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!

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I also have a sneaking fondness for fics in which genders get switched.

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

I bop to Wittgenstein. -- Nutty
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.
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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh, god, you've made me go to an all teenaged SG1 place. I ... it's very weird here.
I'm now curious about gender-switch Buffy fic.

ita, did you know there's an LJ community dedicated to that? Jack, Sam, and Daniel (or maybe just Jack and Sam) are all regressed to high school age. It's called, IIRC, mini_otp. Sigh.

I'm not getting much joy at the little_details site on this, so I'll ask here.
Somebody loses a lot of blood to a vampire, gets two pints back in a transfusion. A) would they have the entire missing amount transfused or just however many whole pints are missing? B) How long until they were feeling up to normal activity?

Damn you, Suela. I know I read a fic where they were all sequestered somewhere, and suddenly I want to read it again.
Gack. I think I'm gonna go look.
No teen Jaffa? No teen Fraiser?
Ow. My head.
