BAD FAN FICTION
Bad Fan Fiction is a collection of original fan fiction stories with ridiculous premises, amateurish prose, and needlessly specific references to minuscule aspects of the IP off which they're based. We’ve written every story to make you laugh, shake your head, and whisper "my god" in earnest. There are also pictures, because you're never too old for pictures.
This is the perfect book to throw on your coffee table for guests, slip in the bathroom for when your phone’s charging, or read aloud for your friends to laugh and jeer at. Truly a book for all seasons.
After a successful Kickstarter campaign, Bad Fan Fiction is now available to purchase online! It’s the perfect gift for that person who always says “I don’t know” when you ask what they want.
What’s inside
Within these 204 pages of premium recycled paper live 39 short stories covering a wide variety of fandoms. Maybe you're into Harry Potter, or maybe you're into The Sims 2 for PC, or maybe you're into 90s nu metal-turned-alt pop band Sugar Ray. We have something for everyone!
Now to discuss the elephant in the room: Fan fiction has a reputation for being not only bad, but also very very very very sexual and disgusting. But not to worry, because Bad Fan Fiction comes with the Smut-Free Guarantee. The fics included are all safe for work and most children. You can give our book to anyone you know and it won't be awkward, as long as that person can handle some PG language and characters who are really good at kissing and also have cat eyes.
