Line 9:
Note: It is a Hate Fic '''only if it covers an entire series'''. Examples that focus on a single character belong under [[Revenge Fic]].
{{examples}}
* One of the most famous examples is the [[EPU]] fanfic ''[[Neon Exodus Evangelion]]'', written in response to Gryphon's disgust for what he felt was the pointless nihilism of ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]].'' The man receives enough hatemail from enraged fanboys that if it were all paper, the rain forests would be screaming. [[Troll|He considers the fanfic a success.]]
** These days, it's generally met with either admiration or derisive laughter.
** There are even a few fanfics written that are hate fics against hate fics. An example includes ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6362692/1/Kyrie_Eleison Kyrie Eleison]'', which from the first paragraph states it was written to deconstruct fics like ''[[Neon Exodus Evangelion]]''.
* ''Chunin Exam'' and ''Partially Kissed Hero'' by Perfect LionHeart (aka [[Jared Ornstead|Jared "Skysaber" Ornstead]]) are both this in their core (for ''[[Naruto]]'' and ''[[Harry Potter]]'' respectively)... at least when they are not spewing his [[Evil Versus Evil|morality]] and [[Disproportionate Retribution|sense of "justice" and revenge]]. They tend to abound with [[Complete Monster]]s (including the protagonists), [[Straw Loser]]s, massive powerups, [[Plot Hole|plotholes]], [[Author Filibuster|long lectures of what sucks]] from the [[Canon]] and why, torturing/mutating the characters into copies of how they "should be" and loads and loads of cynicism. Fans are divided between those who believe the guy is a genius level writer (both fics have over 10,000 reviews) and the rest who believe he is pure evil and a deranged psychopath with very few touches of the actual canon.
** Some fans split the difference and consider him simultaneously one of the most talented worldbuilders and one of the single worst writers that they have ever seen. Seriously, if you want a clear example of the distinction between intelligently extrapolating and exploring the logical consequences of a fictional setting (yes), crafting a coherent and interesting plot (not only no, but hell no), or creating consistent and engaging characters (ia, ia, Cthulhu fhtagn!) read an Ornstead fic.
* A fanfiction of the video game ''Clock Tower 2: The Struggle Within'' had all the characters slaughtered by the characters from ''Clock Tower 1''. ''The Struggle Within'' is probably the least popular of the ''Clock Tower'' games.
