Suggestion Box

What happens when the author of one of our highlighted fics discovers what we’ve been doing?  We stick it here, that’s what!

The author of Upon da Balcony finds us!  Read the comments for the amusing conclusion to this encounter.

March 4th, 2012

The author of A Questing We Go! finds us, as well as some random, irate person who is probably a real-life friend of her’s.  Both of their responses (which contain misspelling and poor grammar) are handled beautifully by our friend, Herr Wozzeck.

The author of Batman Arkham Asylum: The Untold story finds our little corner of the ‘net! And seems to accept the criticism with grace.

For the second time this year an author has located the Library! The author of the  Jamy Lin and the killers has matured as a writer since the publishing of their fic.

It’s an epidemic! Yet another writer, this time the author of the Star Wars/ Lad Before Time puzzler A Jedi’s Destiny: Episode 1: Rise of the Sith. The author, Jedi 472, even managed to joke about it on our Sucktastic Awards page.

  1. Don’t know if anyone would be interested enough to tackle this bohemoth of a fic BUT apparently A Jedis Destiny Rise of the Sith is based off of another Land Before Time fic with the name of BOSE which means Battle of the Sacred Essenceswritten by author ThunderBlade. A little side fact, apparently the raptor battle scene in the Jedi fic was almost copied word for word from this one.

      Oh sweet merciful sith raptor!

      I’ll have to check that out.

    • That mess is a fanfic of a fanfic?!?

    • Herr Wozzeck says:

      Holy crap! I just… there are two of those fucking things!?

      *headdesk*

      • erttheking says:

        Parallel Realities all over again huh?

      • Herr Wozzeck says:

        You have no idea. At least I’m actually snarking the original and not the rip-off.

    • SwingSweetSeraphim says:

      I honestly hope that you do Taco I have enjoyed your riff of A Jedi’s Destiny but I can understand if you want to take a break from the odd Land Before Time Star Wars crossovers. I have read some of this fic and honestly the first chapter looks like its about 50 typed pages.

    • Herr Wozzeck says:

      I won’t speak for Taco, but from where I stand, snarking this fic is totally off-limits. Sure, it’s silly, sure, it’s too cross-overy, and sure, some parts are dumb. But it has tons of fun with itself, and I feel that the fact that it never takes itself too seriously is a plus. It’s like an Arnold Schwarzenegger movie for me: it’s silly, but it’s enjoyable precisely because it’s silly.

      (Well, that, and Sarge1995 and I have become really good friends through this fic and my own. The only rule of snarking that I have never broken is that fics by friends are off-limits for me, not because I don’t want to hurt their feelings (Sarge has since said to me that he sees that this fic could’ve been a lot better), but because I respect them too much to want to make fun of their stuff.)

      • drunkensoviet says:

        Fair enough

      • You could always do it as a Sunday Special.

    If anyone is interested in ripping a piece of shit courtesy of yours truly apart, feel free.

    Greetings, noble sporkers! I hail from yon PPC Posting Board, and I come bearing tidings of—okay, no, that’s enough.

    I have a fic that deserves the fullest MST treatment you can give. I’m sporking it myself, PPC-style, but I can’t cover ALL the hilarious malapropisms, insane turns of logic, and purple descriptions that way, and this… well, see for yourselves: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8174397/1/Blood-Raining-Night

    To bastardize a Harry Potter quote, this fic will be famous, and every sporker on the Internet will know its name. It’s a megacrossover of a bunch of animes with a giant Mary Sue OC in the middle, and it’s so amazing that no one I’ve showed it to can tell for sure whether it’s a troll or not. I’m more inclined to think it’s serious, because no troll I’ve heard of ever went to the trouble of making a deviantART account full of MS Paint-esque drawings of the OCs, and turning the story into YouTube animations with “voice acting” by their friends, and making their own website for it… but that’s just me.

    Enjoy!

    • :click:

      Sweet baby Jebus. I think my brain is melting.

      • Neshomeh says:

        Yeah, it’ll do that to you. Beware “hentai” chapters 5 and 9, by the way. 5 is just stupid, but 9 is rather icky and disturbing.

      • And of course I had to look. That is just so much wrongness.

    • Herr Wozzeck says:

      Oh hey there, Nesh! =D Let’s see what–

      The summary spells cat with two ‘a’s… And the prose… Good Christ, the prose!

      I feel bad for poor Nume and Ilraen. I barely got through two paragraphs of this thing before I was like “yeah, I don’t think I should read this futher”. And may God help Ghostie should she decide to take this on…

      • I’m not really familiar with the characters or the canon, but then the fic author doesn’t seem to be either.

      • Neshomeh says:

        Hiya, Herr! *wavewave* The prose does not improve, ever, and the logic actually goes downhill as it goes on (and it was still in progress last time I checked). You’re probably making the right choice. Even Nume had to admit to needing backup for this one, so they’re dragging Jenni along.

        As for the characters, whatever the author does know about them gets promptly tossed out the window as soon as it isn’t convenient to the, er, plot. We’ll call it that. So, yeah. Anyone could probably riff it based on the writing alone, but the canon mistakes do add to the lovely bouquet of WTF.

    • TacoMagic says:

      o.O

      I just…

      *Flagrant brain error. Please reboot Taco.*

      • :sigh:

        I’ll go get the chili peppers, mop, and bucket of sour cream out of the storage locker.

    Two very bad pieces:

    • Herr Wozzeck says:

      No. 1:

      LOL, someone linked to that one in the PPC’s board. You know the fic probably sucks when the author’s name is a weird mish-mash of letters that would be out of place even in the Cthuhlu mythos. But yeah…

      No. 2:

      I… what? What? The first chapter is barely even a paragraph long! And the punctuation… And the grammar… I don’t… I…

      *headdesk* *headdesk* *headdesk*

  6. Can’t get a link, shitty school computer, but…try Starkits Prophcy [sic]. Has a TVTropes article.
