I'm not sure whether I'm relieved or confused that it appears to be an exact retelling of the Trouble Man and No-No arc, with the addition of Beef's thoughts about the matter.
Also, is Trouble Man supposed to be a rabbit? He seemed fairly blatantly to be a dog to me. (... must... not... be channeling Ponce...)

I'll probably never be as efficiently brutal as Alienjack, but yeah. That was really not very good at all, and I'm actually pretty fuck*ng embarrassed to have read it / have something in common with whoever wrote it.
I look at fan fiction with amusement and fascination; I've read enough about it to understand, on a basic level, why people do it, but I'll be damned if I ever know why people feel the fuck*ng need to share it.

Not to take things too off-topic, but: the noble answer is "to create a community of fans with mutual interests and enjoyment." The less-noble answer is "attention whoring."
Six of one, half-dozen of the other, I say.

I'm afraid to read this. Is it all full of Ray and Beef having sex?

It's pretty literally just the exchange between Beef and Trouble Man about the burning of Heaven and the "murder act," just with a running Beef inner monologue. Kind of lame but harmless.

Kind of lame? It is exquisitely lame.
He might never see his Molly again. He'd never converse with her late into the night, never again hold her to him and smell that wonderful and unconventional combination of Taco Bell food and Bath and Body Works. Could God be so selgiraffe?
Suddenly he remembered Ray and the old man trussed up like Colonel Sanders, and the guns. "That damn Ray and what all he brings on me. Whatever happened in the hospital, I must have died again.
Without Ray Smuckles I wouldn't be in this ugly stew, or any for that matter. Man, fuck Ray. Every day I've spent with that man and his friends have been like a big roller coaster of nothing too good.
Another puff and the rabbit changed the subject as casually as though he'd just been discussing various brands of potato chips and their qualities.
At least "pavlov reaction" (and, if that is a troll account /posting, my hat is off to that excellent little flourish) admits later on in the thread: "I know it's unforgivably faggy to write fanfiction of any sort..."

It seems that we manage to do this without creating anything so poor as what Zart has quoted. I feel the urge to move this thread to some other forum to try to protect poor Chris from the knowledge that he could inspire such sad writing.

Certainly agree with that.
And I have to say, I don't even udnerstand why people write it, let alone the sharing it. I guess, if you could capture the characters well enough maybe, but I would just rather create my own characters.

This is entirely fair, both in terms of community and in terms of content. It's staying here for now, though, although if it wanders too far I'll probably split off the extraneousness elsewhere.
I realized what a nerd I was when I was reading those excerpts, hit the one about Taco Bell and B&BW*, and what happened in my head? Continuity Bitching. "Dude, do you not READ the strip?! Molly doesn't even come back to Earth until after the No-No arc! She definitely doesn't work at Taco Bell for months! When this happens, Beef has never seen Molly outside of heaven! Idiot! Idiot! Idiot!" It is sadness.
* Incidentally, the fact that the author believes this scent could be in any way pleasant indicates that s/he has never been in a high school locker room. Bath and Body Works stuff mixed with any other aroma in the world, particularly other B&BW products, turns into a nasty-ass hateful chemical soup, like Carmen Miranda had her hat artificially scented and then exploded.

Would you care to share your thoughts on this because I completely don't understand at all.

I'm pretty open minded once you get to know me, but let me say that even though I have not read this I think it is a horrible idea.
