Personally I'm curious how many Suefics there are. I know of at least one that was actually published; it was in that Lovecraft/Conan Doyle crossover collection with A Study In Emerald.
A True Lady's Quest - A Jojo is You!![]()
I don't know what you want, you're just asking for trouble... If I were you I would go to the pit and find the first one with bad grammar. Preferly for the last film version since the audience of younger, more inexperienced writers will be probably be there. D On't say I didn't warn you... Or maybe check out the other pit...?
A Study in Emerald makes me happy in the pants. For those of you who don't know, it's a Lovecraft/Holmes crossover written by NEIL GAIMAN with references to other Victorian British figures (Spring-Heeled Jack, Dr. Jekyll, etc.).
Anywho, the one good thing I've found about less common fandoms is that the fanfic tends to be much, much better. I read (and write :D) quite a bit of SH fanfic and I've never seen a truly awful one.
The Beekeeper's Apprentice is terrible. The sad part is that it's published.
Warm hugs and morally questionable advice given here. Prosey BitchfestSherlock Holmes: The Missing Years (I think it's called The Mandala of Sherlock Holmes in the UK, which is all and all a much better warning label) starts out as a reasonably average pastiche with a Rudyard Kipling character serving as Watson. Then it begins to dawn on you that this story was written by a particularly militant Tibetan nationalist. Then they actually get to the Dalai Lama, and abruptly it's WHAM INDIANA JONES MYSTICAL BUDDHIST NINJITSU. And that last bit does not even begin to do the craziness of the third act justice.
If you want a bad pastiche, that one is about as entertaining as you'll find.
Hail Martin Septim!Mary Russell is totally a Sue, sure, but having survived too many Death Note fanfics with alleged "geniuses" to count, I have to credit King for exerting all her effort into selling her as a highly capable character with interesting stories to tell. She doesn't always succeed - particularly when the romance with Holmes is involved, because eww - but god knows she makes the attempt.
Hail Martin Septim!One that was actually published and that got some fan rage over at the PPC forums is a story called "The Seven Percent Solution." I haven't read it, but apparently it takes the opinion that Moriarty was a drug-induced hallucination of Holmes, and that it features a particularly obnoxious Fixer Sue in the form of, of all people, Sigmund Freud.

I actually enjoyed that one, although Freud as this sort of kindly avuncular healer was pretty damn hilarious. It's not that Moriarty is a hallucination, but he was involved with a dark secret from Sherlock's childhood and when Holmes started succumbing to his cocaine addiction he imagined Moriarty was part of this conspiracy against him.
There's a great sequence with a fight raging up and down a train near the end. They even made a movie based on it (but I've never seen it). The sequel, The West End Horror, wasn't nearly as good.
Fanfiction Friday on Topless Robot featured a pretty bad Sherlock Holmes fic. I can't remember the title, but it involved Holmes coming down with a nasty case of constipation which required Watson to administer enemas.
Meh, I think the books have really declined lately. Far too much filler, not enough Russell and Holmes interaction.
I know the OP wants bad fanfic, but I have to recommend Dust and Shadow
, in which Holmes faces off against Jack the Ripper. It is very well researched, Holmes and Watson are very in-character, and Watson is wonderfully competent.
Not a fic, but I've seen an incredibly strange play that gave Dr. Watson the Ron the Death Eater treatment, portraying him as actually wanting to kill Holmes for getting all the credit for their cases!
From a Certain Point of View, every story that Conan Doyle wrote after the death of Holmes and Moriarty at the Reichenbach Falls could be considered as bad Sherlock Holmes fanfiction. Bearing in mind that he only started writing Holmes stories because of what amounted to death threats from avid readers of the original tales in the Strand Magazine et al and had to come up with the mother and father of all retcons to bring him back.
Ah, believe us, we know. The only thing that doesn't count as fanfiction since Case-book (and Case-book is simply bad canon, by reputation and by the one story I read which went uncited by the haters) is the Horowitz book, and that's getting surprisingly little fanfare.
The continuity was wretched even before FINA, so I'll embrace it all as canon, thank-you.
Hail Martin Septim!Curse you for already posting the Topless Robot one! I was going to do that!

Ah well link anyway. There FFF section is so demented its great. Especially the comments!
You will never love a women as much as George Lucas hates his fans.

I'm a huge Sherlock Holmes fan and I've read some good fanfiction of it but I like to see some bad ones just out of curiosity how bad some of these can get. If anyone has links then that would be great.
