Buffistas

Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

What's the one A/S story you'd rec to somebody to say "not romantic, well-written, convincing"?

Huh. Dunno. Some of the ones I like:

Big Exit, by amerella. Also Dig My Earth.

Manus, by Kita.

Quiet Familiars, by Violet.

Miles To Go, by Rachel Anton.

Back in Your Bed, by Jennifer-Oksana.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Okay, so SailAweigh posted a pic of JM in a tux that was posted on the domain colddeadseed, which made me google the phrase, which made me land on an old thread titled Cold Dead Seed and Other Attrocities [sic] : Badfic on another forum.

People in that thread are admitting to badfic Buffyverse things they like, like Spike purring, or pregnant Buffy ...

So I wondered ... anyone here like any badfic things? Buffyverse, or otherwise?

The only thing that comes right to mind is Nikitaverse fic that's mean to Nikita. But the flip side of those fics seemed to be unreasoning Michael adulation, and I couldn't quite get past that.

I'm scared to think of others.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

I'm guessing it's this conversation, Suela.

I have a not-so-secret liking for the occassional mpreg, which frequently leads me to read badfic. I will also keep reading very bad fic if it happens to be my Pairing Kink Of The Moment (patent pending).

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

nods in agreement

I do the exact same thing. I'm also drawn to crossovers, which aren't really a badfic cliche as far as I know, but they do tend to spawn a lot of craptacular fic.

Always Anti-fascist!

Obviously, Anne and I are one here.

Thrive to spite them

I like badfic in general and if someone reads something that's "omigod! my eyes!" I want to read it. Unless it's just spelling and grammer issues,I want really out there plot.

This. I can't read bad spelling and grammar because it's too much work and I can't lose myself in the story, but unless things are just completely wacked out there aren't many badfic tropes that turn me off. Torture, daddykink, and non-con turn me off, but a well-done mpreg won't do it.

Look, jargon!

I also have a sneaking fondness for fics in which genders get switched.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I like fics where the boys have to wear eyeliner...
