AboutYou're reading fanfic, innocently. Maybe you already knew it was badfic. Maybe you didn't. And suddenly, that perfect mistake jumps up at you. The unfortunately misplaced modifier; the ridiculous dangling participle; the word that doesn't QUITE mean that. And hilarity, usually accompanied by GREAT PAIN, ensues.
This community is for sharing the pain AND the hilarity! Post short excerpts with links to the stories. Snark at them as you wish. (They often seem to speak for themselves.)
