* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: Invoked. [[http://writebadlywell.blogspot.co.uk/2009/12/write-in-way-which-will-not-age-well.html "Write in a way which will not age well"]] is written in a way that places it very firmly in the late 1990's. The protagonist worries about [[MillenniumBug Y2K]] and if the future will be like ''Film/TheMatrix'', while simultaneously playing with his Toys/{{Tamagotchi}} and [[RollerbladeGood rollerblading]].

Critical Research Failure is a disambiguation page


* CriticalResearchFailure:
** Invoked in [[http://writebadlywell.blogspot.com/2010/06/historical-fiction-week-4-dont-get.html "Don't get bogged down in research."]] The 17th-century protagonist is wearing 20th-century clothes and carrying a mobile phone. And apparently the Eiffel Tower has been moved to London.
** Invoked again in [[https://writebadlywell.blogspot.com/2010/08/write-outside-your-comfort-zone.html "Write outside your comfort zone"]]. The hypothetical bad author has no concept of how science works, and so created an OmnidisciplinaryScientist whose many accomplishments are impossible or nonsensical. As a bonus, this author also missed the fact that Shakespeare wrote ''plays''. In ''English''.

* SoBadItsGood: Often the writing is so bad it's hilarious. It can also be unintentionally quotable, i.e. "delayed by lateness" and "silent as refrigerated milk".
