'''''Important Note''''': Merely being offensive in its subject matter is not enough to justify a work as [[So Bad It's Horrible]]. Hard as it is to imagine at times, [[Rule 34|there is a market for all types of deviancy]] (no matter how small a niche it is). It has to ''fail to appeal even to that niche'' to qualify as this. Any descriptions that fail to imply anything but offensiveness will be deleted.
* '''[http://www.commuterbarnacle.com/gonterman/RANGERS.TXT The Rangers Of NIMH].''' [[MST|MSTed]] [https://web.archive.org/web/20110526061641/http://linkchecker.stacken.kth.se/mst3k/rangers.txt here.] (crossover)
** Fandom: a ''[[Rescue Rangers]]/[[The Secret of NIMH]]'' (film version) [[Crossover]], more or less. [[The Rescuers]], [[Pinky and The Brain]], and [[Gargoyles]] (or at least Xanatos) are also in there.
** Pairing: Gadget/Johnathan Brisby, a [[Marty Stu]]
** Synopsis: The Rescue Rangers investigate some break-ins at the local hospital, determining that Nimnul has stolen files which are assumed to involve rats. Justin is in the city sewer where the rats of NIMH have moved, sitting in a chair and mulling over their failure. Johnathan Brisby, a thinly-veiled self-insert/mouse wearing a ruby locket who is more banal than he should be, is introduced and becomes the go-between between the two groups - though he's reluctant when he tells the rangers he's descended from Jonathon Brisby of NIMH. He and Gadget are attracted to each other immediately, and Gadget accidentally activates the locket by touching it. (Nothing happens, and
** Comments: Regarded by many as the world's worst fanfic (if just on the level of sheer Did Not Do The Proofreading). The first sentence reads, [[Rouge Angles of Satin|"The Ranger's where flowing a leaded of break-ins."]] It gets worse. An [[Old Shame]] of Gonterman's (although everything he creates becomes [[Old Shame]] sooner or later).
*** "Johnathan Brisby" ended up becoming [[David Gonterman]]'s "mascot". He used the character in an "original" series called ''Fauna Force,'' a <s>thinly-veiled</s> explicit ripoff of Archie's ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' written with the intent to "steal their audience." Gonterman recently decided to revive the character for some "original fiction"... ignoring that the character is ''inherently'' unoriginal (right down to the name).
Line 11:
*** The sad part is that the idea is not bad. The existence of NIMH in the ''Rescue Rangers'' [[The Verse|universe]], and Gadget being one of their super-smart mice or an offspring thereof, would answer some questions about the series. The problem is that neither Gonterman nor his cowriter can write their way out of a paper bag here, and they never try to follow up on these possible plot points.
* '''[https://web.archive.org/web/20141214042234/http://www.svamcentral.org/ewic/mstings/Ranma-Fic1.txt A Ranma 1/2 Fanfic]''' ([[Character Derailment]], Implied High-Octane [[Squick]], rape)
** Fandom: ''[[Ranma ½
** Pairings: Ranma/Kuno, Ryoga/Akane, Ranma/Akane (eventually), ''Genma/Cologne''
** Synopsis: While fighting Kuno, Ranma gets splashed; then she is overpowered by Kuno, knocked out, and raped. (Kuno keeps her around until she awakens and tells her, "While we were sleeping, I made love to you.") And, you guessed it, female Ranma ends up pregnant with Kuno's child. Ryoga, the entire Tendo family, and Ranma's ''father'' show their compassion for her situation by turning [[Jerkass]], disowning her, and kicking her out. Ranma obviously can't change back to a guy in her current condition. Then Cologne offers a way to, umm, remedy the situation....
Line 26:
* '''[http://rkwong.tripod.com/Kor-revenge.txt Revenge Road]''' (Character death, [[Die for Our Ship]], [[Revenge Fic]])
** Fandom: ''[[Kimagure Orange Road]]''
** Pairings: Kyosuke/Madoka, unrequited Hikaru/Kyosuke
** Synopsis: [[Cloudcuckoolander|Hikaru]], upset by [[Ordinary High School Student|Kyosuke]] choosing [[Broken Bird|Madoka]] over her, shows up at the house where they're staying, [[Kick the Dog|shoots Madoka dead and tortures Kyosuke to death.]]
** Comments: Purely vindictive [[Revenge Fic]] without much depth besides giving gruesome deaths to the canon couple; it's hard to tell whether the author wrote this as a protest against the Kyosuke/Madoka ship, hates Hikaru or both. Unfortunately, in addition to its disturbing brutality perpetrated against Kyosuke, it lacks the kind of poor spelling and grammar and other [[Narm]] factors that would make it [[So Bad It's Good]] by taking some of the edge off the more disturbing parts of it and provide (unintentional) humor in the process.
