* In the SCPFoundation, there were a series of SCPs that the authors decided they really, really didn't like. So they came up with heavily exaggerated stories detailing how the Foundation got rid of them, all involving very horrible ends for the SCPs, which became known as "decommissioned" SCPs. After this purge they decided not to ever do it again, lest writers create terrible SCPs purely in the hopes of getting awesome declassified stories.

** Sakura is attacked without mercy. Just about every character in ''Naruto'' has been subject to a Hate-Fic, but not as many as Sakura.
*** In the Fanfic [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2595197/1/Darkness-within Darkness Within]], you can see how much the author absolutely hates Sakura and, to a lesser extent, Sasuke. The author wrote it out of frustration and was completely shocked on how many positive reviews it got.

* There is a fic in which Syaoran from ''Manga/CardcaptorSakura'' grew up to be a wife beater, and Tomoyo called in a favor from her mother to have him killed in a hit-and-run. Given how [[DieForOurShip incredibly reviled he is in the shoujo-ai community]] surrounding the series, due to the perception that he's a poor match for Sakura and edged out the more deserving Tomoyo as her Significant Other, It is surprising that there isn't more about. Since his personality was good enough to land him a role in an AlternateUniverse show, more level-headed fans admit the dislike is less about his personality than his use in the story. (Although since said show is ''TsubasaReservoirChronicle'', an increasingly dark series with more and more implausible SoapOpera drama, there ''might'' be some sadism involved...)
** At the height of Eriol/Tomoyo's popularity, it was not uncommon to find fics where Kaho, Eriol's official LoveInterest was put through a HumiliationConga that only started with Eriol dumping her for Tomoyo amid cheers from the rest of the cast. One particularly ridiculous fic gave the "justification" for all the torture that Kaho was ''too tall'' for Eriol. Yes, a woman being taller than her boyfriend apparently makes it all right for everyone to abandon her when she's kidnapped.

**** How, exactly, are they Revenge Fics?

If this is done by the original author, it might be DerailingLoveInterests or a form of CreatorBacklash. Can be closely allied to DieForOurShip or OhCrapThereAreFanficsOfUs.

* In the SCPFoundation, there were a series of S.C.P.s that the authors decided they really, really didn't like. So they came up with heavily exaggerated stories detailing how the Foundation got rid of them, all involving very horrible ends for the S.C.P.s, which became known as "declassified" S.C.P.s. After this purge they decided not to ever do it again, lest writers create terrible S.C.P.s purely in the hopes of getting awesome declassified stories.

** [[TheHero Naruto]] himself is not immune to this. One particular fic for example decided to {{Flanderization strip away every characteristic}} except his love of ramen. The result was a morbidly obese Naruto who's both lazy and a complete coward. It's particularly jarring when Haku (one of Naruto's first friends in canon) outright hates Naruto specifically for being fat.

* [[NetorareGenre Netorare]] is the RuleThirtyFour way of responding to spineless harem males, or so some claim.

* {{Netorare}} is the RuleThirtyFour way of responding to spineless harem males, or so some claim.

* In this ''{{Naruto}}'' Fanfic [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2595197/1/Darkness-within Darkness Within]], you can see how much the author absolutely hates Sakura and by a lesser extent, Sasuke. The author wrote it out of frustration and was completely shocked on how many positive reviews it got.

** A lot of fics seem to revolve around {{Naruto}} getting revenge for his initial status as ButtMonkey in the first couple of arcs. Even though things improve for him later on in the series, some [[FanDumb angry Fans]] cannot seem to let go...

*** Despite being an excellent writer overall and one of the most popular writers in both fandoms, Matthew "Viridian" Schocke has a tendency to do this in his ''HarryPotter'' and ''{{Naruto}}'' fics.

* [[RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgement Tread carefully here]], for some shipping wars never die, but [[{{Metaphorgotten}} merely sleep]] in [[CosmicHorrorStory their house at R'Lyeh until the stars align]]. As the canon pairings in HarryPotter became apparent, shippers for other couples (most famously, Harry/Hermione) started making massive numbers of {{Revenge Fic}}s targeting anyone in the way of said preferred couples - the most popular targets being Ginny Weasley, and [[RonTheDeathEater a certain inadvertently Trope-Naming sibling of hers]].

