well written, really horrible story. ugh. That was painful. I'm not sure why you'd call it badfic, though, really. Can you 'splain?
Because there are people who write this sort of stuff seriously, as a whole sort of genre, and I can't take it as goodfic at all. It's exploitation fic, plain and simple. There's no point, no insight, just ick.
Ewwwwwwwww. Well written, as Deena pointed out, but still Ewwwwwwww.

"Ick" about sums it up.
Plei, I love you. You are a wonderful, talented writer.
Don't ever do that again.
Please.
I'll probably never post it again, though I will probably write such stuff to get s.a. off her ass and writing when she's told me to do so.
Maybe because it's you, but I liked bits of it, the red anger, the mention of the books, the desire for more magic, the unwillingness to forgive Buffy. Yeah, it's exploitation, and I really hated it with a sick to my stomach nausea type hatred, but there are bits that are worthwhile. I think that's the you and the well-written part.
edit: I said too much, didn't I? I think you should write and post anything you want to write and post. Though, next time you say badfic, I'll probably give it a pass.
What is it about this that would make S.A. get writing?
skips several hundred posts.
What. Victor. Said.
Don't ever do that again. Please.
I've got to go with Victor on this one. Even tubby man love would be better.
See, to me badfic usually means bad writing - either bad spelling, punctuation, syntax, grammar, or bad characterisation, weak plot, cliched writing. And this wasn't that. This is another level of fic - it's like a snuff film with really nice sets and costumes.
No offense intended... I want to say that I mean that in a good way - but, really, there's no good about it, is there.... I think it was well written, it was in character, it was plausible. And, really, that makes it hard to dismiss or ignore.
