I'm guessing it's this conversation, Suela.
And I myself will be wearing pink taffeta as chenille would not go with my complexion.

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

anyone here like any badfic things? Buffyverse, or otherwise?
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).

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.

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.

I have to confess, I very rarely read crossovers, unless I know both fandoms very well, but I'm really drawn to writing them. *looks nervously at co-written novel-length HP/Discworld crossover with mpreg* *is concious of Friends/A View From The Bridge plot bunny raving in its hutch* *emotes too much*
My other badfic kink is plots which involve characters who are normally grown-up becoming much younger-- especially if they're more like 17 than 7. I wasn't really a fan of Stargate SG-1 until I discovered that teenage!Jack was canon.
