I would hope that a really terrible story would not make it past an editor into print in the first place. This is not always true these days with self-publishing, for writers who are determined to get into print no matter what anyone says. I have declined to review a couple of books where all I could do is point out condescendingly how bad the writing is.
If you want to read a really awful furry story, I think that "Solarion" by Edgar Fawcett is available for free on Google Books. Fawcett has been dead for over a hundred years, so you can't hurt his feelings.
Read Wikipedia on Amanda McKittrick Ros. They say that the Inklings -- C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien and their friends -- used to hold contests to see who could read the farthest into an Amanda McKittrick Ros novel without collapsing into laughter.
