OK, see, the thing with following what look like dreadful links, is that once in a while you get something spectacularly vile that makes you swear you will never follow one again... but then you forget the godawful ones, remember the funny ones, and tentatively follow the next one you see after the amnesia sets in.
And you hit one howler after another after another - execrably bad, but freaking hysterical in their badness. And you coast merrily along, with ridiculously purple prose and way off (like, in another universe) characterizations and diction that would make the original author weep ("For sure!" said Legolas!) and plot twists that weren't meant to be plot twists at all (what the... when did Merry get there?) and it's just hilarious, and a great essay break, and then...
::SMACK::
... and suddenly you're back in hideous where-can-I-find-an-eyeball-scraper fic.
Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaa......

Actually, seriously if you have a webpage I'd love to see it. I'm so used to only seeing t100+ entries that I no longer have a clear idea of who writes what - it's all just challenge-related. Used to be I could identify fics by their authors instead of the challenges. I'd like to be able to do that again.

Um, here's the URL. Be warned, the Xena stuff was from when I was 15/16. Yes, even the NC-17 stuff. They're pretty much chronological as you scroll down.

And then you can either scream in agony, or possibly shrug and not think it was worthy of bleach.
