"The Worst Piece of Science Fiction ever".
Well, Malach has found the world famous story The Eye of Argon. I have not read it since being a teen, and hae just reread it. So bad it is good. It reads as poorly as the worst days of Friday Night Roll Playing.

With prose like:

The trek to Gorzom was forced upon Grignr when the soldiers of Crin were leashed upon him by a faithless concubine he had wooed. His scandalous activities throughout the Simarian city had unleashed throngs of havoc and uproar among it's refined patricians, leading them to tack a heavy reward over his head.

and

Eyeing a slender female crouched alone at a nearby bench, Grignr advanced wishing to wholesomely occupy his time. The flickering torches cast weird shafts of luminescence dancing over the half naked harlot of his choice, her stringy orchid twines of hair swaying gracefully over the lithe opaque nose, as she raised a half drained mug to her pale red lips.

Read all it's glory here, if you dare

I am Malach spilling you "crimson droplets of escaping life fluid" on a daily basis with my "lithe opaque nose".
