    I was surfing around YouTube today and found this. It's not anything perverted or gross or slashy, but I do have one warning. It's VERY sappy. I think someone is taking their fanfiction a little too seriously.

    Yeah I've seen that. It was full of fail, turned me off the fic quicker than a bad first chapter.

    Ew.

    I agree with afrojack; seeing a trailer like this would make me not even plunge into the first chapter. Saying that, with a trailer like this, how good a story could it be.

    A shit trailer, but (s)he did use Within Temptation for the soundtrack, which is one of my favorite groups.

    I don't think this trailer does full justice to the sheer "bleh" of the fanfic - nor is this trailer one of the top 7000000 fanfic trailers out there. I've seen a few fantastic trailers, essentially all for terrible stories. Why isn't anyone creating a trailer for Shadows of Dark Harry Hiding in the Girls' Showers? Or Attack of the Fleur Clones? If I had the time or ability, you better bet I might care enough to create such a movie. But probably not.

    Fanfic trailers? Is this...a new thing or am I thankfully not as far into the fandom as I thought?

    On the trailer itself; yeah, not gonna happen. Better things to do than read a story with a trailer that...blah.

    I get credit for managing to sit through this without doing a Hara-Kiri

    I REALLY hope that was not a serious video. On a related note, the song was done exceedingly well for a parody.

    That was the worst thing I've ever seen, who would actually waste their time doing that!

    I did laugh when it showed a real home which was just a random picture of a mansion and was scared shitless when it cut to ginny weasley waking up.

    I have to agree but it's still incredibly sad someone actually spent the time to create a video like this. *shakes head in disbelief*

    I never really had the motivation to ponder over which backstreet boy or hogwarts student was gay and I'm not going to start now! :D

    p.s. Just thought I'd point out that the director was sexist; he/ she never used a lesbian in any of his shots! (I'm not including Draco in that remark)

    ...I don't think I'll waste my time waiting for it to load but it sure sounds terrible.

    Okay so the second I hear "Bring Me to Life" my mouse hand moved towards the close window button of its own will. No.

    This video is past the level of retarded. It's at the point where even mentally retarded people would say, "Damn, this shit is fucked up." I hate Evanescence with all my being even though I'm pretty sure it isn't healthy to do this. But they're just cheap, emo knockoffs of AFI. Who was pretty good until they sold out after decemberunderground.

    Anyway, this 'trailer' is chock-full of cancer inducing rays. If you haven't watched it yet. For the love of god don't. Because if you do, even Satan would shake is head at you and call you a poor bastard of a moron.

    I shall be scarred for the rest of my mortal life.:wall:

    I must have missed out on something by not having my sound on. All I saw was a collection of clips from the movies. I guess there was lame commentary or music or something?
