Wattpad

Where talentless 13-year-old girls (most often "directioners") can post their idiotic stories about two of the One Direction boys in a gay romance.

These crappy, immature, illiterate nobodies proceed to write completely-predictable, unoriginal garbage, and happen to get around 100,000 reads, 100,000 votes, and 100,000 comments about how amazing the stories are (I'm surprised their little brains can even tell the works apart, considering they're all the same). These comments consist of things like "omg ur SO talnted", "oh wander wutll hapn necst", and "right MOAR!" (please don't).
And to beat it all, the very few half-decent writers on the garbage site get about five reads if their story isn't about vampire-werewolf love triangles or One Direction fanfiction. Way-to-go, Wattpad!

Random girl: OMG wattpad is so cool!
Me: Actually, it's crap. Get off there, before it rots your brain any farther.

Random girl reading book: I'm reading this new book called "Secret Wings"!

Me: What's happened so far?
Random girl: Well, this girl Hailey has no mom. It says, "The only thing that could be called unusual in her life was that her mother had disappeared into thin air not long after Hailey's birth." I can't IMAGINE what will happen!
Me: Well, taking from both the title and that cruddy "foreshadowing" you just gave me, the main character will have something happen to her that reveals she is some mythical creature, go on some dumb quest to find her mother, and after a whole lot of garbage, be reunited with her mother.
Random girl: Yeah, well I bet that doesn't happen!
-Ten minutes later-
Random girl: Oh my gosh! She's a fairy!
-Twenty minutes later-
Random girl: Yes! She's found her mother!
Me: God, help us.

To help you imagine Wattpad, this "story" is actually in second place for Fantasy.

Fanfiction

Stories (usually utter crap) that wannabe 11-year-old "writers" post on websites for literate people to cringe over. They are most often created so some idiotic girl wishing she was half-talented can talk herself into believing she's actually pretty good (to beat it all, people will actually READ and PRAISE her for it). Other times, they are made because: the girl can't come up with her own storyline or characters, so she copies and trashes the author's; she wants to see her favorite characters have sex so she will get extra views from full-time masturbators, or possibly she simply hates the readers and/or the author and wants to disgrace literature. The best-deemed fanfiction are a combination of all three.

Why do English teachers dislike fanfiction?

Because they're literate.
