This thread is back from the dead, eh?
Well, I'll at least contribute meaningfully to it now that it has returned. One of the absolute most awful things I've ever had the displeasure of reading, it's a crossover between Power Rangers and Metal Gear. It's called "A Snake Among Rangers."
The author saw fit to not only insert herself once, but twice into the story, as two different characters. The second is some weird furry thing, but the first one is the real "gem." It's her own original Power Ranger character. Who is overpowered beyond belief. She is a half-goddess (literally, her father is Zeus), a Power Ranger, can control the elements, has a robot arm that can turn into any weapon ever, can create clones of herself (and gains all the knowledge that the clones obtain while they exist), is telepathic, telekinetic, and has even more powers that escape me at the moment.
I don't know why Zordon needed a team of Rangers with this character existing because she can take down any villain single-handedly, and it's not even a challenge. Also everyone is horribly out of character on the Power Rangers side (it happens in the PRiS continuity), and possibly on the Metal Gear side too but I don't know. The plot is dumb, basically Revolver Ocelot wants to kidnap the author's self-insert to get her DNA to create super soldiers. Also Andross yells at Zeus which is probably not a smart thing to do but he does it anyway.
It's bad. And the worst part is that it's apparently still being written. And the author is in like her late 20s. I feel bad for her because it's clear she has mental problems if she's still writing this trash...I mean if she was like 15 it'd be bad but then I'd just say "Oh she'll grow out of it."
