Because I love Digimon and I love the Digimon fandom, but...let's face it guys. There are a lot of really, really bad fics. And since this is a fanfiction forum, in addition to recommending good fics, I think it makes sense to also ward people away from awful ones.
And this is the place for the awful ones. Not just the run of the mill 'Suddenly, Taichi and Yamato are banging with no explanation' or the usual poor grammar--those are great reasons to hate a fic, but anyone on this site has probably been around the block enough times to see the signs of the usual reasons to bail out. This is for the fics that go above and beyond the usual limits of badness or stupidity.
Note: If possible, explain why you feel said fic is so bad.
I'll go first.
Let's start with the biggest one. The fic with the most favorites in the entirety of the Digimon Fandom--not the most reviews, because review count can be based on a lot of things (Chapter count, for example) unrelated to quality. But a Favorited fic is generally one that people like (or else, want to follow for whatever reason--it's on mine, so I never forget it's real), so this fic is supposedly the most liked fic in the fandom.
I fucking hate it. I despise every aspect of it. I could rip into it so much that....that's exactly what I'm going to do!
Those of you who've spent significant time around the Naruto fandom may recall the fic 'Black Flames Dance In The Wind: Rise of Naruto.' Long story short, it's fucking horrible, but this isn't the place to tell you why--I'm just bringing it up because it's author, DevilKeys Writing, also wrote this fic, Tamer of the Hazard.
For the sake of fairness, I'll be going with the revised version of the fic--the first on was horrible, but DW noticed that, apparently, and tried to correct it. Fair enough; everyone writers bad fics. I permanently deleted all traces of some of my earlier fics out of pure shame. So I'll only look at the new version.
It's main character is, as you probably guessed by the title, Takato. I say by the title, because you might not be able to tell from the summary:
...
So yeah, I'm going to have to go deep to pick this pile of crap apart, which I will. But as quite possibly the pinnacle of badness in the fandom, I can't do this in one sitting. I'll get to it when I get a chance, but for now...I must prepare myself.
Also, I have a question: Do you guys just want a summary of the bad parts? Or do you want to watch me suffer through and MST of this crap?
(Also, post the worst of the worst that you guys can find.)
