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]].
* '''[http://www.daltonator.net/fanfics/stories/misc/sdr.txt Star Destroyers Rampant]''' (Blatant ''Star Wars'' fanboyism, crossover, [[Beige Prose]])
** Fandom: ''[[Star Wars]]'', ''[[Star Trek]]'' (sort of)
** Pairings: None, unless you count the [[Cargo Ship]] between the Imperial officers and their turbolasers.
** Synopsis: A Star Destroyer is transported to the Milky Way galaxy, where it accidentally destroys the USS ''Enterprise'' and then starts single-handedly conquering the United Federation of Planets.
** Comments: The publication of official weapons specs for Imperial starships in the early 2000s ''Star Wars Incredible Cross-Sections'' books resulted in a lot of fanfics that were thinly-veiled excuses for ''Star Wars'' fans to depict the Empire massacring the various ''Star Trek'' races, but this one stands out for being perhaps the most fanboyish and the most ineptly executed.
*** For one thing, there's no opportunity to see the characters from the two different franchises interact. The ''Star Wars'' side is represented only by some paper-thin OCs, and while the cast of ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation]]'' do show up, they all die near the start of the story (barring only La Forge, who is captured, taken away for interrogation and then never mentioned again).
*** But by far the biggest failing of the story is the battle scenes. Even if you're the type of person who would enjoy seeing ''Star Trek'' characters get slaughtered en masse, the battles aren't interesting in the slightest, and are depicted as long [[Wall of Text|walls of text]] describing the precise amount of energy being exchanged by each side. The entire story essentially amounts to just the Empire showing up, obliterating any Federation vessels that dare to oppose them, repeated a few times until the author apparently got bored and gave up.
* '''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5786891/1/A_Story_of_Our_Lives A Story of Our Lives]''' ('''Major''' [[Character Derailment]], sexual situations, wholesale plagarism of in-game dialogue)
