Worst fanfic EVER.

jezzraSo, I'm sure in your day as a fanfic reader or author (as most all of you are that would have chance to read this), you've come across some fics where the author tried, but is simply REALLY BAD. And I'm referring to the ones that are not simply unpolished, or where the beta missed a word....but where the author is simply BAD. In general, I do appreciate the effort of people that are not actually skilled authors to make the attempt at creating something for other fans to enjoy. Really. Practice makes perfect, everyone starts somewhere, the only bad fics are the ones never told...
Until this. THIS TRAVESTY.
It broke my brain, I think, but I kept reading to see how far down the spiral it could go. It hit bottom and started to dig. It may have even come out the other side. It's a Harry Potter fic - but even if you aren't a fan of the series, please, I urge you, read this fic.
What's worse....after doing a little digging and whatnot, in an attempt to figure out if this was a trollfic (because its really THAT BAD), I have to say that I came to the conclusion that no. No, it is not actually a trollfic. The author is serious. This is an actual serious attempt at fanfiction.
What is this I don't even...
This link is for a complete, preserved repost of the original story, as ff.net took the original down due to the sheer number of flames. I lost the page I had from the original author, but she wrote a sequel too.
I can't help it. I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry. Help.

It does make me feel better, though. No matter how down I am, I will never write anything THIS BAD.
