Speaking of masochists, the thread is dry so I figured you would all enjoy being subjected to the pain I have suffered with for 8 years now knowing THIS is still on the internet. As @Beluga said, for science. I haven’t taken my old account down because there is still some nostalgia in it, even if it makes me cringe inside out, so I’m posting it in text under a spoiler. One I can handle sharing to point and laugh at, 18 I cannot.

Story complete with such tropes as

-smirks
-stuttering
-husky whispers
-incoherent formatting
-men getting hard and cumming in record yaoi time
-parenthesized comments from the author, because I thought I was funny

for your reading pleasure.

Without further ado.

"Sixteen now, huh? I remember my sixteenth last year...didn't get shit." Dally laughed as he flicked his cigarette onto the ground and crushed it nonchalantly with his foot. Johnny cast his gaze to the side. The gang had all gone home around eleven o'clock to get some sleep before school and work, but it had been a great party. Not too loud, but funny as hell. Sharing his birthday with the love of his life as well was far more than enough, but a small part of him felt empty.



"I just wish my parents gave a damn, you know?" he whispered. The swearword was uttered a little softer, like he was hesitant to say it. Dally glared towards the ceiling. "Who needs the lousy bastards? My old man thought leaving the house for the night was the best gift a kid could ask for. Guess it was, really, or I wouldn't have gotten it on with that sweet broad...”

Johnny thought for a second. Dally had never dated a decent chick in his life, merely let her check out his muscles and then some. As for him, he'd hardly spoken to a girl before and that was just fine. His eyes were devoted to his friend.

"What's it like, Dal?" he asked tentatively. "I mean, not the whole sex part but just being with a girl." Dally chuckled and pondered the question for a moment. "Aside from the whining, bitching, giggling and fights? None too much to be proud of, really." His heart lifted a bit. Maybe there was a remote chance that he was like him.

But Dally was clever. He could tell by the deep blush on Johnny's face, the way he shifted his eyes, he was hiding a question. And there was a pretty fair guess to what that was; "Are you gay?" Typically Dally would beat the everloving shit out of anyonewho asked him that, even Darry. But there was something about Johnny's appearance, something about that kicked-puppy teen he loved so much that he almost wanted to admit it.

"I was just wondering 'cause...I mean, I don't really like girls all that much." he mumbled. "Well, what do you think of me?" Dally asked with a coy smile. Johnny's eyes widened and he glanced away, blushing madly. "It's, um, I just think...you're, uh, I mean...nevermind." he stuttered.

"Kid, you've still got cake on your cheek." Dally grinned. Before Johnny could raise his hand to get it off, he leaned over and licked it off with his tongue (NO, I THOUGHT HE DID WITH HIS FOOT). The wind was practically knocked out of him. "W-W-Wha...Why did...I-I could've gotten it m-myself..." The normal whisper he spoke in was now practically silent. Dally bit back a smirk.

Without hesitation, he placed his hand upon Johnny's. "I didn't catch what you said earlier. What do you think of me?" The way Johnny shook was almost humorous to him, but he didn't laugh. Instead, he just grinned seductively.



"I-I was gonna say...w-well, it's s-s-stupid."



"Want me to tell you first?"



"Huh? Uh, go ahead."



"I think you're the cutest guy I've ever laid my eyes on." With that, Dally wrapped his arms around him in a warm embrace. Johnny's mind went blank.



"D'you mean it, Dal?" he inquired, miraculously speaking full sentences. "Would I lie to you?" The two of them sat for a moment, locked in each others' arms, before finally Johnny felt something.



"There's something hot pressing against my leg..." he murmured. Dally feigned surprise. "Don't think I didn't feel you on my hip." he said. Johnny looked away and crossed his legs.



Still, despite his modesty, his arousal was getting painful. He stared into Dally's eyes and said bluntly, "I need you." Not for the moment, but forever, they both knew. Dally slowly unzipped his jeans for him and rubbed his hand on Johnny's inner thigh. Even that made him shiver.

He lowered his head and Johnny shut his eyes tight, embarrassed and yet turned on at the sight of Dally in such a position. A soft whine escaped his lips as Dally's mouth took in his erection, sliding up and down. Johnny mewled. He stared in a mixture of disbelief and lust as Dally continued. He tossed his head back as soft moans and gasps escaped his lips and Dally grinned. He took it in as deeply as possible, making him gasp and buck out of his control. "Aaahn! D-Dally! Not so fast...I'm almost..."



It was becoming increasingly hard to breathe, the room filled with pleasured moans and breathless gasps. "It's…a-aah…it's so good..." he whispered frantically. "What did you say you thought of me?" Dally asked huskily in his ear. "I love you, Dally, so- mmn! So much..." With one final stroke he came hard, his back arching almost painfully, as his friend swallowed each drop.

They lay together, still huddled close (yes, he has his pants back on). "Johnny, I feel the same way about you. Without the orgasm." They both laughed, out of breath but still smiling.
"Happy birthday, Johnnycakes."

