Parody fic

Parody fic is a type of fanfic that satirizes or otherwise makes fun of a common trope in fanfiction. These often include Suefics, crossovers, and slash; some parody fics purposefully mock a particular badfic or even certain badfic writers.

A parody fic that is well done can be sidesplittingly funny; but if done poorly, it is as bad, or occasionally worse than what it is making fun of in the first place.

Claiming, if challenged, that your fic is a parody will not generally get it out of being badfic. If it was bad enough that someone had to ask, that tends to mean that the parody aspect has been done badly.

Bad parodies are taken care of by the Department of Bad Parody.
