General

 * Many fanfics out there have female characters being brutally raped, abused and tortured and that this is treated as being perfectly normal, loving behavior in a relationship. Most Fanfic Writers Are Girls. Think about it.
 * And there's a high percentage of slash fics that have guys being raped, broken and abused. This is seen as either hot or revenge for "not fearing rape in real life."
 * Stalking Is Love and even Victim Falls For Rapist are certainly present in professional fiction, but they are hardly endemic, especially more recently. Fanfiction features it to the point where it is considered unusual for a piece of fiction with a major fanfiction community to not possess big steaming piles of it.
 * According to various fandom-related comms, and confirmed by academic analysis (Camille Bacon-Smith's Enterprising Women being one of the first to spot the trend), a surprising percentage of fanfic authors who write rape do it because they've been raped themselves, and either it helps them get through the trauma, or they have a tendency to put personal experiences into their writing, or some other linking factor. So all decent rape fics, and at least some of the badly-done rape fics as well, carry a significant chance it happened to the author. Happy browsing...
 * And try making a negative review of one of those fics with this information in mind.
 * In the Deviant ART fanfic "Good Landing",  It's creepy enough to think about how they would have reacted to that, but at least   One of the other astronauts (the sorta-protagonist) who's watching mentions how freaked out he was the first time he landed the shuttle. It turns out that he's
 * Did Not Do the Research. had flown the  once already, before his last mission.
 * Yes, as the pilot. But the pilot doesn't land the shuttle, the commander does.
 * This Harry Potter fic has a girl frozen at ten by her grandmother. The fridge horror is named a few chapters in when it's mentioned she looks like her grandmother. Her possibly insane grandmother who was also dying. . You gotta wonder why she chose to keep a child at the age she looks most like her....
 * In Eye of the Fox: Kira outright confirms that if it wasn't for Rad/Naruto, he would have gone completely insane. And given that he  once has to wonder just what Kira is really capable of doing if he lost the one anchor he still has in his life...
 * Pattycakes: Fluttershy, who has been derailed into an obsessed lunatic with a taste for mind raping other ponies into a temporary or permanent infantile state, is working on the drug she uses to do this, and comments that she needed to thank Zecora and Twilight for helping her create it - oh wait, she already has. Rainbow Dash, her first victim, wanders in and asks if this means she'll be seeing "a new brudder or sister". It takes a few seconds and then it clicks. Fluttershy in this story sees destroying other ponies' minds as an act of kindness, since they're so happy when they think they're foals. Dash has clearly seen this happen multiple times before, despite her mind being chemically wedged at a stage where object permanence is still kind of tenuous. How did Fluttershy "thank" Twilight and Zecora?!
 * The Little Experiment is a Spongebob SquarePants fanfic about Spongebob and Sandy making a baby. (Right.) There is a subplot about Squidward about to have a baby with his new wife, Crescendoll. Ok, not so bad. The Fridge Horror settles in when you realize that
 * Ultimate Sleepwalker: The New Dreams had a case of the author suffering a case of Fridge Horror when he reread the dialogue of the villainous Psyko. Given that Psyko is a Complete Monster whose powers centre around Mind Rape, the author was more than a little unnerved to see how much Foe Yay made it into Psyko's conversations with his Arch Enemy Sleepwalker.