I feel a sense of relief, like taking control of my own cringe was the key to unshackling me from humiliation. I can go on to write decent works without fear now. Peace be with ye, autists. Embrace my curse and learn well from it.

...I am so sorry S.E. Hinton.
You should be ashamed. :crocodile:
 
-husky whispers
I like that trope... :oops:

Thanks for your noble sacrifice. I'd like to post some old stuff from my pre-teen years 'cause I've written some cringe, too (including self-inserting myself into Cardcaptors as Sakura's new neighbor), but they all died with the old computers and laptops I've had and they never saw the light of day to begin with. Also the one crack fic I wrote for a middle school assignment is too much of a powerlevel to post even an excerpt of 'cause I share it to other writers for the lulz. You never forget those horrid memories, though. So much productivity--lost.

Speaking of bad fanfiction, what is the fucking deal with Daisuke being the most "popular" (OU) character in Digimon fanfiction?

Seriously, the little shit is everywhere. More prominently in crossovers.
That's funny, didn't know he's shown up so much in crossovers. My best guess is as "Davis", he has the most gag-dub lines of the cast (so expect fic writers to think they're oh-so funny to make him say stupid shit) and was the punching bag to the localizers. He's also as "Daisuke" stuck in a "love triangle" with Kari and T.K. and then got paired up with Ken, so he's an uwu gayboi to a lot of fic writers. And as the gogglehead of the season, he's gonna have a presence regardless.

If he's gained in popularity in recent years, it's for shipping reasons, otherwise, I'm just as lost as you. And I admit to liking Davis even if he'd be an annoying little shit as a person, he's just a "fungi".

fucking—

So I was browsing google images, searching to update my Snufkin avatar, just having a good old innocent time. Moomin comics, ahh, so funny. Snufkin holding a knife! What a silly little picture, I’ll have to save it it’s so funny.

What’s this I spy with my little eye?

Hanging out in the bottom right corner, an image that assaulted my unready eyes and reminded me that no fandom is safe. Chapter 1? Chapter 1??? It can’t be...

Oh, but it can be. Upon following the link like a suicidal hattifattener I found what could only exist on Wutpad, a three chapter Snufkin x Stinky fanfiction complete with fanart. And here I thought Moomin x Snufkin shippers were going too far.

In all honesty it’s probably a troll, but if it is it’s a bad one. Troll fanfics aren’t always funny but they at least make it clear that it’s a satire in some way. Have a read if you want, it’s short but it exists and that’s proof enough to me that God does not.

It's been too long since I last posted, and so I shall post for the sake of shit.

This is a fanfiction where Cartman and Kyle began to like each other and then it goes downhill.
 
Alright, I'll bite... Some of these in this thread are brilliant! This one's but a footnote of one of the many goofy shits I've come across during my travels on the 'capital I' Internet.
A bit of context. Several years back I got into Lord of the Rings Online. I happened to settle on the RP server, Laurelin. I stumbled across Roleplayers early on and overtime got to know a few as some pretty decent people and it was fun to just shoot the shit with them and run content.
It was a comfy time, while I never got into Roleplay -I tried because I'm a sucker for writing but I never had the patience for hours of standing around drinking virtual beers.- I particularly got along with Roleplayers, they were all in all the most comfy people on the server. But all comfy things must be utterly buttfucked by drama and shitflinging in the end.

And so it came to pass that the Gay One arrived.
We'll refer to him as 'Druid'.

Druid was a FTM trans man who identified as a gay. (So biologically straight?) An outspoken member of the LGBTIWTFBBQ+ though did not join the local 'gay' guild, Wood Elves (I shit you not, that was their name) presumably out of a disagreement.

At first he wasn't completely insufferable. He started out as a fairly typical roleplayer, most of the RP that happened in lotro was fairly respectful of Tolkien's works and there was so much shit in the game you wouldn't usually have to make things up.
There were always the weirdo fuckers who tried to RP as bat people and evil Elves and pirates and shit but that's to be expected in any RP 'community'. Everyone ignored them and they eventually fucked off.
But this fella... He stayed around.

It didn't take long until he started stepping on people's toes though... In his little headcannon he had turned Dol Amroth, a Gondorian city into this supposed LGBT+ friendly city where gay marriage was perfectly legal and his character married another man and they got increasingly more open and vulgar about it.
This annoyed pretty much everyone. Those who knew Tolkien would be rolling in his grave at the very idea of gay sexing and others that were more tolerant got pissed off because he pushed it in everyone's faces and forced people to accept that his character was openly gay in a setting where that shit would have likely got you hanged. I believe they opted to call his behavior ''immersion breaking'' to skirt around the fact that everyone just didn't like him because of his faggotry

Of course there were people at the time who fully enabled him and such is the nature of Discord channels that a lot of shady shit went on behind a servers ran by a middle aged woman who actively sought out ERP (Erotic Roleplay) with anyone who played a young male character. Discord was only coming into itself as the cesspit it is known for today and even back then I knew shit was a haven for groomers and obsessive faggotry so I stayed WELL clear.

