I feel like people submitting have goit to remember that just because a fanfic is bad, doesn't make it so bad it';s good. Some of these are just flat out BAD.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you what just might be the My Immortal of the Gorillaz fandom: Noodle's Secret Lover. This thing starts off simple enough: after having her romantic advances be rejected by 2D, Noodle conspires with her friend Kitty to make him jealous by pretending to be in a relationship. A few chapters in, however, and it becomes apparent that this thing is an absolute gem. Highlights include:

And there's quite a bit more. I'd check it out if I were you, for all of it is truly hilarious; however, if you do not wish to lose any brain cells, you might be interested to know that I have just completed a sporking of it, which can be found here. Enjoy!

EDITING REMARK: I decided to add an entirely new description, since I felt that the previous one didn't give you a great idea of just how bad this thing was. I hope you don't mind.

I just recently read a very strange transformers fanfic called A song of fire and iron it's about a blue haired 17 year old who looks like a Victoria's secret model that's also a trex sized werewolf mary sue who lives in a post apocalyptic world and gets into a love triangle with Optimus prime and a shakespeare quoting Megatron. It also has xenomorphs, zombies, and mutants, it's also a musical.

Is there a reason the Girl Who Lived (Harry Potter fanfic) page has disappeared? It had a full trope page and is mentioned in a number of articles here, but the page has been deleted and locked, for seemingly no reason.

Umm... any particular reason why I'm on here... I've gotten better since then. Oh and it makes me feel awful and like I'm being made fun of, even though I might not be.

The quality of one's past work isn't affected by skills they've gained afterward.

If nobody objects, I'm going to sort the Literature examples into Harry Potter and Other, since more than half of them are HP fics.

Here's a weirder author I've found: Ghostmctavish.

The thing that I find so strange about him is that he often reviews horrible stories using legitimate reasoning and correct grammar, but his own stories are full of typos, immaturity, narm, and all-around bad writing. Chances are pretty good that he's a troll mocking other people.

I'm alive and less annoying than ever before.

Someone just added Hermione's New Change. Considering it's already in So Bad, It's Good, and is in fact the page quote, it should probably be removed.

Because I don't see how a story can be both So Bad, It's Good and So Bad Its Horrible. But other people might disagree, which is why I haven't edited it myself.

It's in SBIH and rightly so. Even the sporking is painful to read. SBIG is for works that are funny, Snark Bait, or can otherwise be made fun of in their lack of quality; SBIH is for when the vast majority agrees it's not even fun to mock. Only the creator likes an SBIH work.

I removed it from SBIH. If its listed as both, then its probably So Bad, It's Good.

ProgenyExMachina Since: Dec, 2009

It should at least be discussed further. One or two people out of hundreds or thousands thinking it's SBIG doesn't prevent it from being SBIH.

Agreed that it should be discussed further — though if it hadn't been brought up here, I might simply have cut it there after I found it here.

When in doubt, So Bad, It's Good trumps So Bad Its Horrible. It's easier to demonstrate that a work has a sincere fanbase than that it doesn't. These pages are still white, last I checked; SBIH is black....

Just saying this: I'm pretty sure that not only is "Sign of the Dead" a troll, but he might be a troper. Most of his "favorites" or their authors have been mentioned on this page or site in general. Peter Chimaera, Squirrel King, Thirty Hs (fan fic), Mangogirl (mentioned on So Bad Its Horrible), Comix Nix (mentioned on Troll Fic), Hans Von Hozel, etc.

He and his stories no longer exists on fanfiction.net, so I'm removing this (which also included too many quotes).

  • Sign Of The Dead. His works include: Objectism for begginers, Shinji and The Brain, Captian Planet goes to London, Super Presidential space action. and the aptly named Harry and Draco kill vampires with their cocks
    • His profile says:
      Hi guys. My hobbies include video games, B movies, comics, and smoking weed. I love u all.
    • Author's note. I do not speak German, but German and English are so closely related that it's easy to make things sound German by adding en to the end of a word, and adding das and von at random points of a sentence. That's von, not van. Van is Dutch. Also they like to combin two or three words into one long word a lot in german, so instead of "mother fuck!", it'd be "Das moothurfooken!"
    • Obama stood before the robot. "so now what are you going to do lil man?" asked the iron titian. "Something that should've been done long ago" said Obama, removing his pimp coat revealing him to be wearing nothing but a bad ass vest + karate pantz combo. With this he leaped into the air. "FOOORRR AMMMERRRIIICCCAA!!!!!!1" he screamed as he performed a flying kung fu kick, a gatling gun in one hand, a katana in the other, fire shooting from his eyes, ices shooting from his mouth, and laserz shoting form his nipples, he attacked the robot with the fury of centuries worth reprezed of black rage over slavery and segrigashun, but it wasn't enough.
    • The guy wrote a lot of fics featuring president Obama as a literal God-Mode Sue (yes, literal, he somehow becomes a Hindu god)
    • Also, Teen Titian party. Featuring such gems as cyborg talking in a combination of black slag and binary code, Sophisticated as Hell descriptions of Raven that contrasts shockingly with the general spelling and grammar fail, and the basic plot. The Teen Titians get drunk and high, and batman decides to punish them for it (spoilers of NSFW bits):
      Robin wuz on teh phone wif batman asking 4 moar money cuase bruce wayne is rich and bataman is actuaklly bruce wayne. "What happened to the money I gave u earlyer? Bruce wayne ask. "I spend it all on booze and weed!" say robin as beast hump his leg in form of bull massstiv dog. "Wut? Underage booze and weed r illegal! Fuck u!" say batman and jump into bat jet. Batman wuz in san franciso from gotham city in .5 seconds even though it was over 4 million miles away, cause the bat jet iss fast. Batmna crash into titian tower window. "Die criminal scum!" say batman as he throw batrangs into everyone head and kill. "no batman! Don't kill! I make mistake!" say robin. But it wux 2 late, as batman wass already raping robin's assholio with his batcock. Then he shot his greasy baby making curds into a hole where the only babys that come out are choclate mud babeez, and reached into his pocket and pull out gun that say "Teh gun dat kill'd my parents!" and shot robin in head. He then [[ pull his cock out and say "I AM JUSTICE!1". Next mourning batman feel bad for murdering teenz and brng them all back to life, and then weed and underage booze was legal so he never have to do it agaiuin, and they all live happily eva after!
      cyborg was all like "Shawty be 100101010101 disk read error 10101001 101 1001 111 Jive turkey!1" as he jammed fried chick watermelon floopy disks and a car battery down his throat.

Also no longer on fanfiction.net:
