The standard of fanfiction is dropping. As its popularity increases, every man, woman and child (especially the children) are posting their ridiculous pieces of drivvle on the internet.
This outburst comes from the recent invasion of a lovely Willow/Tara Buffy community board, by a fanfiction writer who lacks even the most basic grasp of the English language. The poster WRITES ALL HER TITLES IN CAPS LOCK and has possibly asked their 1 year old sibling to take over the typing duties.
Just how bad is this writing? Ok, let's provide an excerpt.
...
So Tara and Donnie Maclay welcome to sunnydale high let’s just check your school records here well Donnie it says you’re a senior with a b average the principle said

Horrible horrible horrible. It makes me feel dirty and ashamed. I wouldn't care so much if it wasn't for a couple of truly outstanding writers on the board - people who can write stories that make you cry or laugh out loud as you read. Sorry, I mean LOL.
The irritating thing is that this person continues to post story after story, cluttering up the board and infecting the good fics with their awfulness.
I feel like crying in the shower over it. Which makes me think of two things:
1. Tobias Funke, after losing his fire sale audition in Top Banana, Arrested Development
2. The Rape Shower reenactment, from Hostel Part 2
