The Worst Science Fiction/Fantasy Story of All Time?
Dear God let's hope so.
For your reading plea...uh...for your reading, Philosoraptor presents "The Eye of Argon," by Jim Theis. (via Metafilter)
Apparently this comes from somewhere near the Ozarks, thus constituting yet another feather in the cap of the rich literary tradition of my people.

Best descriptive phrase: "huge, outcropping breasts". Thank you, Winston, for that.
I think that story gets my vote for the activity that constitutes the fullest waste of one's time that I've seen yet.
"sprinkling the parched dust with crimson droplets of escaping life fluid.
The enthused barbarian swilveled about, his shock of fiery red hair tossing robustly in the humid air currents as he faced the attack of the defeated soldier's fellow in arms."
My guess: he is 12 years old and used a thesaurus before finalizing each sentence, which he initially composed with entirely monosyllabic words.
I only read the first couple of paragraphs, but really, there's way too many interesting things to read to read that. lol.
For instance "sprinkling the parched dust with crimson droplets of escaping life fluid" would be:
"blood flew on to the dry land"
It probably took him months to compose that disaster, too.