Some time passed. And Druid, being a cunt to everyone and openly and publicly ERPing with his newly acquired roleplay husband any chance he get which not only creeped out many players both young and old, but -it later turned out he was grooming his RP partner into an IRL predatory relationship which ended up getting physically violent- . I WISH I had more information on that because it was a rabbit hole for certain but I never touched Discord even when a lot of my friends were moving over to it. It essentially killed the RP community as all the roleplaying and ongoing plots were contained in private discord channels... The same channels Druid and his enablers ran.

Needless to say that he earned the ire of a lot of people within the RP side of the server. He became the notorious faggot of the server. If you've played in a fairly tightknit gaming community you know what I'm talking about... The one person everyone tries so hard to tolerate but everyone laughs/hates behind their back.
While I barely followed the shitshow, someone eventually had enough of his shit and attempted to dox him, uncovering his IRL name, place of residence, facebook and instagram along with some dox of his at that time sub partner.
And of course, he found Druid's Archive Of Our Own account, which brings us to the fanficton in question.

Gentlemen, I present to you, A Star Stable fanfiction.
The Straw Filled Hole

Star Stable is a horse game for little girls, so the fact there's a gay smutty fanfiction about it made by a FTM tranny in his mid twenties involving a gay old farmer fucking a twink scarecrow in the mouth and ass is goofy enough to deserve a mention.

To me, this is his greatest work of art, his magnum opus if you will. It's not much, reading time is about 10 to 15 minutes, one good fap session or so, but it does end abruptly, as though he suddenly had a moment of clarity after his fapping and thought "holy fuck what did I write?" but he wasn't shamed by his actions enough to NOT upload it to the internet for all to see.

This was the fanfiction that ultimately made him leave lotro and probably move on to greener pastures for his weird gay ERP shit.

He has more on his AO3 account... But to me this particular fanfiction will always have a soft spot in my heart just because of the context of it.
I have to stress that the server I played on lotro had a RP community full of the most perceptive autists ever, they would be able to recognize eachother based on people's writing style literally after half an hour of interacting with them in character.
Turns out they confirmed it was Druid just by the fact he changes tenses mid sentences... Not to mention the creepy older man fucking a young scarecrow twink in the mouth and ass... I'm pretty sure that was what gave it away in the end...

If I remember correctly, there's a community writing site for lotro called Laurelin Archives. The stuff there is really tame, barely worth your time to visit... It's mostly just roleplayers writing stories of their characters and adventures, really inoffensive and normal stuff compared to other RP circles you'd find out there... But sometimes I'll check it just to see if there's another Druid making smutty fanfictions while acting coy about it... Because the shit he wrote was... Special.

After this fanfiction got shared around the community and suspicions grew of his predatory behavior, Druid left quietly and was never heard from again... People have turned this particular fanfiction into an inside joke and it became a rite of initiation for my guild for everyone to get into a voice call and read the fanfiction to new recruits. I miss those times just laughing at shit on the internet without really knowing why I enjoyed it so much.

You know even though that star stable sausage in spinchter smut isn't the most cursed thing (that title belongs to the buzz on Maggie fic or the draco skullfucking one or the one where Harry Potter fucks his dad's corpse) there's still not enough alcohol in the world to make me forget about it.:drink::drink::drink::drink::drink::drink:

It's a FTM, so *she.
 
Many many years ago, I ran across a terrible X-Men fanfic which SHOULD have scarred me for life.

Why did it not do so? Because it was being MST'ed by a fairly top-notch writer (who sadly is no longer with us).

So here's to you, Kielle, you magnificent wordsmith. For making me laugh myself silly when I first ran across your MSTie almost 20 years ago. Skaal!

Behold, the horror of 'X'!

May I introduce a fine 1998 vintage of the X-files fandom: Life from the ashes. Arguably the grandfather of modern A/B/O each work longer than a NaNo novel with plot elements such as a virus wiping out 66% of the female population but somehow giving half the male population functioning uteruses and immortality. They're able to reproduce via belly-button sex (which is also where the baby comes out of 9 months later), Mulder being psychically raped and some hilariously bad cover art:

Xfiles_lftabook4cover.jpg

one thing I find somewhat funny is how the first 4 covers have some kind of consistency between them with the same font black backgrounds with giant faces superimposed over them etc. but then the author completely gives up on book 4, and it looks like an Anne Geddes photograph
 
Does it grind someone else's gears when people write fics about relationships between men and FtM troons and call it yaoi? Is this a fetish, virtue signaling or self insert?

That thought couldn't leave me, and I looked up fanfic writer demographics out of curiosity and now take a look at these surveys taken in 2013 and 2020:

tumblr_inline_mtzxx7aidn1rrsl08.jpg

Notice an extremely significant rise in male authors and drop in female? Honestly, makes me wonder which percentage of these is guys who got into a traditionally female hobby and which are just Aydens. Wish I could analyse raw ao3 data over the years and ponder over the trends and changes 🤔

one thing I find somewhat funny is how the first 4 covers have some kind of consistency between them with the same font black backgrounds with giant faces superimposed over them etc. but then the author completely gives up on book 4, and it looks like an Anne Geddes photograph
