I'm sure we've all seen badfics before. You know what I'm talking about: the mary-sue fics, the badly written fics that are impossible to read due to spelling and grammar errors, and the fics that have characters so OOC that we might as well be reading about plain OC's! Since I did not want to corrupt the 'Fanfiction' section with their presence, and since this is going to be mulitfandom, I put this here, so that we may all rant about fics that make us want to spork our eyes out.
No names or titles please, just reactions.

I don't have any badfics for Prince of Tennis since by now I've learned to only read stuff people I trust to have good taste have recced to me. Instead let me tell you about a Yugioh one from long ago.
The author of this badfic liked the Yami/Yugi pairing, but had decided that she wasn't going to write yaoi this once....so she turned Yugi into a hermaphrodite.
Even I went WTF and this was back when I was fifteen and had just found fanfiction.net Basically everyone with a millennium item became hermaphrodites in her fic, so she could say she wasn't writing yaoi.
Tea, for some reason, freaked out and yelled that she didn't want to be friends with Yugi anymore once she found about him being a hermaphrodite. See the author really didn't like Tea, so she used this as an excuse to make everyone gang up on Tea, even though Tea doing something like that would be very OOC. Needless to say, Tea then started acting like a complete bitch toward everyone in the story, and basically become completely ooc because the author didn't want her in the story.
One of the authors' other stories had Tea with a yami of her own acting as the bad guy who wants to break up Yugi and Yami and the another badfic has her inserting herself into the story using her pen name.