* '''[[
** Fandom: ''[[Pokémon]]''
** Pairings: Male trainer/Gardevoir, male trainer/Nurse Joy/Nurse Joy's dad, Misty/Staryu (implied)
** Synopsis: David, a male trainer, is stuck in the middle of nowhere with his Gardevoir. He's incredibly horny, and so he brutally rapes her, thoroughly breaking her both physically and mentally in the process. Months later, he brings her into a Pokemon center and ends up raping the nurse. Her dad walks in and the they have an incredibly violent threesome that ends in all three of them bleeding to death. Misty reads the story and despairs, but gets horny, looking to her Staryu.
Line 39:
* '''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4704418/1/Robin_Girl Robin Girl]''' (Teen pregnancy, [[Canon Defilement]])
** Fandom: ''[[Batman]]''
** Pairing: Batman/Girl Robin
** Synopsis: Batman and a female Robin fight some random thugs and Boss Maroni. Three months later, Robin is pregnant with Batman's child. Batman tells her to have an abortion, but she refuses. She wants to raise their son as "Bat-boy."
Line 50:
** Synopsis: Usagi gets launched across the Pacific by one of Rita and Lord Zedd's monsters. She's caught in St. Louis by "Davey Crockett", who proceeds to offer her a home for the time. They discover a diabolical team-up of Rita, Zedd, Queen Beryl, [[VR Troopers|Zitkor]], and presumably tons more, requiring them to assemble many characters, powers, and other miscellaneous crap that [[David Gonterman]] and buddy made up as he went along in an attempt to fight the villainous team. A very confusing ~32,000 words of [[Dead Fic]], to be certain.
** Comments: One of the most infamous badfics of all time. The story has a horrible, inconsistent structure (although it has surprisingly decent spelling) and a total lack of continuity. Not only do things quickly get contradicted, but new elements just pop up out of nowhere with the expectation that the audience will understand. And it is ''dull''.
*** The story starts out innocuously (if self-indulgent), but it enters this territory with scenes that are inaccessible because the dialogue isn't credited. These look worse compared to the following scenes with the villains, which are in [[Script Fic|script format]]. (The work has two authors; they may have done their separate parts without care for consistency.) Then the story starts crossing over with ''everything''. Then Gonterman (maybe also the co-author, but he's a relative unknown) starts writing autobiographically, which is the closest to "[[Character Development]]" that Davey gets. Then he drops the [[Drama Bomb]] that Usagi is Davey's brother ''via'' a sickeningly degrading artificial insemination and abortion plotline that makes little sense. Not only does this make the implied sex scene (itself ten levels of [[Squick]], since Davey was in fox form then) incest, but also, he and Usagi still have a subdued relationship with each other after this realization. But they hadn't forgotten that drama bomb: they '''constantly [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshade]] it and how wrong it is'''. Not exactly respectful to the [[Sailor Moon]] fandom. They also [[Character Derailment|derail everyone's character]]: they turn Usagi into a weak, worthless [[Damsel in Distress]], making canon first-season Usagi look like [[Alien|Ellen fucking Ripley]]
**** Davey Crockett deserves his own special mention. He's an insanely overpowered [[God Mode Sue]] with [[New Powers as the Plot Demands]] built into his robotic arm and access to pretty much every shiny toy that Gonterman wishes he had. He defies every law of physics possible. He shoots a throne on the moon from Earth with a sawed-off shotgun; astrophysicists had best not read this story lest their brains explode. He is a "freelance Power Ranger" that turns into an anthropomorphic fox when he morphs for no reason but [[Author Appeal]]. His [[Backstory]] makes no sense whatsoever and contradicts itself in every way possible (and must involve [[Time Travel]] at some stage). He has nothing likable about him whatsoever. He's one of the worst [[Original Character|Original Characters]] ever written. His friend Ed (who, one presumes, is the [[Author Avatar]] of the other writer) isn't much more balanced, but he seems more tolerable because he has comparatively little screentime.
**** Gonterman (the only person to plug the story positively) suffered ''massive'' backlash against this story. His [[Author Avatar]] kills Zoisite in a horrifically over-the-top '''hateful''' way directed against homosexuality. Then he gives [[Character Filibuster|a speech]] about the horrors that homosexuals have inflicted upon his life that makes the Sailor Senshi cry. (Guess nobody told him that the Japanese ''Sailor Moon'' is pro-gay and includes two openly homosexual Sailor Senshi.) He's still banned for life from practically every aspect of the ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' fandom, and mentioning his story within the community causes [[Internet Backdraft]]. Gonterman now considers this story an [[Old Shame]].
