Worst of the Worst - Contribute to The Most Awful Fic Ever Written by jetflair

wash comes back (again again) as the First evil - no/one can touch him - 'cept his special blue gloves.

in a cheery fluffly comic scene Jayne - bravely trying to save the crew - snatches the gloves - and is transformed into a helpless cleaning lady - but so cute (natch) - in fact his new found charm and cha making abilities render the impending crisis of River's ALIEN BIRTH fairly trivial - and at least as Jayne himself says "Hell, i aint responsible for THAT one."

Mal (now written by wytchcroft) begins to talk only in patois - or is that pastiche? -
known as GALACTIC or gibberese:

"Now you be holding up your horses there son - catching at my attentionalising an all - i know things aint so shiny but we gotta keep focussome aboout the 'verse an all ok? fine. Shiny. Again. Gorram - well, maybe - etc etc"

ah, i feel better now - off to caleb's room. I CAN TAKE MY PUNISHMENT LIKE A WYTCH.

well now, let's be testin' that theory a yours l'il wytch...

gulp!

I'm not sure if this has come up yet (The list is too gorram long to read before midnight), but here's a few:

Wash comes back as a zombie
ZOMBIE HORDE!!!
Godzilla
Rodan
All those other monster folk
Simon dieing heroically at the climax for Kaylee/River
Mal """" for Inara/Zoe
Any crew member """" Badger/ any OTHER crew member
Reformed Reavers (Yes, I am guilty of this)
Random songs from the twenty-first century appearing (Again, guilty as charged

)
Jayne, a whore, an empty room, silence.
Inara going ape-shit crazy on the world in general (Although, admittedly, entertaining)

"GORRAM it!" His mighty boots stamping into the muddy earth JAYNE COBB swept up the shaking and imbecilic form of Malcolm Reynolds. "I - I'm sorry..." croaked Mal feebly.

"Now don't you worry yerself none." said jayne, "you 're in my hands now. you gotta wife to get home to, i'm gonna make gorram sure you do."

The explosions were closing in. And there were reavers too!

"Grenade!" Yelled Jayne reaching into his backpack (while the narrator loving detailed its specifications, instructions on use and how to purchase on-line).

There was a satisfying bang and the sound of dead Reavers!

"Grenade!" Whooped Jayne again - this time there was a softer PLOP!

"Ah hell, that wern't no grenade... that were Jayne Jr the Nineth!"
"I won't tell..." smiled the grateful Mal.

Jayne scowled "Yeh but River can read minds!"
"You aint got one Jayne"
"Hell, that's right!"

Gleefully he began throwing babies with wicked accuracy at the nasty Reavers. The reavers began to RUN!

"Hmm - think this one mighta been monty's anyhow..." said Jayne hurling the bearded baby dead eye into a swarthy reaver face. "Never did trust Inara."

"No no - that was one of mine - but go right ahead." smiled the grateful Captain.

Last up was a blue eyed, golden haired little dum-dum. "hmmm - one of Wash's..." said Jayyne, "I should keep you for sentimental reasons, i'm sensitive like that..." he hurled the armour piercing child into the ragged ranks of surviving reavers.

"But Zoe never forgave River sleeping with you Wash - and besides we all know YOU AINT DEAD!"

meanwhile in Serenity, Simon was curing a tribble like epidemic of space hero babies with a large hyperdemic and a heart full of LOVE.

Pt 2 (of 750)

pausing only to have another child, River gazed adoringly at the ranks of karate stanced infants beside her. She especially liked the cutesome grey haired trippplets Mag, Zine and Hardback - souvenirs of her meaningful spritual tryst with the avatar spirit of Shepherd Thingy called down to her one hot and stuffy night (tho it might have been simon in a play suit, he was such a joker!).

suddenly her eyes turned inwards - her voice seemed bigger and a bit scary (but not too much ok).
"I see dead people... no wait - I relive days... no wait - once in every generation... no wait - you are the ooze that eats itself... um, lotta static today."

Still, it was time for school and jayne would be furious if the littluns weren't there on time.

Pausing only to have another child ("Wotcha!" it said with the usual Tam precocity. Hmm... have to get that one a hat...) she armed herself with a big gun and a short dress - dashed from the shuttle and began to kick the crap out of the waiting queue of parents.

"Out my ruttin way!" she yelled. "I'm a force of a nature - no, wait... the Truth is Out There... no, wait..."

by which time the karate children had stolen the shuttle and headed for the red light planet of SoHomeworld. "Hell we wanna par-tey!!" they gurgled merrily. "We's Cobb chillun GORRAM it!" they burped.

then - in a sudden but inevitable betrayal - they all put on blue gloves and did the oompa lumpa dance.

