagged and hits you right in the face. Bo1/Bo3 Zombies enjoyers keep winning, have yet to see pooner Richthofen.

Speaking of troonfics, I genuinely can't tell whether this one's a troll post or not:
