Title and the opening author's notes say most of the story, but you have to read like 5 chapters before you get the full effect. For some reason, even though most of it was completely, completely horrible as hell, I found it FUNNY. Maybe I'm just a sick, twisted man.
Give it a try. I dare you to read all of it. Anyone want to take me up on this dare?
I occasionally check that out and each time I do I have to fight the urge to gouge my eyeballs out. A glutton for self torture is what I most assuredly am. -_-;
Sincerely,

Pfft. You're a sick twisted man. Duh.
Now if you want me to reaffirm any more obvious statements of fact, don't hesitate to ask. ^_^
Oh, c'mon, are you the only two to take the challenge?
...and that reminds me, does anyone else remember the stories back on Delphi that were intended to test your resolve to read to the end?

Yeah, the rest of us learned for their sacrifice. ^_^

I've seen fics like that, but claiming it was an intentional endurance test is a more clever excuse than I've ever seen an 'author' use to justify their assaults on plot, characterization, spelling, grammar, and common sense..
You mean nearly everything written by WFRose?
What do you mean 'nearly'? ^_^
Touché.

Stop! Wforse was a awesome. He was a bastion of.... Hell, sorry, can't even joke about him being anywhere close to decent.
Well, if I recall correctly the technical aspect of his writing wasn't too bad. His problem had more to do with what he wrote, much like Carrot.
Carrot, by the way, was another one who tested your ability to keep reading.
I think you guys have been reading too many pieces of good literature lately. I wouldn't expect fanfiction readers to have such a distinctive palate. :]
Just because we read works written by non-professionals doesn't mean we eat shit and enjoy it. People like Carrot and WFRose are far from the worst fanfiction has to offer, but they aren't nearly the best, either.
Recalling fics like Artemis' Lover (terrible), The Better End? (almost as bad), Quantum Destinies (meh), Trio (what was I smoking?), On a Clear Day You Can See Forever (good read, highly OOC), Grey (Better read, OOC), Sound Hearts (loved it), Vacation Days (probably the best Tenchi-fic out there), and pretty much anything written by Benjamin Oliver gives you an idea of the range of quality I'm used to reading.
Of course, you have to realize that most of the quality of written work accepted by this forum is 1000x greater than most other forums. Well, maybe not a thousand, but it's a lot greater than most other places.
Surely you can remember a time when, being younger and less experienced, you enjoyed some crappy stories and thought they were good?

Well, I
did mention Trio and Quantum Destinies.
Well, my original challenge still stands. Has anyone else read all of the chapters? What are your thoughts?

Challenge? Do you think we're five years old? That we don't have enjoyable things to waste our time with, like banging our heads against the wall or reading about Martha Stewart being denied Canadian entry. The more fitting challenge for this group would be to see how many can resist the urge just to click on the silly link.

Of course not. Didn't you read my first post on why?
KPJam: I'm sorry if I made it sound like that. I didn't imply it like that, but it really doesn't matter that much anymore.
Edward: I'm sorry if I wasted your time.
