I can't even string my hatred for this fic together.

Added Summary to the first set of information, as it's worthwhile information. Painful, but worthwhile.

Story Or Series Title: A Game of Soldiers
Fandom: Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi/Spirited Away
Culprit Author's Name: Tsunami pheonix
Summary: Chihiro's BACK! with a new name, a new attidude and a promise to seek out. she's BACK! she's BAD! she's a li'l bit PISSED! and her latest job is the best one of all - TORMENTING HAKU! (Saddest thing is that the summary has the best spelling and grammar in the entire thing.)

Full Name (plus titles if any): Cassiopaea Storm, the mercenary formerly known as Sen, the bathhouse worker formerly known as Chihiro Ogino.
Full Species(es): Punkass/"Hardcore" Sue Chihiro
Hair Color (include adjectives): "...[h]er long, chesnut hair was pulled in a high ponytail on top of her haid..."
Eye Color (include adjectives): "...Amber eyes..."
Unusual Markings/Colorations: None described
Special Possessions (if any): "Stylish" clothing that is described in needless detail, and her own possé of Mary Sue friends.

Annoying Origin: For unexplained reasons she was in the quote unquote Shadowlands for years, wherein she grew tough, mean, and hateful towards Haku. Yeah, I'm bashing my head into the wall, too.
Annoying Connections To Canon Characters: She's supposed to be Chihiro, but she has no remote connection to the actual character; for God's sake, she even has a Mary Sue name now.
Annoying Special Abilities: To warp Yubaba into an über-genki cheerleader-esque woman who greets 'Sen' lovingly and to screw irreversibly with canon, and to make Haku act like Scott "Anal-Retentive" Summers.
Other Annoying Traits: The author is attempting to make her character 'canon' when in fact she's tossed in a Mary Sue of her own creation and called it Chihiro/Sen/Whatever.

Please include a small sample of the worst of this story:



Yubaba's eyes widened amd she froze in shock for a minute, before wrapping her arms around the young woman and hugging her tight.

" You're back! You're back! Oh welcome back Sen!"

Sen looked up at the woman, gasping for breath.

"Yubaba...........lu..ngs.....BREATH!!!"

Yubaba, looking sheepish, let her go.

" Sorry. Wow Sen! how long has it been. you really have grown up! You're a lot different from the dopey brat I remember."

"It's been 14 years, Yubaba, and I think you've gone soft!" She said teasingly.

"Humph! What were you doing in the Shadowlands anyway? You're human, and the Shadowlands are in the East Quadrant of the Spirit World."

Sen's smile dissapated. Her eyes seemed to shine with unshed tears.

" Oh...I....A promise someone made was broken........and I came to find out why........but I ended up in a different part of the Spirit World......"

Suddenly, her face brightened.

"Enough remenicing. The real reason I'm here, is I'm taking some time off fighting and killing, and I decided if I could work here for a few months. not on contract or anthing, just......I miss it here."

Yubaba looked at her misty eyes, and found it impossible to refuse. she nodded.

" But please, Yubaba, don't let people other than you know my real name, or who I am. Not just yet..."



Workers turned and smiled in amusement as their master Haku shot down the corridoors, pursueing his quarry. Cassie skidded to a halt and bolted into the girls' bathing rooms. She collapsed in a heap at the feet of four beanbags, each occupied. Annamaria looked over the edges of her reading glasses at the lump at her feet. She nudged it with her foot. "So!" she said brightly, "how'd it go?". She was wearing brown, flared cordroys(A/Nsp?), and a baggy, offwhite shirt. She wore brown, summer sandles, and she had long, dark hair with even darker eyes.

"Yeah, how did he react?" The ever witty Ebony glnced at her, before going back to chatting with one of the yuna. She had black hair with silver tips, and silvery gray eyes. She wore a black, baby tee, with a purple fallen angel on the back. She had black trackkies that said 'BITCH' in pink writing across the bum. She had purple and silver sneakers.

" It must have been bad; you look like you were running away from death itself!" Remarked the blonde. Lizzi. She had shimmering blue eyes, and she wore a baby blue strap top with 'Soooooo not listening' on the front in pink. She had a baby pink skirt and white sneakers.

Her friend smirked. She had long, dark red hair streaked with black, and black eyes. She wore a red belly top with miffy on it. She had flared, maroon cordroys, and went bare foot. " She probobly was." Said Jess.

Cassie laughed. She was wearing black flared jeans with a emerald and white dragon weaving around one leg (A/N : we can all guess who that is can't we? lol!). She also wore a belly top, only hers was deep purple.

" Hey! You guys! I have an idea. Come here!" said Ebony, beconing them over to the door. They put their ears against the wood. They heard the liquid sound of Haku transforming, and then the whoosh of him flying through the roof. " Quickly!" she said beconing them out of the door. they left the door open and hid behind it in the corridoor. They placed their hands on the handle of the door, ready to slide it back.

With a mighty roar, Haku stormed through the window. "NOW!" yelled Ebony. Just as he was coming towards them, they slid the door shut. *SMACK* . . . *THUD*. The girls all laughed and cheered. " C'mon " gasped Jess, and they all staggered down the hall, laughing their heads off.

In the immortal words of many a Sue reporter at deleterius: I shit you not.

That is an actual fanfic at FFN. It has 25 reviews, the entirety of which are in praise for it; the two that offer any constructive criticism still praise Tsunami pheonix for her daring and new direction with this character. One, Chihiro was pretty damn cool in the movie canon; two, this "daring and new direction" has been plaguing Hermione Granger for years.

This is the worst fanfic I have read period in the past year. The grammar, spelling, tone, sentence structure, characterization, plot, and the canon are all butchered beyond recognition or nonexistent.

Godawful Fanfic Rating: 6/6 - congratulations, Tsunami pheonix, your fic is the first fully Godawful Fanfic here. I even considered raising the rating to 7/7, just for you.

Note to potcsues, if you're out there - don't know if you've already covered this, but she also has one hideous PotC Mary Sue here.
