Subject: FF.net netspeak stories and some badfic to stay on-topic

Just curious. For those of you who report netspeak/non-spellchecked stories at FF.net, how do you classify the abuse type? I don't believe in reporting someone for a few typos, but some of these are getting ridiculous in their lack of ability to spell or use a spellchecker. As I said before, they're not even trying to write or submit stories, they're just puking up crap and posting it and waiting for all the good reviews.

And to throw in some new badfic, I present the following:

<a rel=nofollow target=_blank href="http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=1597974">Folow The Yellow Brick Road</a>. Here's the opening: <i><p>
It was a normal day in Mimi s room...or so she thought

Mimi:OMG SORA,TK WAKE UP!!!

if u haven't noticed Sora and TK r ova at Mimi's 4 a sleepover Kari,Sakura r in someother place so I'm not gonna mention them

Mimi:But u just did

shut up Mimi!

Mimi:Whateve,SORA WAKE UP!!!

Sora & TK :I'm up I'm up now what !!

Mimi:We're in a cyclone!!!Look!

Sora and tk turned to see dust and utter choas outside.

Sora & tk:COOLIO!!!

</i><p>
I don't care if the author is 13 years old. 13 is old enough to know better than this.

<a rel=nofollow target=_blank href="http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=1597972">people change</a> is a Harry Potter story. Hermione finds out she's adopted so she's sent to 'Slytherine' and curses a lot. Lots of mini-trolls..mini-balrogs...whatevers. There's Goyal, Pansey and Dumbledor.

I'm still trying to figure out exactly how <a rel=nofollow target=_blank href="http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=1559450">Salesdude</a> qualifies as fan fiction. It has the type of humor typically found in elementary school playgrounds, but it's not fanfiction.

<a rel=nofollow target=_blank href="http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=1588999">Holiday</a> is a romance featuring two fangirls and the members of their favorite band in a Real Person story. The girls go on vacation, meet the members of their favorite band, fall in love and get engaged. All in four paragraphs! You can imagine the character development and drama.

<a rel=nofollow target=_blank href="http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=1218117">No Sanity Allowed</a> is a "random" story. This means it's supposed to be stupid and make no sense. But it's got 406 reviews. Makes me want to cry.

<a rel=nofollow target=_blank href="http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=1597274">A New Weapon</a> is LOTR badfic where Legolas, a sulky teenager, feels abused and neglected and joins forces with min-balrog Saurumon.

I think I'll go hide under my bed now.
