For many fans, especially those who mostly read and post on AO3, Asianfanfics has a reputation of being a home to kpop badfic, including (but not inherently): reader-inserts and imagines. However, there are over 750,000 works labeled as a story on AFF, while AO3 currently has 90,000 kpop works.[6]
A tumblr, wtfasianfanfics, was set up to mock the worst stories on the site. wtfasianfanfics was active from 2012 to 2014.
