They say that you have to do bad work before you can do good work. Not just one piece of bad work, but ''[[SturgeonsSturgeon's Law|tons]]'' of it, some so bad that it puts ''[[The Eye of Argon]]'' and ''[[Baby Geniuses]]'' to shame.
 
Whether it's [[Fanfic|fan fiction]] or original published work, some really bad stories have been written (this goes for other art forms too, sometimes just as badly). And even though you have to do bad work before you can do good work, the bad work still exists and the creator has to deal with it. Sometimes it's published to wither and die on its own; most of the time, it isn't.
