Every fan fiction author I know began writing deliberate badfic or crackfic (save for the like, two, who I know that conform to the stereotype and began writing mary sue romance).
*coughs self-consciously* All things considered, crackfic might be a better beginning! :)
This is where I also come around to the conclusion that I feel like 'crack' is slapped on things more often to excuse bad quality or poorly executed humor rather than purely bizarre humor.
Well put! I do think the line between "crack" and just plain "humor" is pretty fine and has a lot to do with the quality of the writing. And you know, I have no problem at all with writing that's done in the heat of the moment that's full of flaws and energy--it's not usually something I'll take the time to read, but I understand the impulse behind it and am always glad to see someone inspired to write, you know?
It does really feel like the universe is sometimes conspiring to keep anything from being written, doesn't it? Why gang up on us, universe? *shakes fist*
