An unnecessarily thorough article on some murder mystery romance novel series. They've got a long chart detailing every single death in the series, including the cause of death, the exact weapons used, and who did it. As of this writing, the two main characters also have their own pages, though they actually decided to merge them with the series page last month, so those probably aren't gonna be around much longer.
Speaking of unnecessary character articles, both of the main characters in Brokeback Mountain have articles. Also having to do with Brokeback Mountain, Wikipedia has a section talking about how the author of the original story now regrets writing it because people kept sending her their shitty Brokeback Mountain fanfics. It's not really "dumb shit" but it did make me laugh.

Annie Proulx, author of the original 1997 short story, said a few years after the film's release, "I wish I'd never written it," because she has been sent too much fan fiction presenting alternative plots:
"[The film] is the source of constant irritation in my private life. There are countless people out there who think the story is open range to explore their fantasies and to correct what they see as an unbearably disappointing story."
She said the authors, mostly men who claim to "understand men better than I do", often send her their works:
"They constantly send ghastly manuscripts and pornish rewrites of the story to me, expecting me to reply with praise and applause for "fixing" the story. They certainly don't get the message that if you can't fix it you've got to stand it. Most of these "fix-it" tales have the character Ennis finding a husky boyfriend and living happily ever after, or discovering the character Jack is not really dead after all, or having the two men's children meet and marry, etc., etc."
