Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

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.

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

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.
