Let's play a game: "It Could Be Worse". by
on 2008-09-13 22:15:00 UTC
Reply
I was reading through the archives of Weepingcock on LJ and someone mentioned a thread at the GodAwful FanFiction Board called "It Could Be Worse", where people posted ideas for terrifyingly bad fanfic which (thankfully) hadn't been used yet.
I propose that we play a variation of this. We come up with ideas for godawful badfic premises/descriptions/OC names/Sue origin stories/pairings/whatever that we haven't seen. Others then either try to find a fic involving that concept, or write a short ficlet involving it. If they choose to write one, it could either be parody badfic, or an attempt to make the concept work.
Anyone want to play? -

A scary thought: OFU badfic. by
on 2008-09-14 23:24:00 UTC
Reply
Plat, OA and I were having an ideas session for OFUTRC the other day, and somehow we got onto the subject of OFU badfic. Mostly encouraged by Plat, the first idea we came up with was, of all things, Misslash. Yep. Miss Cass/Miss Angel.
I think there is a section on Fanficland for OFUs. What makes the idea of OFU staffslash a little worrying is that pairings that would ordinarily have been separated by time and distance suddenly become plausible. Turin/Boromir, anyone? -
Miss Angel finds the idea of Misslash terrifying. by

Oozaru Angel, on the other hand, came up with the name and finds it hilarious. Bwahaha. Anyone who writes it, badfic or no, gets a cookie.

In fact, I'm willing to join OA's challenge. Anyone who writes Misslash gets a big box of cookies. And a sushi croissant, if they like. -

now a bit tempted. Although, what kind of cookies are we talking about?
and can we have some more details on the misses? so we can get the slash plausible? -
Miss Angel by

Well, in private Miss Angel is fairly friendly and easily amused. She's incredibly sadistic and rather likes singing, occasionally making up her own little (terrible) ditties when she's in a good mood (see chapter 4, coming to an LJ near you soon). Miss Cass creeps her out sometimes. In front of the students, Miss Angel is a total bitch. Ninja drill sergeant. She's 17-going-on-18 years old.

Miss Cass is actually quite fond of her colleague, and avoids creeping her out as much as possible. (It's not always possible to avoid looking creepy if the light reflects off your glasses when you smile just right.) She's not quite as sadistic, but does derive much entertainment from students suffering, although she pretends to be all sweetness and light to them. She's at the young end of 20.

give me a while to work on it. will be slow. will try to make it decent. unless of course you give permission for me to write it as true badslash, with all the anatomically impossiblities that entails, and such. there is an idea for femslash that i want to try out for a badfic.

So permission to do the badslash, and the goodfic then? coolness....
Although, don;t you want to know what hte idea i have is? Landburm helped me think of the idea, when we were discussing slashing her two agents. Let's just say it invovles incorrect anatomy. very incorrect inamatoy, or rather, biological processes that are impossible. -

And as for details of the Misses, in private Miss Cass is fairly easy-going and quite cheerful, unless things aren't going too well, in which case she is likely to be rather stressed and a bit short with everyone.
If there's any other details on her you want, ask me directly, and I think you'll need to speak to Oozaru about Miss Angel. -

Miss Cam/AW is one thought that has plagued me ever since I read that AW had Miss Cam put down as his lust object.

Chronicles of Narnia
Caspian/OC. He's too good for Mary Sue. And Agent Eledhwen shall get angry.
More Emo!Caspian. With all the Emo!Caspian fics already out there, I think it's enough for me to slit my own wrists.
More Pregnant!Susan. That's honestly starting to get cliche.
LotR
The name Princess Sparklysmarklymuffinpoo. Even as a cutesy nickname.
The amazing one week walk from Imladris to Mordor. The whole "traveling distances take a very short time" thing is more for Narnia than Middle-earth.
OFUM and other OFUs
A student eviller than Lord Elrond. Not Happening.
A student with mithrilver eyes. (mithril/silver)
A student who manages to ensnare Legolas successfully
A not-so-evil OFU.
There's more...but gotta go... -

I think they're cute, if repetative. If written well, of course; things well-written don't feel cliche even if they're all basically the same. Then again, I find Susan/Caspian adorable, so that rather influences my judgement.

The repetativeness gets to my head. And it's kind of...not expected. Susan is what, sixteen or so? (can't remember real age feels stupid) And although she's considered an adult in Narnia, I don't think she's one to shag anyone, even Caspian (I'm also a Casue fan, but that doesn't affect much of this) before marriage.
And maybe it's just me and the whole "teenage sexuality" thing. Me ol' science teacher had it drilled into my head. -
Well, the ones that I like take place a few years later by

It's not healthy, especially since we've got pretty hight teen pregnancy and STD rates nowadays. And lots of teenyboppers read these fics. Who knows if their first sexual encounter could be fueled by PregnantAndSeperatedFromTheSpermDonorCaspian!Susan fics? -