* '''[
** Fandom: ''[[Sailor Moon]]''
** Pairing(s): Usagi/Mamoru
Line 62:
* '''[http://anime.adultfanfiction.net/story.php?no=544187359 Shinji's Nightmare Cataclysm]''' (explicit sex, crossover, ''pedophilia'')
** Fandom: ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' crossed with ''[[Warhammer 40,000]]''
** Pairings: Yes, unfortunately
** Synopsis: We tried. We really, honestly tried. But the few who have sat around long enough to give an accurate summary have no doubt since gored out their eyes and couldn't type it down coherently.
Line 81:
*** Caveat: For better or worse, SONIC_FAN realizes this around the sixth chapter and cranks up the [[Refuge in Audacity]] and [[Planet Eris|weirdness of the plot]] while also cleaning up the grammar to make it more readable but still horrible. The later fanfics [[Growing the Beard|much more successfully]] pull off the [[So Bad It's Good]], with the seventh nearly going into [[So Cool Its Awesome]] Territory.
* '''[https://web.archive.org/web/20130925003433/http://www.tuxedojack.com/godawful/asadae.htm "A sorceror, A demon, and Emeralds."]''' [[MST|MSTing]] can be found [https://web.archive.org/web/20141214042233/http://www.svamcentral.org/ewic/ms-vig.html here], if you'd prefer to leaven the horror with, uh, wrestling jokes. Or [https://web.archive.org/web/20130118040443/http://www.projectafterforums.com/index.php?s=d437de65e04b420e9a5aeb0244a7a228=1407 here] -- though this one's kind of amateur. (rape, slash)
** Fandom: ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog]]''
** Pairings: rape: evil Sonic/practically everyone
Line 98:
*** It moves at the rate of molasses. It takes an hour to get to the fourth chapter. It takes quite a while to get to the end of the first chapter.
*** The author warns in the author's notes for the first chapter that the story is badly written, but states that [[Blatant Lies|the characters are as in-character as the plot will allow]].
*'''[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11809324/1/Spyro-dragon-and-human Spyro dragon and human]''' (Absolutely awful grammar, child torture, [[Random Events Plot]]) ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dz2X91Yp2e4 link] to an MST)
** Fandom: ''[[Spyro]]
** Synopsis: A boy gets turned into Spyro and gets tortured by another dragon.
** Comments: Easily the worst fic ever featured on Steel Donut Collective. The grammar is so bad, that it's almost impossible to differentiate between characters talking, characters thinking, descriptions and actions.
* '''[http://www.daltonator.net/fanfics/stories/misc/sdr.txt Star Destroyers Rampant]''' (Blatant ''Star Wars'' fanboyism, crossover, [[Beige Prose]])
Line 121 ⟶ 126:
*** The same author also brought us [[Parental Incest|Leia/Jaina femmeslash]] and [[Squick|Wookiee sex]] in her other works.

[[Our Lawyers Advised This Trope|All The Tropes will not be held responsible]] for brain damage if you read this unsporked. (Timeline-fail, [[Character Derailment]], completely ignoring a critical point in [[Canon]] plot, explicit rape, [[Slash Fic]] involving a ''[[Disney]] character'', BESTIALITY INVOLVING '''[[The Lion King|SIMBA]]'''. Not Safe For Humanity.)
** Fandom: ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]''.
** Pairings: '''[[High Octane Nightmare Fuel|Simba/Riku]]''' with a side helping of Riku/Sora.
** Synopsis: Riku, travelling with King Mickey, decides to look for Sora in the Pride Lands, where he meets Simba. Simba, who hasn't been getting any since Nala is pregnant, spontaneously rapes Riku.
Line 139 ⟶ 144:
* '''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5055715/1/Total_Drama_Torture Total Drama Torture]''', by [http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1891678/LordryuTJ LordryuTJ] ([[Gorn]], [[Out of Character]], <s>explicit</s> rape, sexual assault, character death, gratuitous character resurrection, [[Moral Event Horizon]] crossing, [[Crossover]]. sweet god in heaven '''Crossover'''.)

** Fandom: ''[[Total Drama Island]]'' ([[Hatedom]]), crossing over with ''[[Family Guy]]'', ''[[South Park]]'', and [[Halo]].
** Pairings: Duncan/Courtney, Duncan/Lindsay (one sided rape), Duncan/Heather (again, in a one sided rape), and [[Overly Long Gag|Duncan/Bridgette (again, one sided rape)]], with no warning. [[Beta Couple|Slight]] Izzy/Owen, Trent/Gwen.