"what's... we can't - Dumpitty Do..."

And it was true - the pre-programmed shuttle had taken them into the very worst of crossover hells and it looked like they were DOOMED to spend eternity working for the Willy Wonka Corporation...

but - alas... it all ends happily of course.

reporting to caleb for crimes in the following manner:

wytchcroft writes:

"Red rum red rum!" the urchin form of the ragged river squealed as she circled the endless yet never once adaquately described corridors of the Overlook (and possibly now over used) Hotel Moon.

Depth and profundity flashed across her eyes as Mal shifted his weight crossing and uncrossing his arms like a restless junky. "Wha? well,an I done reckon that's a truthsome way of reckoningly expressivefying stuff" he murmered in the usual wytch gibberese.

"Red rum! Red rum!"
River circled the crew - the wheels on her tricycle squealing and squeaking and again with the squeaking.

"This piece of crap moon* so close to a black hole it's sucking the vocabulary right outta me!" Mal thought -- even as he folded and unfolded his arms again.

"Don't you be agreeing with me Mary-Sue - I mean, Zoe?"

Zoe said nothing - because she never does obviously but her mind rolled back the years to the pastoral days of the log cabin and all the endless autumn cliches you could wish for.

Mean time Simon was searching desperately through his bag for a hypo to inject the precedings with some vague dose of humour at least.

Kaylee gnashed her teeth and made other random seeming gestures (not unlike mal)...

meantime a ghastly forshadowed midget assassin was stealing up on them... his fingers clutching at pieces of metal. and for why - he wanted to know.

River meantime was dancing around talking to her finger and the little boy who lives in her mouth.

"Gorram it!" yelled Mal. "I asked for a Shindig -not the ruttin' SHINING."

Jayne meantime had fled to a superior level of characterisation.

The Operative is the son of [dramatic music cue] SHEPHERD BOOK! Who was ALSO, in the past life he doesn't have to tell Mal about... [dramatic music cue] an OPERATIVE!!! And... the Book that dies on Haven is... a BOT!

ALSO.... SO IS WASH! The real Book has had another Bot made in Wash's likeness JUST IN CASE a situation arose where Reavers might shoot sharpened telephone poles into the windshield of Serenity. He convinces Wash to the switch easily, pointing out that (very handy, completely shielded, and well-stocked) secret cave on Haven = relative safety, while Reaver space = not so much. In case of the bot surviving, Book has programmed it with a code phrase to differentiate it from Wash.... "I am a leaf on the wind...."

After all are reunited, Book creates a new dilemma for Mal and the crew of Serenity... "Help me find my son."

This turns out to be Inara's flesh and soon Mr Uni is getting it on with the Captain in a freaky NC-17 piece of zombie prawn.

Fortunately this comes to an end when Zoe walks in and puts a bullet into the back of Inara's head.

Now it's tense as Simon attempts to keep the comatose companion alive until Serenity makes it to the nearest hospital.

Will Inara survive yet another fatal fan cliff hanger?

River doesn't think so and beats everyone up in sight whilst singing Dr Seus books backwards.

I just had a typically brilliant idea!

Yes it did hurt but after a handfull of asperin and a bit of a lie down I'm better, thank you.

I was watching an epsode of Sherlock Holmes--Jeremy Brett & Edward Hardwicke, of course--when the idea hit me. Mal (and maybe Zoe) is arrested on a seemingly ironclad charge of murder and River gets to play Holmes, With Simon tagging along hopefully to keep her out of trouble--as if he would be needed--and to play Watson. I can just hear her "Elementry, my dear Simon. If you eliminate the impossable all that remains, no matter how improbable must be the truth."

I can also picture Jayne's reaction, wanting to bust him out by brute force and Simon has to slip him a tranc to keep him from hurting himsself.

Mimsy the widget? You are already my hero.

Serenity needs to be rehauled, preferably by Kaylee with no materials but chewing gum and foil. Twice. And River needs to tell her she's doing it wrong and she should really be fixing Simon.

Right before Simon goes into a hypersensitive hissy fit about this when...

Mal breaks in (bleeding) with a HUGE shipwide problem and for some reason Inara appears newly dressed in a PRACTICAL outfit that is her attempt at snorking the training house regulations which is 800 light years away and pulls Mal away into a quiet recess.

The ghost of Wash appears in the form of a tell-all tape that says what he only said before to his dinosaurs about his true feelings about each of the crew.

Oh--Original Characters need more of em. So Jayne can do the two things he does best. you fill that in.

