It's been a while since I've read anything by an author I don't know well. I barely have time to read fic anymore anyway, so I'm definitely not going to mess with something that's bad. And if you've been in fandom any time at all, you can tell just how bad it's going to be from the summary, can't you?
The worst J2 story I ever read was one that I recorded a podfic of by request of someone else—this awful thing where Jensen was blinded in an on-set accident and consequently went full-on woobie—ye gods, it was awful. The really astounding thing was that it had a TON of comments. I could barely read the ridiculous overblown dialogue without laughing, much less with a straight face, which is kind of problem when you're reading out loud. Between that one and another podfic I did for a charity auction, I learned my lesson about trying to podfic stories I didn't absolutely love. But that's kind of off the subject.
