When the writer has a chip on his shoulder for whatever reason, and inflicts misery on a character perceived to deserve it. Often occurs when the character's role is incidental and the writer really just has a problem with the distinct personality type, or if the character is [[Die for Our Ship|in the way of the writer's pairing of choice]]. Another name for it is Anti Fic, although this term implies a degree of clever and biting satire. This type of fic is more commonly referred to as Bashing Fic.
In some circles (such as the now-defunct Anime Fan Fiction Mailing List), a '''Revenge Fic''' can also be about [[Rage Against the Author|characters stepping out of the fictional realm to inflict some kind of revenge on the fanfiction author for the things he or she made them do]]. This can be a variety of [[Meta Fic]], and somewhat impinges on and overlaps with the conceit of [[Animated Actors]].
If this is done by the original author, it might be [[Derailing Love Interests]] or a form of [[Creator Backlash]]. Can be closely allied to [[Die for Our Ship]] or [[Oh Crap, There Are Fanfics of Us]].
Line 36 ⟶ 37:
== Film ==
* The ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' movies triggered a series of fanfics portraying Arwen Evenstar as a vindictive, vicious, shrieking harpy who seduced Aragorn so she could become Queen of Gondor. This is generally perceived as an expression of resentment over Arwen's having "stolen" Aragorn from his true love Éowyn, his ''real'' true love [[Ho Yay|Legolas]], or his '''real''' real true love, [[Mary Sue|Marisuthiel]].
** And then there were the ones written by the people who were upset about her stealing Glorfindel's role from the books.
* The many ways that [[The Scrappy|Jar Jar Binks]] dies and/or is tortured horribly in many ''[[Star Wars]]'' [[fanfic]]s as a form of revenge for being, well, Jar Jar.
Line 56 ⟶ 57:
* ''[[Smallville]]'''s Lana Lang had this. A lot.
* Carly Shay on ''[[iCarly]]'', with her being subject to [[Designated Protagonist Syndrome]] and [[Die for Our Ship]] often becomes the enemy of writers who use her as the 'enemy' in a [[Possession Sue]] fic. Sam is a stand in for the writer, Carly becomes the [[Alpha Bitch]] who got the guy the writer wanted. Funnily enough, [[Miranda Cosgrove]] who plays Carly Shay portrayed the young Lana Lang in ''[[Smallville]]''.
* The late 80's/early 90's cast of ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'' put together [https://web.archive.org/web/20120420003829/http://www.hulu.com/watch/4267/saturday-night-live-its-a-wonderful-life-lost-ending a nice little number] about mean old Mr. Potter from ''[[It's a Wonderful Life|Its a Wonderful Life]]''.
* Pick a crime show with [[UST]]. ''Any'' crime show. Now find someone who interferes with the aforementioned UST. There's fanfiction featuring them being tortured in some sadistic fashion if you look in the right places.
* [[Damsel Scrappy|Kate]] from ''[[Robin Hood (TV series)|Robin Hood]]'' has earned [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5450226/1/How_We_Killed_Kate at least one] of these.
Line 81 ⟶ 82:
* One ''King of the Hill'' fanfic by Joey Joe Joe Jr. Shabadu had Peggy, Lucky and John Redcorn going OOC to torture Hank because of his narrow urethra.
* The ''[[The Legend of Korra|Legend of Korra]]'' flash-fic ''[http://avatar-dacia.tumblr.com/post/95885830599/you-killed-me You Killed Me]'' is an ''unabashed'' one against [[Arc Villain|Zaheer]]. (Whether or not [[Asshole Victim|villains have it coming]] is likely a separate discussion.)
* The ''[[Celebrity Deathmatch]]'' fan-fic, ''[
