Why do we need a thread like this? Because I'm the John Waters of Fanfiction. I recently found the gem that is red dead john merston: the return and dislike, a Red Dead Redemption fanfic, which contains golden lines like: "I NEVER NEEDED YOU IN MY LIFE WHEN YOU GOT TAKEN AWAY FROM THE FBI I WAS A HERO OF THE FAMILY" and: "THATS IT I WILL GET A REDEMPTION FOR ABIGAL MERSTON" "A RED DEAD REDEMPTION"

That last line there - I want to hug the author for that.

Heh, heh, those lines made me chuckle a little.
I do admit with Doc that I had trouble differentiating the two sometimes. Then there are other times you can tell that they tried to troll but epically failed. (See So bad it's horrible Fan fic on TV tropes for more details)
You know... I think I should write another troll fic. I've missed those good times when I've written a fic called "Thug Love". It felt great to get something stupid out once in a while, at the same time the excitement to see everyone's reaction to it, especially on this forums...
As for any other so bad it's good fan fics, I do stumbled a few of them I can't remember exactly... I need to pick those up and post it here.

As for whether or not some of this people are trolling, I don't know. I didn't think it was possible to write that badly, but I know plenty of people with poor control over spelling and grammar, and if they were to write fanfiction, I'm sure it would come out reasonably similar.

Here's a touching sad story..."A Sad Story" has to be my favourite Harry Potter fanfiction of all time, except for maybe My Immortal. It's so outrageously bad that it can make horrible things like child abuse and murder pretty funny.

I liked reading the comments from the people who actually liked it.

Here's another good one Left 2 Die 4ever, a Left 4 Dead fanfiction about a crazy sandwich vendor with a cameo from (presumably) the G-Man.

Still can't remember bad fanfics that was redeeming enough due to snark bait worthy, but I've been reading this fan comic called "How I became yours", based 'loosely' in the Avatar: The last airbender fandom. You can find it here: s762.photobucket.com/albums/xx265/ReneeLuvsZutara/Nice wall of text, cut and paste artwork, dodgy photoshop touching, fridge logic galore (not counting about the lore issues), wangst, so much flaws... yet they are bloody entertaining... for the wrong reasons (note: snark bait worthy). Oh and I love how they talk about the mysterious injured girl and how they don't know her identity, when they could take taken off her mark while she was still unconscious or something. Also this is one of those rare moments where certain famdom crap didn't gave me a bloody headache as I've read though, hence it fits into the so-bad-it's-good territory... if you can ignore the lore derailment for just a moment.

And here I thought I was the only Avatar fan on this board. Will reading this spoil any of the plot for me? (I've only seen Book 1 so far.)

I think it will to the slight extent. It's a cookie cutter fic, so you won't see too much spoilers, but I'd still recommend you finish the whole series first, just to maximise your snarking enjoyment.
