Since the update thread can often be filled with discussion about how a fic is horrible and such. Here's a place to complain the shit out of fics that you see being updated and you despise without NDF getting angry that you ruined his day for having to scroll past your post in the update thread.

Please be sure to actually indicate which fic is being complained about.

Chaotic Rebirth

Fuck, it's one thing to wallow in cliches and or fanon but to do so with so little thought or effort to at least present them in some kind of interesting ways is just horrid.

"Excuse me, Miss," Ayame addressed Akane, "But what did you know? What is going on here?"

Akane propped herself up on the table and got to her feet. "I knew," she began in a deadly quiet voice, "that you were a new fiancÚe. I knew the moment you entered the room. What was offered this time? Money? Food? Other commodities?" she asked still in that flat, tired voice.

"No..." Ayame tried.

Akane smacked her palms on the table with enough force to make it groan in protest, and her face was red with rising fury as she laced Ranma with a burning glare. "I'm sick and tired of this, Ranma! It has been one month, one month since the wedding, and three new fiancÚes have come out of the woodwork. Three! I can't go on like this, Ranma, and I won't! Take your new hussy and leave," she said with tears streaming down her face and plopped onto her cushion.
Somebody get me a razor blade so I can slit my wrists, I can't wait, better just use my teeth.

Okay. I tried reading <a href='http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6619563/1/Angel_Of_Light' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Angel of Light</a>, but that story is so full of horrible characterisation, stupid fanon clichÚs, and plot holes big enough to drive a death star through, that I had to give up on it after two chapters.

The MAGI register a pattern blue reading within Tokyo-3, and Ritsuko hits the alarm. Visual sensor reveal this "Angel" to be a 14-year-old Ranma Saotome. Gendo thinks it's a false alarm, but then Ranma gets splashed by cold water and turns into a girl. Gendo changes his mind and has security apprehend Ranma.

After Ranma's been picked up, Ritsuko checks him with every available sensor at NERV HQ, and they all tell her he's an Angel. They question him, and Ranma tells them that, despite looking 14, he's actually 32, he has a curse that changes his gender, and that he lost his whole family after Second Impact.

What does Gendo do? Does he tell security to apprehend Ranma, lock him in a cell and throw away the key? Does he arrange for Ranma to be murdered quietly and without much fanfare and for his body to be disposed of?

Of course not. Gendo decides to make Ranma an Eva pilot. :wacko:

After all, every piece of information they have tells them Ranma's an Angel, he changes gender with cold and warm water, and his explanation for that is so fantastic nobody would believe it. At best, Ranma's a serious security risk. At worst, he's going to fuck their shit up and end the world. It makes perfect sense for Gendo to give him Unit01!

Not. :no:

That is so incredibly stupid, I can't suspend my disbelief enough to buy that. I'd have to be high on Acid to not find that an offence to my, the reader's, intellect.

The following chapter reveals that weebee has never bothered to take a look at the Ranma source material and takes all his info and his characterisation straight from other, bad fanfics.

Instead of being an absolute neat freak, who can't stand any mess at all and who feels a compulsive need to actually clean up messes, even if they're other people's messes, Ranma is revealed to be something of a slob.

We are told that, for the last 16 years, Ranma has tried to overcome his fears of cats and has reached the point where he can, FINALLY!, say the word 'cat' without stuttering like an idiot. Compared to canon, his "progress" is actually two steps backwards. <_<

And, of course, Ranma is an idiot who sleeps in class. He's still cursed, even after 16 years, during which he could have easily gone to China to take a dip in the right spring or called the guide and have him send a cask, yet he grumbles about his curse like he did in Nerima. It makes no sense at all, but weebee apparently is a firm believer in the "I will NEVER cure Ranma's curse, even if it results in Ranma being out of character and means my story will suffer from huge plot holes" policy.

The horrible characterisation and the whole nonsensical Ranma still being cursed thing is really just icing on the cake, though. The story dies a horrible death right in the first chapter, when Gendo turns off his brain and makes Ranma an Eva pilot.

It's just bad.

I feel vindicated. I heard, several times, peoples acclaiming that piece of filth to my complete, utter confusion. I'm so glad, now I know I haven't actually been completely crazy/devoid of taste all these years. :sisi:

It does seem to be an incredibly pointless crossover, however.

Haven't read 'Ranma's Master' *shudder*, but the other two are definitely rage inducing due to their great stupidity.

This one's really bad. It not only contains almost every of the usual clichÚs but it's also really stupid. Oh yeah , Ranma is part dragon, part Asgardian elf, Genma's not his father, Nodoka makes Genma and Soun commit suicide, sends Akane to a mental hospital,... Also has bad spelling and grammar, although the fic supposedly is being proofread by 'Ranma-sama' whoever that may be.

Ans when I read the author's note I don't know what to think.

Authors notes.

I suck. I now know I really suck but I have now finish my college English writing so I hope to make all my story's bette
If this is the level of a college student the world is doomed. He doesn't even have the excuse of being a non-native English speaker.

Any stories under 10k words are 99.5% crap. Wish ffnet would let you filter out stories based on average words per chapter as well.

Honestly not seeing how this isn't an acceptable outcome of removing the comic from Ranma and replacing it with grimderp.

Seriously, if any of us were in akane's place, we'd probably have gone batshit insane after two months too.

Best neologism I've seen in a long time. I shall have to remember it and use it in the future.

Well played, sir, well played indeed.

Everything about it. :headbanger:

From the OC the author called Ranma, to the creepy weanie Gosunkugi lovin' fest.

What's with that voodoo manic & fanfic authors? He's got no redeeming qualities. For a loser, he's quite selfish & petty. :huh.:

I'm still trying too ignore the 'other' OC that squeaks in the last chapter.

And I thought that at 90k, the story would have SOME redeeming qualities. :sick:

But KASUMI of all people? While she's outclassed by most other characters, there are some like Ukyo and the Blue Thunder that would be more likely to be on her hit list than Kasumi. Hell, if she was going to kill one of her sisters, why not the one who's been selling her out multiple times without caring.
