Are we sure these people aren't actually writing really good stories, then running them through some sort of Crap Translator somewhere and posting them just for kicks? I prefer to believe that rather than believe anyone would actually think "I bet other people would like to read this!" Or maybe it's results from someone using the Infinite Monkey Theorum...
Seriously, I wrote better than that when I was four...and I couldn't really write, I could just draw letters.
"Maybe the problem just went away...maybe it was the magical sniper fairy that comes and gives silenced hollow point rounds to people who don't eat their vegetables."
OUCH! I've read some bad fanfic in my time. Hell I've *written* some bad fanfic in my time (back when I was about 8 or 9) but that is awful. I'm about to launch into "My Immortal" to see if it gets any worse. If I don't come back I'll be curled in the corner waiting for the men in white suits to take me away.
Oh my god. I hover between despair of the human race and, as a Tolkien purist, wanting to dig the author's eyeballs out of their skull with a rusty knife. This is a horrible Mary Sue, too. O.o
Believe me, this is not a child. There are teenagers out there who have little or no spelling skills, check fanfiction.net if you don't believe me.
People who don't like cats were probably mice in an earlier life. My DeviantArt.
My DD, who isn't the greatest speller out there, pointed out all the misspelled words in "My Immortal". When I read a bad fanfic I just want to go back, correct everything - if possible, and beat the author over the head with it until they scream 'Uncle'.
Figers are vicious I tell ya. They crawl up your leg and steal your belly button lint.
