Sod Rest Ye Merry, Brethren
Author:Neshomeh
Tune:“God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen” (trad. English)
Year:2006–2007

Sod rest ye merry, brethren,
All Flow’rs of sentient race,
And with a cause of common good
The plotholes now embrace
To save the ’verse from badfic’s pow’r
When rent is time and space—

Oh tidings of portal and ploy,
Portal and ploy,
Oh tidings of portal and ploy!

In Headquarters, in Upstairs-realm,
This covenant was made:
When Sunflower and others all
The Makes-Things Man they bade
Turn clever hands to mighty work,
Protectors now to aid—

Oh tidings of portal and ploy,
Portal and ploy,
Oh tidings of portal and ploy!

From Planet Earth, from Ar’El Land,
Two human girls, they came
To Makes-Things’ lab by portal erred,
And agents they became:
Into a fic, to kill a Sue,
By mission earned the name—

Refrain

“Fear not, then,” said the agents twain,
“Twisteth ye not thy roots,
For from our planet surely ye
May get ye more recruits
To free those canons suffering
As badfic ’verse dilutes—”

Refrain

The Flowers at those tidings
Rejoicèd much in mind,
And on planets both far and near,
Protectors they did find
To join the cause of common good,
The fandom worlds to mind—

Refrain

Then grew the org’nization
Unto proportions vast,
And formèd they departments
With structure built to last,
And so, with Flow’rs and agents all
Together, years they passed—

Refrain

So sing you now great praises,
All you within this place,
And with love and insanity
Each canon now embrace:
Each ’verse belovèd by the pure,
Which others doth deface—

Refrain

Respect the Laws of Narrative,
And send them long to reign,
And many a happy goodfic may
You live to see again
Among the Flow’rs and agents
Who’ve not yet gone insane—

Someone bless you and send you a happy new year,
Happy new year,
Someone send you a happy new year.

Suff’ring Through a Badfic Once Again
Author:Rez Montrose
Tune:“Winter Wonderland” by Felix Bernard and Richard B. Smith
Year:2006–2007
Hear it:Performed by Keily!

Console screams, are you listening?
In our hands, swords are glistening
A horrible sight, we’re wary tonight
Suff’ring through a badfic once again.

Disappeared is our true girl
Here instead is a new girl
She sings a rock song, as she goes along
We’re suff’ring through a badfic once again.

In the forest there will be a palace
And inside we’ll find our Mary Sue
She’ll be unaware of all our malice
Until we catch her and we run her through.

Later on, we’ll conspire
As we watch the fic transpire
To kill that Sue dead, with a shot to the head,
For suff’ring through a badfic once again!

We Wish You a Fun Sue-Killing
Author:Nscangal
Tune:“We Wish You a Merry Christmas” (trad. English)
Year:2006–2007

We wish you a fun Sue-killing
We wish you a fun Sue-killing
We wish you a fun Sue-killing and a fandom repaired.

Good Bleeprin we bring to you and your kin
Bleeprin after killing and the fandom’s repaired

Oh bring us her pretty scalp now
Oh bring us her pretty scalp now
Oh bring us her pretty scalp to put on a belt!

We wish you a fun Sue-killing
We wish you a fun Sue-killing
We wish you a fun Sue-killing and a fandom repaired.

Good Bleeprin we bring to you and your kin
Bleeprin after killing and the fandom’s repaired

We’ll put her death on display
We’ll put her death on display
We’ll put her death on display and celebrate it.

We wish you a fun Sue-killing
We wish you a fun Sue-killing
We wish you a fun Sue-killing and a fandom repaired.

Good Bleeprin we bring to you and your kin
Bleeprin after killing and the fandom’s repaired!

Where Are You Punctuation?
Author:Keily
Tune:“Where Are You, Christmas?” by Mariah Carey, James Horner, and Will Jennings
Year:2006–2007

Where are you, period?
Why can’t I find you?
Why have you gone away?
Where is the grammar
in this here fanfic?
What is she trying to say?

Structure needs changing
Words rearranging
Why are there apostrophes, too?

Where are you, comma?
Do you remember
when you were used properly?
It’s just not the same
This sentence is lame
You just get abused so easily!

Semicolon is here
Everywhere
Hyphen is here
If you care
There is no love for the little dotted marks
And the space bar is fed to the sharks

I need you, punctuation
It’s the only way
That I can stay sane
The joy of punctuation
Makes a fanfic good
Or at least better than usual

Where are you, punctuation?
This sentence just sucks.
