abstract
  • Bad biology in fanfiction is exactly what you would think it is: improper portrayal of organisms. Bad biology may affect anatomy, physiology, genetics, diseases, and more. It is a common source of squick. Fics with poor biology are encountered by most departments, but fics where biological charges are the main issue usually end up in the Department of Bad Slash or Division of Bad Het, since they handle stories that revolve around the fundamentally biological processes of sex and (sometimes) reproduction. It is arguable that the Department of Mary Sues sees the most illogical genetics, which is a standard feature of many Mary Sues. While biology is a topic that is taught in most schools, for some reason it escapes many writers... and even if one did not study biology in school, ignorance is not an excuse when resources are just a click away on the Internet. In this respect, it's similar to bad psychology.
