Would you write a horrible fanfic of your own series?

Just for giggles, I was contemplating this. Would anyone else here write a purposefully bad fanfic of their own original work? What if you knew you'd never get caught at it? Or if you did get caught, how would you fess up?

Well, Stuck being Stuck, I have a feeling I could very easily turn the relatively good first part of it into a shameless Unaccompanied Minors ripoff but worse.

Not like I will though. I'll leave that to the Internet to produce. If it doesn't, oh, well.

oh, that's why I need this binary mind //

I totally would. If I got caught and the Fan Dumb was pissed off I'd say "WHATEVER, YOU GUYS ARE JUST JEALOUS BECAUSE MY MARY SUES ARE WORSE THAN YOURS."

I might be tempted to, for the lulz. There is very little I will not write for the sake of comedy. But there's no need because the story itself has all of the crackfic potential already in it as canon.

whoever wrote this shit needs to step on a rake in a comedic fashion

Yes. I'd write any excess yaoi I'd need to vent out so it would not hamper my actual story.

I would write AU stories, stating what would happen if they did something.

It would start off at my usual quality writing, but soon slip, becoming worse and worse and worse until it becomes obvious I'm trolling everyone.

There are too many toasters in my chimney!

I'd write it under a pen-name for extensive nit-picking of all the faults my main story has, commenting just how "bad" it is to get in with the Fans, to try to understand on the outside of my story, better ways to improve it.

This, all the way. It doesn't help that I already kind of do that in a way (totally not canon, of course). >_<

As well as the massive amounts of character pairing stories, each one commenting on why these characters would make a good pair. But then I'd never actually pair my characters.

Fan Pairing is always going to be more interesting anyway

On that note, does it count if you have multiple alternate storylines for your series ("Canon", "Alternative Universe Almost Canon But Not Quite", and a "Pair the Spares, Everyone Has Lots Of Sex") and contribute to all of them almost equally?

^I do something like that. I'm planning on having an OU book and an AU graphic novel.

@Midnight Velvet: Yeah, that counts.

All right, you guys have convinced me to give it a shot... if nothing else, it'll be something to work on when I have writer's block. Any particular suggestions for the worst Tasakeru fanfic ever written?

After much thought I decided no, because it would be a waste of time that could have been spent writing an original story. I figure most people would understand my disapproval of fanfiction, and the remainder would not be satisfied by my bad Fan Fic of my story.

Has ADD, plays World of Tanks, thinks up crazy ideas like children making spaceships for Hitler. Occasionally writes them down.

Hell no, I spent eight years learning how to not write bad fanfiction.

...buuuuuuut if we were talking about "utterly pointless", I have a lot of random sex scenes lying around.

Yes, I'm more likely to release outtakes or silly explorations than write bad fanfic. I might write "what if my characters were dropped into 21st century America" or something and have fun with it.

Yes. And I wouldn't even try to hide it.

Bad fanfiction might just be the funnest thing to write ever.

I would, but there's already too many Order Of The Stick fanfics out there.

HELL YES

I used to amuse myself when I was like twelve by writing ridiculously purple-prose Mary Sue fics full of lurid description for my characters. Only my ugly ones. I knew it was wrong, but it was like eating chocolate with chocolate sauce.

I once wrote an essay where I had to make a Mary Sue for my own work(for example purposes) I had way too much fun and probably shouldn't have made it so obvious.

If my novels ever actually get published, I think I would write lame fanfics just for laughs.

"Mad Max looked Headcase in the eyes because that means he loves him. Then they sexed each other and Black Mark was there too by the way."

Grr. Argh.