* Dakari King Mykan is infamous for only writing that kind of fanfiction in general. By December 2012 he has written over 145 fanfics, most of which center around him turning lovable characters of shows like [[Franchise/{{Digimon}} ''Digimon'']] and [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans ''Teen Titans'']] into jerkasses who hurt or kill their friends, because he is unhappy with the fact certain pairings got bombed (to the point that the ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' finale '''literally gave him PTSD'''). Thankfully he sucks so much, people who write [=MSTings=]of his work told him to grow up and do worse to the characters than what he thinks is evil.

* Sir Arthur Conan Doyle getting sick of SherlockHolmes and throwing him off Reichenbach Falls probably counts, even though the death [[DisneyDeath didn't stick]]. So this is OlderThanRadio.

* Another OlderThanRadio example is Garrett P. Serviss' 1898 unauthorized sequel to H. G. Wells' novel ''Literature/TheWarOfTheWorlds'', ''Edison's Conquest of Mars.'' In this novel '''ThomasEdison''' ''reverse engineers the Martian technology,''combines it with a few inventions of his own to build a ''giant space fleet,'' and proceeds to ''fly to Mars with a huge army'' and beat the living crap out of the Martians with ludicrous ease. The entire book seems dedicated to inflicting as much pain on the Martians as possible, although the characters relent slightly near the end. Due to the lax copyright laws of the time period Serviss had no legal problems serializing or publishing the novel. H. G. Wells did not approve of the book. Thomas Edison did.

* This often happened to Shinji from ''NeonGenesisEvangelion'', possibly because the authors saw ''[[ThisLoserIsYou too much]]'' of themselves in him. Of course, since he's from ''Evangelion'', {{Canon}} wasn't especially nice to him either, but still...

* In [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5103188/1/The-Grinning-Snake The Grinning Snake]], a crossover between ''MaiHime'' and ''HellGirl'' written by someone upset over [[KarmaHoudini Shizuru not suffering any consequences for her actions]], the daughter of one of the people Shizuru killed in her attack on First District Headquarters, after uncovering evidence of her guilt and failing to get Shizuru charged with murder or hear any true remorse from her, uses the Hell Correspondence to enter into a contract with Enma Ai to send her to Hell, making it also a ''literal'' revenge fic.
* This seems to be the main purpose of FanFic/RoboBando.

* In [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5103188/1/The-Grinning-Snake this]] crossover between MaiHime and HellGirl, written by someone upset over [[KarmaHoudini Shizuru not suffering any consequences for her actions]], the daughter of one of the people Shizuru killed in her attack on First District Headquarters, after uncovering evidence of her guilt and failing to get Shizuru charged with murder or hear any true remorse from her, uses her contract with Ai Enma to send her to Hell, making it also a ''literal'' revenge fic.

When the writer has a chip on his shoulder for whatever reason, and inflicts misery on a character perceived to deserve it. Often occurs when the character's role is incidental and the writer really just has a problem with the distinct personality type, or if the character is [[DieForOurShip in the way of the writer's pairing of choice]]. Another name for it is Anti Fic, although this term implies a degree of clever and biting satire. This type of fic is more commonly referred to as Bashing Fic.

* Spitefic based on {{Alternative Character Interpretation}}s of Literature/{{Fifty Shades Of Grey}}'s Christian Grey is fairly popular. This ranges from playing up and then deconstructing his canonical BastardBoyfriend traits to depicting him as a [[http://archiveofourown.org/collections/yuletide2012/works/608134 literal people-eating monster]] (which is kind of hilarious if you're familiar with ''50 Shades''' original inspiration.)

* {{Netorare}} is RuleThirtyFour way of responding to spineless harem males so some claim.
** Not much of a stretch, considering the definition of ''{{Netorare}}'' is more or less "Sex with the faithful man rendered helpless to stop" in some way, via drugs, bondage or even taunting them victim though photos...

* [[TrollFic Parodied]] ''in FanFic/TheHorriblyBloodyDeathOfKairi''. The author imitated the hate dumb against Kairi so well, that a lot of people didn't notice it's a TrollFic.

* There's a ''PhineasAndFerb'' fan fiction writer called "Blackspiderman". A long time ago, he hated Candace. And almost every single thing he wrote had Candace going through all this shit and sometimes some characters will go OOC to rage about her and her busting obsession. Yes. But now, he likes her, and has stopped writing revenge fics. and now he even considers them his OldShame

* The LemonyNarrator of ''Fanfic/TwilightSparklesAwesomeAdventure'' ''really'' hates Fluttershy (from ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'').
** ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' characters, particularly Trixie, Celestia, Gilda and Pinkie Pie are often target of this trope.
