{{quote|''Of course, a lot of the [[Hate Dumb|people]] who wrote those fics figured [[Deconstruction Fic|"Deconstruct"]] meant "have your [[Marty Stu]] come in and [[Kill'Em All|shoot everybody]] while [["The Reason You Suck" Speech|insulting them.]]"''|''Binaroid: from [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/archived_discussion.php?s_t=Main.RevengeFic Revenge Fic Discussion]''}}

Simply put, [[Hate Fic]] is [[Revenge Fic]] on a series-wide scale. The author sets out to deliberately attack an entire show, either through simply mocking it and its characters or by the techniques of [[Deconstruction]].

Simply put, '''Hate Fic''' is [[Revenge Fic]] on a series-wide scale. The author sets out to deliberately attack an entire show, either through simply mocking it and its characters or by the techniques of [[Deconstruction]].

When done poorly, this often takes the form of a badly-done [[Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny]], which attempts to discredit a show based on unfavorable comparison with another rather than by any serious examination of the target series's actual flaws.

** These days, it's generally met with either admiration or derisive laughter.

** There are even a few fanfics written that are hate fics against hate fics. An example includes ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6362692/1/Kyrie_Eleison Kyrie Eleison]'', which from the first paragraph states it was written to deconstruct fics like ''[[Neon Exodus Evangelion]]''.

* ''Chunin Exam'' and ''Partially Kissed Hero'' by Perfect LionHeart (aka Jared "Skysaber" Ornstead) are both this in their core (for ''[[Naruto]]'' and ''[[Harry Potter]]'' respectively)... at least when they are not spewing his [[Evil Versus Evil|morality]] and [[Disproportionate Retribution|sense of "justice" and revenge]]. They tend to abound with [[Complete Monster~~|Complete Monsters~~]] (including the protagonists), [[Straw Loser~~|Straw Losers~~]], massive powerups, [[Plot Hole|plotholes]], [[Author Filibuster|long lectures of what sucks]] from the [[Canon]] and why, torturing/mutating the characters into copies of how they "should be" and loads and loads of cynicism. Fans are divided between those who believe the guy is a genius level writer (both fics have over 10,000 reviews) and the rest who believe he is pure evil and a deranged psychopath with very few touches of the actual canon.

* A fanfiction of the video game ''Clock Tower 2: The Struggle Within'' had all the characters slaughtered by the characters from ''Clock Tower 1''. ''The Struggle Within'' is probably the least popular of the ''Clock Tower'' games.

* In the aftermath of DC Comics' [[Crisis Crossover]], ''[[Final Crisis]]'', the internet saw a great torrent of hate fics for it, not to mention the run on Batman that [[Grant Morrison]] wrote. The most common criticisms for this is "I do not understand it, therefore I hate and mock it" which is actually [[Completely Missing the Point|a minor theme in the story]]. People don't seem to realize that this wasn't done by Grant "''Justice League'' and ''New X-Men''" Morrison, but rather was written by Grant "''[[Animal Man]]'' and ''[[Doom Patrol]]'' (or ''read this multiple times to fully appreciate/understand it''), telling a chapter in an epic story that acknowledges all that was written before" Morrison.

* ''[[Twilight (novel)|Twilight]]'' gets this treatment [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5954408/1/Killing_the_Cullens a lot], to the point where around half of the fics listed in the recs page are these.

* ''[[The Inheritance Cycle]]'', with ''[[The Storm Dragons]]'' among the most well-known examples.

* The ones for ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' are the stuff of legend, especially Nav's work. Highlights include one where the Senshi have taken over the world with mind control and are all (about 5 dozen of them) killed by [[Metroid|Samus Aran]], most without even being mentioned by name, and repeated recurrences of Tuxedo Mask being the only one to put up a fight or the Sailors just giving up before the battle even starts because he's not ~~there -- despite~~ these almost universally being based on the anime, where he doesn't even get any ''attacks'', and can just throw roses and give speeches.

* ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5433094/1/The_Doorstop The Doorstop]'' is one directed at another fanfic, ''[[The Open Door]]'', which, if you've heard of it, likely know it's a bit...divisive for readers. Iolaus, the author, read it, and decided he could tell the story better - so he did so, flipping the perspective away from New Chaos and to the more heroic factions, as well as numerous other changes. The result is a bit more even-handed than other examples on this page, although some reviews would claim otherwise.

* ''Anything'' written by Sidneylovesdaleks.

* The Federation from ''[[Star Trek]]'', especially after ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation|Star Trek the Next Generation]]'', is frequently portrayed as a [[Red Scare|semi-communist dystopia]], only averting the worst horrors of the stereotype due to their [[Applied Phlebotinum]]. The website StarDestroyer.net is famous for [[Flame War|advocating and supporting this view]], as seen in [http://stardestroyer.net/Empire/Essays/Trek-Marxism.html this essay].

** This [http://bbs.stardestroyer.net/viewtopic.php?t=75690 fanfic(?)] shows how the Federation could go from the ''TOS'' to ''TNG'' in a disturbingly realistic way.

* One day, an angry ''[[Voltes V]]'' fanboy decided to take ''[[Voltron]]'' and its characters, replace their canon heroic personalities with countless [[The War On Straw|straw attributes]], mostly the [[Demonization]] kind; get Voltes V and countless other [[Super Robot~~|Super Robots~~]] plus ''[[Space Sheriff Shaider]]'' to always hand the Voltron Team's asses to them; repeat the same formula for the next 84 chapters; and the internet got [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3234823/1/Voltes_V_versus_Voltron_The_Godaikin_Wars Voltes V Versus Voltron: The Godaikin Wars].

* ''Right Behind'' for ''[[Left Behind]]''.

* A strange case with ''[[Brewdening Love]]'' and its [[Brewdening Love Expanded Universe|Expanded Universe]]. The fanfic in question is a [[Troll Fic]] by a ''[[Twilight]]'' fan who hates [[Canon Sue|Bella]]. ''Twilight'' [[Hatedom|anti-fans]] took this fic and wrote [[Recursive Fanfiction|fanfic of it]], mostly featuring [[Portmanteau Couple Name|Bru]][[Fan-Preferred Couple|go]] [[Slash Fic|slash]]. So we have hatefics of a fanfic that hates on Bella and Jacob. ''Then'', Author Erin Locklea added [[Revenge Fic]] chapters that put internet critics into the story and had them killed, so the circle is now complete.

* A truly bizarre case with ''[[My Little Unicorn|My Little Unicorn: Magic is Believing]]'', a [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]] [[Mind Screw|fanfic-that-isn't-a-fanfic]] written by an author who makes no secret of his loathing for the show and its themes.

* [[Hate Dumb|Some person disappointed about]] [[Invader Zim]]'s [[Too Good to Last|cancelled]] [[Hate Dumb|decided that it was]] [[Insane Troll Logic|somehow]] all [[The Fairly Odd Parents]] fault and as a result, created [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6955222/1/Invader_Zims_Revenge this (dead) fic] right here. The real reason<ref> it was low ratings, [[Nightmare Fuel]], and [[Executive Meddling]] that killed Zim, not Timmy Turner, not to mention the fact that [[Fairly Oddparents]] debuted at almost the same time as the show, and the preemption could have for [[SpongeBob SquarePants|any other show]]</ref> [[WTH Player|was pointed out]], but seemed to have been ignored.
