Looks like what we have for first spork of the month is a slash fan. It goes to show you that it's not only the sues that make the decent saiyuki ficcers want to die. I was trying to find something different besides your regular mystic goddess/powerful and deadly demon/four girls who got sucked in saiyukiverse through a toaster sort of storyline. So, I dug up to the older pages of the Saiyuki section in the The Pit of Voles. I found this gem...
and now I want to burn my eyes with fire.
Title of Theabomination of nature Fanfic: i don't have a title for this yet ...Well, you already know it's headed for the dogs if the author *actually* uses this line for a title.
Name of Theculprit Author: ilikeslashandblood Well, wait a while. I'll be able to cry buckets of it after I read this fic. I'll hand them over.
How theabomination of nature fic goes: HIATUS. School right now. But I promise. I'll finish this. SLASH gojyosanzo gojyohakkai. mild language. Sanzo loves Hakkai but Hakkai loves Gojyo who er.. loves both Sanzo and Hakkai. Which is a big problem. Chapter 11 is up. yeah, update, update! XD How can something so simple become so wrong...?
Your fic makes me want to say:

Reasons for Sporking
1. The storyline is a bit hackneyed but it's nothing you can't look past if it was written properly. The problem is, that it isn't. The way it was written doesn't prove any sort of effort behind it. There are no details, the narrative is sloppily done and boring. It's bad enough that your plot is overly used and is in the danger of making everyone go out of character, you then proceed with forgetting the whole 'show, don't tell' rule of writing. When you write, you include the characters emotions, thoughts and gestures (and the reasons behind the gestures). There are a lot more things to consider like describing the setting and the people involved. It's good that you want to get to the point of your story, but don't make it seem like you're not even trying.
2. Everyone's a cardboard cut out, much to the ficcer's futile attempts to try and make them act in character, except for poor Hakkai (we'll get to him later). Gojyo and Sanzo are acting like they're in Dawson's Creek instead of Gensoumaden Saiyuki. They can't seem to make up their minds if they want to screw each other stupid or not, which to me is just quite confusing as they're the two people who don't really like beating around the bush and holding themselves back to do what they want to do. They're acting like wangsty love-stricken teenagers, forgetting that they have bigger problems that don't involve trying to hook up with each other. Ficcer? Sanzo and Gojyo "hate" each other's guts (okay, maybe NOT hate. More like they would NEVER get along unless they REALLY had to). If they do end up in a relationship, it won't be MUCH of a relationship because they will obviously be using each other for sex (great sex, but sex nonetheless). They do not wangst and mope, cry and wail about the other party not wanting to become his twu wub. They will screw around and leave each other alone. Sanzo isn't a man known for wanting attachments (except with Goku, mind you) though he does in a way show concern for his other teammates. Gojyo doesn't like Sanzo's way of enforcing authority. They would handle this situation in a different way. That's just that.
3. What's with Hakkai acting like the puppeteer and ebil manipulator? I know he's a bit on the sarcastic side and he has quite the sharp sense of humor. But mind games like this would not be on his hobby list. He's a lot nicer than that and he's somewhat self-sacrificing. He would allow Gojyo to choose over him and Sanzo if that were the case and remain his loyal companion no matter what the choice would be. Sure, it'd hurt him a lot, but - I doubt he'd end up cursing them to hell and leaving the group because of something like that. Hakkai is also aware that they have a bigger problem besides deciding who ends up with who. It's called The Gyuumao Resurrection project, ficcer. Remember that? He wouldn't try to mess with their heads like this and become all ebil just to break them apart. He'd spare them the pain and aggravation. He's mature that way. Please stop bastardizing him just so you can try (operative word: try) and make your fic exciting.
4. If Gojyo even tried to call Sanzo cute? He'd be dead. In an instant. Sanzo would not end up wanting to have wild sex with him after that. He'd just... die. Gojyo does not call Sanzo 'Sanzo-san'. That is too polite. Gojyo does NOT act polite towards Sanzo... or anyone else for that matter.
5. I see bad three way sex which is soon to be written as in chapter ten, the author tries to disguise the badness of her fic with Hakkai tripping and kissing Sanzo. I know it was an attempt at humor, but it doesn't fit anywhere in the story - unless you were aiming for a threesome, which is probably how the fic will end. Nice, try. It's still really... bad.
6. I suspect that Goku has been tied up and locked in a wooden closet somewhere for recognizing the other three as clones of the REAL Sanzo, Gojyo and Hakkai. He really is hardly in this fic and shows up for two chapters to look for Sanzo and to look for food.
( Erm... Yeah, nice try, ficcer. Your story is still bad )
( This is not Fushigi Yuugi... This is Gensoumaden Saiyuki )
