You killed fanfiction, you bastards - we report you!
While we've been drowning in the bile wank that is FanFic_Hate, another livejournal community slipped by us.

Enter BadWritters. They take the hate one step further, they just don't trash the bad fic, they report the bad fic!

Yes, they email fanfiction.net and report TOS violations (grammar, author's notes in the stories) and get the stories booted off ff.net! They are the fiction police of the Internet!

They seem to be quite pleased with themselves here in getting rid of the dreck off of ff.net.

The rules for the community are:

This community is for people who are against bad writing and bad characterisation in fan fiction. It's not, specifically, anti-bad grammar (although that comes into it); nor is it specifically anti-mary-sue (though heaven knows it'll feature a few!).

If it's bad, this is the place for it. Post snippets of the badness or otherwise direct our attention to the worst offenders and let's see if we can rid fanfiction.net of at least some of the stuff that earns the site its reputation.

If, by chance, you recognise errors, or you find that it's your story that's being thoroughly shredded, maybe it's time you rethink your writing.

A word about ratings, slash, character bashing and 'ships:
-All ratings up to and including R are welcome for discussion and snippet posting. If it's bad NC-17...well it shouldn't be up at ff.net in the first place ;)
-Slash is welcome (given the explosion of slash writing - and bad slash writing at that - it's just as well!).
-If the fic character bashes, it's automatically a candidate for this journal, even if it's perfectly spelt/punctuated has good grammar, because if there's a character being bashed, that character is probably out of character, or if they're not, those around them probably are!
-As for 'ships, the only rule is you can't define a story as being bad just for the relationship it portrays. Of course, if that 'ship is mis-spelled, badly punctuated and bashes a third party, bring it on!

Long live the Grammar Nazis!

Please, please, please tell me that the community's name is "BadWritters"(sic) because they're trying to be ironic.

Never mind... they explained why that is in the user info.

Then they obviously need to report and TOS themselves, since they can't even spell 'Writer' plural correctly.

Oh, the irony.

This scares me deeply.

Especially because there is Power Rangers fiction.

Dude! I'm the first to admit that there is crap out there (*cough*brown ranger saga*cough*), but there *is* some good PR fic too! Or at least, I'd like to think so ;) since I write it.

Yes, that lovely little archive in which we learn Zordon is an utter perv, and later Billy.

Damn you KSNicholas, for setting up that massive archive page where I *found* this and clicked on the link out of curiosity.

Well, at least it ain't the Iron Chef slash I stumbled on a few weeks after that...

"The secret ingredient is...me!"
*gasp* "Chairman Kaga! I thought I was the only one!"

Ok i thought the Power Rangers fic sounded frightening, but the Iron Chef slash is enough to send me running screaming in the other direction. *fears*

Well, there was "Three's Company" of course, and that guest shot on "Buffy," and let's not even talk about "Eight Ways To"...

OH. Bad WRITTERS. Not BadRITTERS.

Nevermind. :)

I weep for them - (Anonymous), 2004-06-25 08:30 pm UTC

[info]beccastareyes

You know, as much as I hate things that have never seen a spellchecker, make me weep for the Engligh language, and/or appear to be typed by a squad of deranged golden tamarains, I haeve to wonder what exactly these guys hope to accomplish? I mean, even if they spent a full day at work reporting any badfic they found, that's a drop in the bucket -- especially considering most of the fans will A) whine at them about how OMG SO MEEEN they are and B) Repost/Get a new account/whine to Xing. At leats with concrit, there's a chance the writer will listen and improve -- and you still get the whiny mockworthy emails!

I supose I shouldn't talk, because I will report fics off ff.net -- but usually only for blatant stupidity: "I know chat fics/NC-17/annoucements/etc. are against the rules but I am going to do it anyways and rely on the fan community not to report me!'


Sorry, had to get that out of my system.

given the explosion of slash writing - and bad slash writing at that - it's just as well!)

Goddamnit! Why are all these wankers so discriminatory toward slash? When will they realize that slash has as much right to be around as het or gen? I would understand if they were only out to get badly-written slash. I understand that. But they make it sound like all slash is some sort of plague on humanity.

Get the fuck over it. We're here, out characters are queer, and we aren't go anywhere.

...Dude. There's a difference between "reporting" badfic just for fun/venting/mocking/ideas on how to make it better/etc, and being a bunch of glorified tattletales. "Teacher, teacher, Bobby didn't cross his Ts right!" :P

Of course, if that 'ship is mis-spelled, badly punctuated and bashes a third party, bring it on!

Dear Community Owners:

*ahem*

IT'S SPELLED W-R-I-T-E-R-S, NOT W-R-I-T-T-E-R-S. ONE 'T', NOT TWO.

Er, ya'll?

Lastly if you're wondering, the extra t in the username is in honour of the author who prompted the formation of this community - who insists (despite at least four people telling her otherwise) that writer/writing is spelt with a double t in it. - the userinfo
