Well... surprisingly enough, the Evil Commentary Bureau has expanded far beyond it's original design. Growing from simply an anti-plagiarist/idiot tool used by myself in a pretentious and elitist style of tearing apart writing, it has grown to include group MST'ings. I also hear people find the stuff amusing. Sort of like watching a professional beat down I guess...
So, in the interest of expanding this concept further and providing more entertainment, the ECB is now accepting petitions for stuff to be critiqued. Stories, articles, writings, whatever. Preferrably idiotic and short sighted for the humor content.
This thread will be for suggestions for targets. Please include links and any relevent background information as it will assist in a prompt and efficient victimization of the target. Have a Nice Day! ^_^ Any personal comments, wishes, or compliments to the ECB, please send via private message.

Share and share the evil alike, the first lesson I learned from Fearless Leader. :)
Seriously, this one is just a bit ripe.
I know you guys want to do this one:
Kaiphantom's latest masterpiece, 'Ranma, Version 2.0?'
Watch as Kai writes a fic 'based' on one of Rak's ideas, totally destroying it in the process. See Ranma get bashed in ever way possible in a fic that's up there with 'Better End'. And be in awe when you realize that he was writing this to get one of his fics listed as a '2' by Rak.
It'll probably be on his page and ff.net soon. Right now it's on the ffml and Delphi.

Very cliche fics, though the writing isn't that bad at times. Basically one of those authors who you know what the outcome of the story (match, which is always R/A, as well as how the other girls will be treated) is going to be by the beginning of the first chapter.
I actually have the urge to try and do a solo ECB of one of his stories.

I can't even begin to tell you how much this fic sucks. I know that people from SR have reviewed and already said what a pile of shit it is, but this deserves a nice ECB cleansing.

From what little I read (parts of chapters 2, 4 and 5), seems like the standard cliches through and through (though Ukyou's 'angst' scene was worth a few laughs at seeing how forced it was).
The jist of it (at least after chapter 2) seems to be that Akane ended up in the hospital and Ranma agreed with Cologne to marry Shampoo for the cure. Now he's trying to find a way out (wow, I didn't see that one coming 9_9), which results in Akane challenging Shampoo for Ranma's hand in marriage.
I'll give you 3 guesses as to who's going to win this fight. And if anyone here picks Shampoo, they obviously haven't been reading Ranma fics for that long.

I present you with the SI who marries Ranma - Ranma agrees five minutes after meeting him (yes, him). The guy can spell, the guy can use punctuation, but the guy needs to be kicked in the crotch with steel toed.

Ranma/KOF. It's been up just over a week and already has over 50 reviews.

% While I agree everyone that encouraged the guy with this are complete morons, the writer in question claims to be only 16 and English is his second language. That definitely lowers my expectations, so this fic doesn't surprise me much. Not saying it's good, just qualifying that my personal standards for it being fodder are not that great.

Brief synopsis, up to Chapter 6 -
Hinako is dying from some horrible illness caused by the technique Happosai teaches her. Her grandmother, Urd, decides to help her by making Ranma her bodyguard/doctor. In the meantime, Ranma's life begins to resemble a dating sim; Kasumi is the female lead. Akane turns out to be a lesbian, and Happosai is actually a demon outlaw who's pissed off both Heaven and Hell. Kasumi turns into an uber half-god/half-demon walking deus ex machina, and Nabiki hooks up with some ANC catboy from another dimension. Thereafter, she becomes a furry.
Yay! It's my first nomination. I can't tell which is worse, the so-called plot or the numerous grammar abuses.

I give you "ranma the mage" by "myndless": http://www.mediaminer.org/fanfic/view_ch.php?cid=177249&submit=View+Chapter&id=58221
See Ranma & Ryouga almost start fighting, then nonchalantly decide that the inhabitants of Juuban will mind the distruction less.
Watch them start throwing magic around, get attacked by the Senshi, call the entire rest of the Nerima crew in, kill an opportune youma, help the Senshi, and then get attacked by the Senshi again. Ranma dies, and while he's messing around meeting the alternate personalities in his head, in a futile attempt at revenge Akane dragon-slaves the Senshi who promptly kill all the rest of the Nerimans. All this in not much more than the first ( short ) chapter!
Don't miss the "Hyper Kachuu Tenshin Amaguriken revised Visafarank fiery fists of rage" attack, Ranma having difficulty beating Ryouko ( yes, from Tenchi ) and then promptly hammering Tenchi even with him using Light-Hawk Wings, and numerous other "surprises"....

Not quite as stupid as this author's other fic, but still dumb. Ranma dies from the Neko-ken training and gets resurrected with bits of the Norns' souls. Nabiki is uber and runs a business dealing primarily with other really uber ANCs. Ranma finds out about this, and thereafter, becomes a goddess. Ranma and Nabiki get teleported to some random alternate dimension for a century or two in the name of "training." This gets compressed to roughly 3 paragraphs of text, maybe less. After that, Ranma gets better at school.

Hmm, must be getting muddled up with some other similar site. No matter.
You're probably thinking of Darkscribes and the FY, or something. Either way, not us.
I accidentally came across the following "story"... I just don't know what to say...
http://www.mediaminer.org/fanfic/view_st.php/33185
I don't even need to read that. It's by Hvulpes!
Not only is the guy incapable of stringing two coherent sentences together, he's incapable of understanding two coherent sentences when they're thrown at him. As are his fans (not that there are many . . .) - not really worth the bother.
;.;
Hvulpes, eh? Not familiar with the guy, but I got no problems with "lost causes". Ah well.
Guh!? Not MasterPC! The wish-fulfillment for horny young writers and SIers...I thought it had died off years ago. Considering that all the stories basically have the exact same plot (find MasterPC, become an SI sex-god, have a lot of sex, THE END) I don't even have to read beyond the first chapter to know that Rezantis' claims are well-founded about the author.
And now here's someone adding the Ranma element into it...badly. This thing is chock full of fanon, the author seems to have forgotten what spaces and paragraphs are, and has fallen into the 'Ranma is a god with no faults and everyone else should be his slave' catagory of Ranma-ficcers.
Paint chips as a kid or powerlines over his house? I wonder...

"Ranma's Story" by DSWynne. Not off to a great start already... let's see what the summary says.
This story is about Ranma Saotome's relationship with "Serena" Usagi ("Sailor Moon") Tsukino in the world of "Star Trek"...and beyond!. Oh dear.
Dear god, where did this go? Star Trek, Greek legends, Xena, Wonder Woman, both Ranma and Usagi apparently having had children with just about everyone in history somewhere offscreen, most of the fic being such a mind-bogglingly compressed flashback that I couldn't actually manage to even try and take in what the hell was going on. Somehow managed to be both completely intense and utterly dull at the same time, which is a fair feat. If this is the first chapter then I suspect by the end of the fic it'll have managed to somehow work in every TV series ever broadcast.
