QaF and fanfic in general

So, first off, Happy Birthday to [livejournal.com profile] anoel! I hope you had a great day!

So I've been thinking lately. About QaF. And fic. Specifically, all the great crack fic QaF had.

I think it's easier to recognize Bad!Fic once you're out of a fandom, and QaF had some of the very *best* Bad!Fic out there (or maybe time dims such things :P).

So I would like to open my comments up to talk about some of the really good Bad!Fic out there. Not the stuff, where there was bad spelling, or a complete lack of plot, but the Bad!Fic that you just couldn't stop reading, even though it was getting really out of character, or was so off from what the characters on the show were that the only resemblence they had were the same names. Some particularly memorable ones from QaF for me:
-Miss Miko's *epic* fic, where we got to spend 10 chapters reading (and seeing, as there were pictures!) about the boys decorating their house.
-That fic, by someone, where in the first 20 chapter part, Justin was a deaf single dad, and then in the beginning of the next 20 chapter part, he got it cured, and the story had like, another 20 chapter part, where you completely forgot that the premise of the fic in the beginning was that he was deaf.
-Amish!Justin
-The one where they were all Space!Pirates.
-*all* the fics where Justin became a prostitute
-The one where Brian was a mobster in the 1920s.
-The one where Brian was the high school kid, and Justin let him move in after his dad beat the shit out of him or something.
-The one where Brian was a Roman soldier, and Justin a Celtic warrior.
-Oh the awesome mpreg one that was told from the two sides (one a Bad!Fic writer, and one where the author tried to keep them in character).

I know there were more out there! I'm sure others fandoms have them too!

It could be the same one. I'm probably confusing two or more fics. I think it's pretty much mandatory that all mpregs have triplets named Michaela, Brianna and Justine. But I'm pretty sure the minivan one took itself pretty seriously. Or as seriously as any mpreg fic can.

The other example I thought of is any fic in which Brian calls Justin "baby", even just once. Any excessive use of any nickname is bad.

I found it! *squeals with delight*

Uomo Incinta (http://www.thelibertydiner.net/UomoIncinta.html) by Rena.

It's even more cracktastic than I remembered! It takes itself totally seriously. It's set after S2, when Justin has left Brian for the fiddler. Only then does Brian notice that he's throwing up every morning, so he goes to the doctor.

“I need a pregnancy test.” Brian sighed, running his fingers through his hair.
“What makes you think you might be pregnant?”
“Classic symptoms. Morning sickness, increased appetite, and my nipples hurt.”

HIS NIPPLES HURT!!!! lol. And it gets better! Apparently Brian has a "history". There were complications last time, and he nearly died. But he's going to keep it! Suddenly he realizes that the loft is no place to raise a baby, so he asks Jennifer Taylor to find him a house.

“You can see her as much as you want. I mean, like you said, she’s your grandchild. I want you to be part of her life, if that’s what you want.”
“She?” Jennifer asked with a smile. Brian nodded, smiling as well.
“Found out yesterday.”
“Have you picked out any names yet?”
“I was thinking Justine Michelle.” Brian said softly, not quite looking her in the eye.
“It’s a beautiful name, Brian.” She touched his cheek. She understood that he was naming his child after two of the most important people in his life.

And all this is just in the first chapter!!!!!

Oh wow. This is stupendous. I have so much laundry to do (not to mention dinner!), but here I am reading mpreg. Lol. I'm going to bookmark it, so I can come back to it when I need a laugh.

I saw him in an ad on the subway this morning! Well, Chris Potter, not Dr Dave. There I was, minding my own business, looking at the CBC adsplosion (that's what I call it when one company takes over every ad space in the subway car) and absent-mindedly thinking, "Hey, a cowboy!" Then BAM! My eyes were gouged out.

Lol. That's another misrepresentation: that all Canadians are awesome, and we should love them all. Studies have shown that only 97% of Canadians are above average in the awesomeness department, while 2% are just average awesome, and the final 1% suck.