I am truly shocked, hasn't anyone mentioned threesomes? Also needs more Simon, for example Simon always acts like he wants to be in control when really he yearns for Mal or Jayne or Both (wink wink) to bend him over a rail and ravish him. Simon has to painfully admit to Kaylee that he's gay only to decide later that he doesn't need to pick only one gender to have sex with. I also agree with whoever suggested that Simon have no sexual experience, this allows for Simon to be embarrassed and for his lover/lovers to comfort him by telling him ho amazing the sex was.

River decides she needs to birth a super-baby, with the combined genetic material of everyone on the crew, and drugs them with crazy-making-drugs. Wrong anatomy terms (pancreas! tibia!) and bodily functions (I recommend "respiration") are used, blood is referred to in place of any other fluids, characters describe impossible acts that they're doing out loud. A pineapple is involved, for some reason.

Similarly, freudian slips should be peppered throughout the rest of the fanfic.

Inara swears every other word. Her favourite swear should be "mother----er."

While on planet, they drive Serenity around like a truck. Wheels are inexplicably mentioned.

OMG, this thread was so funny! I was laughing til I cried!

Let's see, I could add:

Kaylee spouts techie gibberish: "I'm gonna hot-wire the freeze-ray to the live-mag catalyzer, spring it to the compressor coil and irradiate the tungsten relay. That should do it." Simon nods sagely, like he understands what she said, and Mal says "I need that in Captain Dummy talk." Jayne, in character as a Wise Man, says, "That IS Captain Dummy talk."

Simon pulls off a dramatic rescue in the infirmary: "Mal has bled out more blood than is contained within the human body, with or without adequate vacuuming systems, but I shall nonetheless save him with this high tech Neurovisionary-Proximaldistal-Medicaljargon Scanner that I conveniently picked up on the last underdeveloped backwater slum moon without so much as a temple built that we visited (again conveniently) just before we headed into this job, even though I had no reason to anticipate that we'd need one of those. Ever." Mal (waking up, despite having no blood and having just been saved from certain death): "Doc, I'm tired of being stuck in this gorram infirmary. I'm gonna be a stubborn wangbadan and go to my own bunk and engage in vigorous sexual activities with Inara/River/Simon/Jayne/Mary Sue." *proceeds to do so*

The writer... The writer thinks that proper characterization is to make characters act like stereotypes.

Zoe speaks JIVE. She declares herself a soul sistah, and her streetwise advice and warmth endear her to everyone she meets. Not as much as Kaylee, though, who's incorruptible pure pureness has allowed her to twice come back from the dead. JESUS STYLE.

In a very special episode, Mal turns out to be a raging racist. And a raging homophobe. And an alcoholic. And gay. Culminating in an abusive scene of ambiguous consent involving Jayne and Simon to show how depraved he's become. Book "cures" him of the last one using God's words (because, the story implies, the last one is so much worse than the other three). In gratitude, Mal tells Book he'll stop burning crosses outside his room. This is forgotten by the next chapter, and never mentioned again.

Bytemite, your contributions to The Most Awful Fic Ever are stellar in their awfulness. It takes true talent to sink to such depths. ;-) I especially love how in the "depraved Mal" scenario you've set out, all is forgotten by the next episode. Ha!

So here's another one:

Serenity crashes full-tilt into a planet, because no one can be bothered to keep watch on that ship, and the gorram proximity detector is STILL so bad that it doesn't signal anything until you're right on top of it. They don't even SEE that planet until it's too late to avoid the collision, and defying the laws of physics and ignoring the three-dimensionality of space, they are unable to, say, orbit the planet and end up plowing right into it.

The planet (since it is merely a stand-in for "town" in other genres) consists of only one town, only one climate zone, and only one type of topography. Don't matter that there's 90 degrees of north and south latitude available, and 360 degrees of longitude. It's entirely the same everywhere.

Having defied the laws of physics, it's now time to defy the laws of biology, and the crew miraculously survives the burning of uncontrolled re-entry AND the impact with the ground unscathed. They immediately head out to have adventures (not even having to unbuckle their seatbelts first, because who would use those anyhow?). Either that or they all DIE, and it's the Zombie crew that gets to have the adventures.

EB, I'm afraid I'm far from the worst this board has when it comes to intentional horror in literary form. I have just invited Mincingbeast to offer some ideas.

This is akin to someone arming a nuclear device during a carpet bombing run. Only hilarious as well as terrifying.

But, when it comes to violating the laws of physics and biology, such as the impossibility of having multiple fathers and mothers, I am a fan.

Therefore, I approve. And I think zombie crew might be great, because lots of people get annoyed by a kill them all scenario. But this would be especially bad if the crew can find a cure. For being dead.

Yeah.

After several awkward, earnest attempts at fanfic, of the sappiest and stupidest Mal/Inara variety, I concluded that the purpose of fanfic is to irritate. Not to work out the awful, unresolved sexual tension of Space Whore and her Asshole Captain.
