I was in the middle of prowling the Pit of Voles for stuff to rec on [livejournal.com profile] crack_van before the month is up and found this.

*facepalm* Ow. Just ... just ow.

EDIT: You know, if I hadn't already found one newer fic worth reccing, I wouldn't be there anymore. I forgot how many Mary Sues were in the X-Men Movieverse section. *whimper*

OVERWORKED EDITOR OF EDIT: Okay, that's officially the first time I've ever seen Marie/Logan written as Marion.

Heh. Yeah, I still remember when I first discovered FF.net and joyfully leapt in, hoping for good XMM fic. I'm still faintly traumatized by the experience.

If it makes you feel any better, HP, LotR, and Buffy *do* beat out XMM for Mary Sue saturation.

True, but I somehow feel personally offended by the XMM ones, since it's my main fandom these days. Urgh. I feel like smacking some of these girls upside the head with boat oars.

Uhhh

my head just exploded.

there are 12 "byes" in that "fic", do you realize this? there were barely any other words!! and the person who wrote it named children after Ashton Kutcher and Justin Timblerlake.

The pain! the pain!

I know. All they do is say "Goodbye" and explode.

Be grateful, however, that I didn't link the one where Hank was explaining something and it seemed like every single bloody team member walked by with one question or remark apiece. *shudders*

Aagh! I can't believe I read that. That's 2 minutes of my life I'm never gonna get back!

Gah. I was writing better X-Men fanfic when I was 11. Geesh.

Why did she even bother writing that?

A/N I just have to say one thing in this Rogue can touch and Jean is alive and ‘mean telepathic conversation “means conversation and I am not going to write Kurt’s accent so just pretend k

Oh dude, she lost me at that. "I'm not gonna care about any characterization at all, mmmk?"

Heh. Man, I've seen some fic on my favorite lists, but FF.Net has got them beat. Which is weird, because it has that whole organized feedback system so if you suck, people tell you so, unlike a list where most people just won't bother emailing you.

Dude, you so owe me some Excedrin. That was god-effing-awful.

Oh my... is that serious? I mean... "And then Raven fired over three hundred missles and ten hit the jet and there were no survivors" or whatever the hell that ending was...

And...

I can't even come up with anymore words... I'm just...

I'm stunned.

And frightened...

Egad, that was terrible.
And did anyone read the comments people left on ff.net? It was all "good job, write more chapters." Everyone seems afraid to USE the well-organized comment system. I'm all for being nice, but that girl could use some constructive criticism. Or maybe she's just hopeless . . .

...and did you look at the reviews?

...and may I add that few bad-fic-isms annoy me so much as the use of the word(?) "chappie" as a... nickname? for "chapter." I mean, really. It's not cute. It's just stupid.

I suffered to the point where she said Rogue and Bobby had a child... then I ran away. Yeah... ew!

Christ in a crunchy taco shell, OW.

There are some non-horrible fics on FFnet, but most of it is tripe of the purest ray serene. This is a particularly fine example.
