I need a badfic fix

matrixrefugeeI know, that sounds wierd. Since it's *THAT* time of the month, I need to read some so-bad-they're-funny fics and realize that there are more painful things than... oh, nevermind. I gave up on bad "Supernatural" fanfic: Wincest? Puh-LEEZE! Maybe it's just because of my moral standards or because of the abuse my mother went through, but I can't help feeling that anyone who thinks that sort of stuff is cool needs an incredible amount of therapy.
And don't get me started on all the "long lost Winchester sister/brother" stories (usually sister, but I have seen a handful of "long lost brother" stories. Make that a very small handful.). I swear Eric Kripke has that recap of the pilot episode at the beginning of every episode just to taunt the Sue/Stu-thors. Okay, not to say that there *might* not be another sibling out there: who knows but John Winchester might not have fathered a child before he met Mary, or he might have had an affair with some woman during his wanderings. The problem is the quality of writing. I'm a sincere believer that almost anything can be possible in writing as long as the author gives the idea sufficient thought and they have a good grasp of their craft, but believe me, some of the stuff that the fankiddies toss onto the SPN section on ff.n is so toxicly bad at times, I swear the Winchester Brothers could get rid of The Demon, just by having him/it read that gack.
And so far, the "A.I." fandom has been relatively free of badfic-age, thank heavens.
I'm also of a mind to create a sockpuppet account under the name "Morraeon" (the name of Sieges's shiny new dark side) and use it specifically to target the anNOYing, badly-written vampire/elf/telekinetic/pyrokinetic Mary Sues in the "Matrix" section. Morraeon, like her "daddy" Marrith (WGAnubis's excellent creation), eats Exilic programs and things like it for lunch, and it's all I can do to keep from posting reviews like, "Hey, can I eat yer little Mary Sue? She sounds tasty." Morrae likes to do that in-game: if some problematic being turns up, her usual first response is always, "Hey, Pops, can I eat him?" To which Anubis/Marrith most often replies, "No, he's human." (So far the only exception was the night MadHattah almost screwed up a Live Event; that's the only time the reply was: "Maybe.")
