Three tricks to writing bad fanfiction:
2. Outrageous plots that break the Willing Suspension of Disbelief
3. Mary-Sue-esque OC's.
There are too many toasters in my chimney!
Just write whatever comes to your mind. Add blatant continuity errors, racist/pedophile overtones, malapropisms, typos, unfunny jokes, plagiarism, missing chapters, characters changing names unannounced, and maybe top it off with an obnoxious, poorly-written mary sue.
Somehow I think writing a 'good' fanfic is going to be the part you'll have more trouble with.
Don't go overboard on the misspellings. A few here and there are funny. More than that just make it a pain in the ass to read.

Also, think carefully about the degree of racism and sexism you want to work in, and how blatantly. Those are both hallmarks of terrible fanfiction, but they're another thing that can tip you from "hilariously bad" to "just plain annoying to read" pretty quickly.

Make sure you show a really blatant opinion on a part of the original work, and show that you "think" it's the best opinion.
I write pretty good fanfiction, sometimes.
Try writing everything together, then posting them separately. It's a lot of work but it would make the final fic that much better.
If you misspell a character's name consistently, make it a mistake you could possibly imagine someone making ("Yumi" instead of "Yomi," for instance) rather than one that's obviously a joke ("Fellatio" instead of "Felicia?")
An alternative to racism: blatantly evangelical overtones.
Observe this retelling of Oban Star Racers:
Ceres now began to play his flute to try and trap Molly, but as Molly listened to the flute playing she could understand that this music was sad and sorrowful. So she connected her mind with Ceres, and began speaking to him 'Ceres how are you able to end my suffering, when you yourself are suffering?'
'How would a creature like you…understand the pain of being the last of your kind?'
'Because I too have always felt alone…even with the Avatar and Oban who are my parents, I've felt truly apart of them…don't think that you're alone Ceres, because there are others like you out there' her words seemed to touch him, and he stopped playing his flute and stopped racing as well.
Of course, the major OOC helped, but GOD...
Hey everyone, I have a bit of a problem. I've got this sort of plan where I'm posting several intentionally So Bad, It's Good Stealth Parody fanfics on Fanfiction Dot Net, in order to achieve notoriety as a bad fanfiction writer. Once this is accomplished, I will start posting chapters which are actually well-written, tie all the badfics together, and serve as a Mind Screwdriver to the previous ones, building up to a Grand Finale which will hopefully be So Cool Its Awesome.
Anyone have any advice on how to accomplish the first step? What I mean is, what makes really bad fanfiction memorable? What should I do to make my bad fanfics get noticed more often, and stick in people's minds long enough for me to become relatively infamous? I'd prefer not to include too many spelling errors or any explicit sexual content.
Also, a side note relating to the overall plot: if I give Franklin Roosevelt a Historical Villain Upgrade and have him manipulate and outsmart Cthulhu, Azathoth, and Nyarlathotep as part of a plan for World Domination, would that make him seem like a Magnificent Bastard, or just a Villain Sue?
