    Link.

    I'm not sure what I think about these, but some of the jacket covers are hilarious. China may not be as weird as Japan, but its bootleg industry is just bizarre.

    And yet, seeing Harry riding a giant T-Rex actually made me want to read the synopsis.

    So...batshit insane fanfics, given really weird covers and then sold, presumably making a ton of cash? It's different, I'll give them that.

    Actually, to be fair, some of them were fairly standard (bad) fanfictions. It's just the fact people are making money off them that's unusual.

    Am I the only one who saw Harry on the T-rex and thought 'Chinese bootleg of Dead Beat'?

    Nope. Christ, can you image the weird Chinese bootleg version of a polka-powered T-rex?

    :awesome

    You guys think "My Immortal" could get a boot-leg copy too? I'd buy it, just for the novelty of having it.

    Good lord. People are actually making money off of fanfiction. Though seriously, I would like to read that last one just for the lulz.

    Somebody kill these people.

    Please?

    My Immortal - you can laugh at it. It's funny as well as sad. This... this is just sad. The ideas are lulzy, but these sell.

    Edit:

    Animagus form?

    guys didn't you know, half of these are better than cannon.

    I'm personally a fan of "Rich Dad, Poor Dad and Harry Potter"

    Better than cannon? Could be...

    Harry Potter riding a Tyrannosaurus Rex is actually a pretty cool cover.
