Frequently Asked Questions
Well, when you run a site like this, you're bound to cause people to raise questions.
- What is this site?/What is this site about?
This site is what it says it is - an archive of what is considered the worst Sailor Moon fanfiction on the Internet.
- Why did you create this site?/Why bad fanfiction?
I chose bad fanfiction because....well, it's not a topic many people like to talk about, nor is it fanfiction with an archive for it. Obviously there is a niche for the people who do like to talk about it, and there are places to find bad fanfiction scattered all over the Internet, but there are very few sites that try to actually archive the original story, and that caught my attention. So, my site's goal is to remedy that, as well as have some (mostly) level reviews on the stories themselves.
- I bet you were inspired by the Fic Bitch/Tuxedo Jack/Megane 6.7. Plagarizer!
Wha? Inspiration is not the same as plagarism. Yes, I was inspired by the Fic Bitch and Tuxedo Jack. No, I didn't "plagiarize" either. Our sites may share a common mission of presenting badfiction, but one, Fic Bitch doesn't actually archive the badfic she selects (she just links to them and posts amusing snippets); two, Tuxedo Jack archives some of the fanfics I chose to achive but doesn't review them; three, I don't MST, as Megane and Tuxedo have; four, a good amount of this fanfiction was not found by either Tuxedo Jack, Fic Bitch or Megane; and five, 99 percent of the stories are public domain anyhow. How in the world am I plagiarizing from any of them? :(
- Who the heck is Kousagi? Why is she your mascot?
Kousagi Tsukino is the parallel universe younger daughter of Usagi Tsukino and Mamoru Chiba in the one-shot story known as Parallel Sailor Moon, published in 1999 in the Materials Collection artbook. As you can tell, she gets excited and cries very easily. She is not a well-known character, and there are precious few sites out there that even mention her. So, this is my "hurrah" to her character.
- How did you choose these stories?/What is your criteria for choosing the stories for your archive?
The best answer to that is to look on my Criteria page. There are a lot of things I consider before putting a fanfic on here. Granted, a lot of the older fanfiction need little consideration for their places here (who argues over Oscar?) but for a lot of the newer stories, such criteria is particularly helpful in my decision.
- You know, there's this story on your site that I think belongs in this category, not this one.
Yes, I will admit, there are some stories that do qualify for more than one category - it can be a tough choice. Sue or Epic? Crossover or Sue? One-Shot or Troll? Sometimes I weigh my options and go with the category I think best fits with the story. Generally stories are placed in one category. Certain stories, of course, will end up in more than one category because they are so bad. So, there you go.
- I found something REALLY bad. I mean, it makes Gonterman read like Shakespeare.
Hey, send it in and I'll definitely take a look at it! That's the point of this archive, to assemble the worst of the worst, review them, and keep them here for all to see. Keep in mind that I have the final say on what does and doesn't get up here, so don't be upset if I don't choose something you sent me, or I don't choose everything if you happen to send in a bunch of stories.
- Hey, my fanfic's on here! What gives?/My fanfic's on here. I never said anyone else could post it!
I'm sorry to hear I posted your fanfiction and you're unhappy about it because you didn't know about it. However, it is within my right to do so without your permission. See my disclaimer at the bottom of the page for details on that.
- You're mean!/You're a jerk!/I hate you!/I'll sue you for this!/I'm a cap/bust/kick your ass!
That's an awfully silly thing to try. It's not like I killed your kitten. I just think your story's terrible, and it's within my right to think that way. Besides, kitties are adoooooowable. I wouldn't harm a kitten. Honestly, there's no need to become violent!
- Well, if you think I'm such a terrible writer, why don't YOU write something, Ms. Perfect?
Funny you should say that....
- I'm boycotting this site!/I'm making an example of you to my friends!
Be my guest, if you want to again be silly about it. Though I highly doubt your boycotting this site will make much of a difference on the visitors to my site, aside from your friends, anyhow. :)
- Wait, why do you have the Pluto Planet Depository here? A lot of the stuff in there seems fine to me!
Of course most of the stuff in there is fine. But just like the bad fanfiction, how many sites archive the "Pluto is/is not a planet" stories of Sailor Moon fanfiction? None. So, why not me?
- Wait, I was looking for your fanfiction. Sorry!
No problem. Click here.
- Has anyone ever told you...you're weird!
Thank you. :p
This shall be updated as more questions arise. In the meantime, enjoy the rest of the site. :)
