    That's more than likely one of the author's fantasies?

    So no? He or she must be locked into a room with something with tits.

    I dragged my DLP account up from the depths of oblivion to post this, and I'm sure you can see why it moved me so. But the pièce de résistance is one of the author's other works:
    She sujects go reading her story. I do not. It is both hopelessly bad and gruellingly predictable, and I felt myself becoming stupider with every line. The poem, on the other hand, is both brief and humorous (if only unintentionally so).

    So she wrote a poem for English and decided to post it in the Harry Potter section because it's about a Harry Potter OC she created... Is that like even considered FF anymore?

    Am I the only one laughing?

    I like her dictionary fic more.
    Also, there's this gem:

    So, you found not a bad fic writer, but an aspiring authoress who writes fanfiction of her own books by crossing them over with Harry Potter.


    Hmm, that is an interesting question - has any well known author ever written fanfiction for his own works? As in a crossover with some other universe?
    (Does Jim Butcher's Broken Circle count - it's not a crossover, right?)

    (It could lead to a more interesting/controversial topic - what do you think about advertising your works this way?)

    I think someone did do this.

    When FF was updated and it became possible to search by reviews, I remember searching for like the highest reviewed stories and stumbled upon a Twilight story (I think it was Twilight). The author had made an AU story gotten a lot of reviews so they like removed all the actual chapters but left summary (I guess it was their way of bragging) and I guess renamed the characters and title to something original.

    In essence, they tried to create an AU with another author's work but when their story got "too popular" they decided to take all the credit.

    Fifty Shades of Grey wasn't what I was talking about.

    In fact, it is safe to assume that it won't be relevant to any topic you are posting about in DLP. Or anywhere else.


    Your example is the opposite case of what I mean.
    Writing a fic that ends up as an original book is one thing.
    Having a book first, and writing fiction about it afterwards is another.

    Just because, I clicked on it.

    You'd think the two sites were ran by the same people or something. :awesome

    Seriously? That's the best example of the dialogue in the story?

    Harry and Draco are madly in love and now they're expecting a baby. How will the rest of Hogwarts react to their forbidden passion, and what will Voldemort do when he learns of their child? MPREG

    It took me a minute to stop laughing. These 13 year old school girls really have wonderful imagination.

    He'll imprint on it, establish some sort of soul-bond, and be an over-protective yet doting pedophile for a few months until the child reaches the end of its magically-hastened childhood. The fully grown Mary/Gary Stu will then proceed to heal his tortured heart, promptly ending the war. They'll make sweet sweet love repeatedly, have some babies (ass babies or otherwise), and everyone will live happily ever after.

    The End.

    This sounds oddly familiar, but I can't think where I've heard it before...

    Rofl Scrubb. Here is another summary I found.

    Lily's Child » by Fluffy Green Thing reviews
    Harry looks like Lily instead of James, the Dursleys aren't fat, Snape is nice, Dumbledore is evil... Future Drarry, Rated T just in case. Future Lemons! Weasley Bashing!

    Roflmao :)

    I guess she's counting on people following her from the first story, because she's not getting any (intelligent) new readers from this uninformative and thoroughly un-entertaining summary. :facepalm

    Honestly, I don't know why I go to FFN anymore. It takes me forever to sort through the mountains of Drarry, Dramione and Snarry blasphemy, the polls and MSTs which are both against the rules, the *-Reads-The-Books plagiarism-for-toddlers fics which should be against the rules, the songfics...

    Trying to find something decent to read at FFN is like trying to get clean drinking water out of the sewer by filtering out the turds and tampon applicators with your teeth: You might find some, but you will have thoroughly poisoned yourself in the process.

    If you think that metaphor was too graphic, you're wrong; it was nowhere near graphic enough. If you think it was tasteless, then I can only say, "Apropos, wasn't it?"

    Oh god, this story is horrible. The review is just the beginning, the actual story is even worse. Here's a quote from the beginning.
