As demonstrated by the response to this post, stuff like this only irritates people without providing much material for cathartic sporkage. It makes fun of itself, really. Everyone's entitled to their own brand of madness as long as it's written tolerably well.

Star Trek: The Next Fornication. Neither worksafe not brainsafe.
Didn't we kind of put a moratorium on this kind of thing a while back? "Squick for squick's sake," that is. Looking at that URL, it's not like you were innocently browsing ff.net and came across some random Trek PWP.

And I had been looking at the TVTropes wiki's horrible fanfic page and Morbid Curiosity got me. shoots Morbid Curiosity

OH GOD MY VIRGIN EYES! claws at face
...and in my trust-me-I'm-not-a-doctor-type 'professional opinion', I don't think it'd make a good mission. The technicalities of the writing are passable enough, and the NSFB aspects just go on at a fairly regular (and excessive) level all the way through so it's not like you could go partway and expect to exorcise at the 'most appalling part'. There isn't an appalling part. It's all just ... flatlining appalling.
That said, if anyone does want to take it on, consider me at your service for beta-reading etc and Agent Trojie can be ganked if you want backup.
KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT!
I'd do it myself, but I don't have time. growls
Actually, it's not as bad as a story that thinks itself serious, but it's still offensive. I didn't get past the first eight paragraphs and I DO NOT WANT to know what else happens... unless I'm seeing it PPCd.
I second the "KILL IT!" I didn't get much farther than you, but... Sweet deities of many fictional universes. I'm not very familiar with Next Generation, but that is simply GAH. Even I can tell that nobody would be able to touch canon with a thirty-five-and-a-half-foot pole.
What's sad is that it's actually got good grammar, capitalization, punctuation, and spelling. Perhaps written as a parody? Although, I think it would be going a little far even for that. winces I'm going to go hide under my table now.
