*crosses fingers ficbitches will live again*

[here_inmyhead]

I feel like anyone who's ever been in fandom has their own personal "worst badfic." ficbitches brings up Chocobo Nights a lot, for example. Without a doubt in my mind, I know lots of badfic classics and talk of them like we talk of bad movies (some with humorous affection aka My Immortal, others with disgust and utmost horror, like "the one where Tifa gives birth to a Chocobo."), but the one that leaves tar-coated thorns oozing over the cockles of my little black heart is a Sonic the Hedgehog fanfic called "Manipulated Love."

Apparently, Manipulated Love has been deleted from FF.net. The fic whose badness inspired me to write my first lemon as an antidote / "brain bleach" to the UTTER HORROR AND RAPE IN MULTIPLE LEVELS OF THIS GODAWFUL SGHDKJGHDKJGHKJD disappeared. My first reaction? "Nooooooooooooooooo!"

Then I realized it still existed on Sonadow.com. Cue simultaneous response of "Whew!" and "Oh god no!" My god, the memories. Yeah, a fic this bad to influence an ashamed 16-year-old girl wrangling with her sexuality to write loving graphic smut of two hedgehogs is uh... "special."

I'm going to play more Epic Yarn.
