Horrible Fanon Childhood Showdown, Round 1

I'm stopping collecting nominees and making the poll now because we have 42 entrants and that is, of course, an auspicious number. Even though it will probably make the math difficult at some future point.

Remember, we are looking for the worst FANON childhood here--no arguments from canon! In fact no arguments whatsoever: RADIO BUTTONS.

ETA: Poll is closed as of 11AM CST. Results will be tabulated and the next round will be up this afternoon!

Poll #1895 Whose fanon childhood was more miserable?

...Brendon Urie? RLY?

SATD fics don't count.

Also, I've read LOTS in both Sentinel and due South, and Jim totes beats out Fraser. By a lot.

But reading SATD fics about Brendon Urie's family beating him up and deserting him to live on the streets/in a one-room flat with no heat and no roof, where he has to support himself with prostitution, all while pretending to the rest of Panic that he's just fine, no rly! is one of my favorite ways to spend a morning! SATD should totally count.

IDK, I somehow keep getting the fics where ryro is horribly abused and addicated to drugs and is suicidal (and spencer has eating disorders) and bden saves him.

and then they have rly awkward sex.

*snort* Honey, even the GOOD fic veers into OTT territory with Brendon's teenage years. He lives in an apartment building with crack whores! ON LESS THAN A PACKAGE OF RAMAN A DAY! And it is ALWAYS because his parents kick him out, not because he is stubborn and leaves. AND HE NEVER HAS ANY FRIENDS! EVER! His bandmates are the first people EVER to befriend him! Srsly, I am shocked as HELL that I haven't run across any seekrit cutter stories yet. I think that is probably because I DON'T read SATD, but I SHUDDER to think on what I would find there. (SATD TOTES counts btw. Summarily wishing entire groups out of fandom is actually creepier than their characterization is. *g*)

Although I will agree that Ryan Ross's faux childhood angst is probably a MILLION times worse. And I am SO glad to have been reading the wrong (right?) Due South fic, because I don't know of ANY that feature Vecchio's horrid backstory that is worse than canon. And I don't think I want to! DDDD:

That's because all the secret cutter fics star Ryro. (And I've seen 2 w/spencer)

Fine. Even if SATD counts, Bden doesn't have anywhere NEAR as bad of a time as RyRo.

I've read ONE fic w/Vecchio having an absolutely horrid worse then Canon childhood.

(Honestly, I've read a lot of RayK was horribly!abused fic, so if it's anyone in dS, it's RayK).

Only because almost everyone in fandom thinks Kowalski is so sexy and hot and thinks RayV is ugly, so they'd rather see the "cute" one suffer. Fandom is stupid! I hate the abused Kowalski fics because they're so against canon and bash Mr. and Mrs. Kowalski. I don't get that at all!
