I have a new favorite author, and it has nothing to do with his/her writing abilities (which are decent).

No, what interests me is that the author is a troll.

0-SlytherinGurl-0 writes stories where the summary implies slash, dramione, or any other silly cliche trope, then goes on to troll those who read the intended genre.

Instead of superhot HP/SS slash (*vomits*) you get Snape having sex with a porcupine. Gross, but still funny.

A couple of the stories have been linked in the WTF fics thread, but I felt that the author's catalog as a whole deserved more attention then was generated by a passing reference in the sick and perverse forum.

Enjoy, and be sure to read the reviews. They're as funny, or even funnier, than the stories themselves.

-PP

PS. I may or may not be plugging an IRL friend's work. Oops, did I say too much?

Edit: I'm not sure why the link didn't work right, but oh well. I fixed it.

 

In times past, neopyro put out a challenge to burn the slash-addicted fangirl set with a Mary-Sue kill-off.

This author seems to be following the spirit of that enterprise. The reviews are as good entertainment as the stories.

 

Why do you care?

 

They were quite lolworthy. The reviews are just as good as the story, as butthurt slashfans are butthurt. (pun intended)


:awesome

 

?

Banned, or broken link?

 

Here is a better link. http://www.fanfiction.net/u/2257082/0_SlytherinGurl_0

 

Excellent. His/her favourite authors seem to be pretty much in order, as well.

 

Bah, I seem to be the first one not to like this.

If you do this, put some effort in it. I didn't find this funny mostly. At least try to suck the readers in a bit more and don't just use the summary only. It's been done before and it's been done better.

Also reviews weren't even that funny this time. I guess I've read too many of the same.
And if the next one is representative for the anti slash/mpreg side of the argument ...

Whatever the content, you just come across as retarded when typing stuff like that. No offense, Lord Anarchy.

A redeeming factor is him having a link to the DLP C2 in his profile.

 

As they support DLP's awesome C2, I support their awesome trolling.

@Stripe Tell them to stop lurking and write an intro.

EDIT:

Truth.

 

I didn't find any of the stories to be particularly brilliant, but they're pretty simple trollfics, so awesomeness is not really expected. As with all trollfics, the reviews are really what makes you laugh hard.

..? What?

Buh?

Do they think that 'slash' refers to the / used to denote pairings between characters? Waa?

 

I for one loved Lord Anarchy's response.

4/5 for this author. While he enjoys writing flamebait, his flamebait isn't that good in that it attracts too few Butthurt! slash reviewers.

So author if your out there, come to WBA to make your stuff even more troll worthy! Many of us are fans who love your work!

 

That's what the term 'slash' originally referred to.

Way, way way back in the old days, when a 300baud acoustic coupler was the epitomie of electronic communications, it was a fairly common term used on BBSs that catered to fanfic.

 

So, either the reviewer is an old-timer web vet, or maybe the reviewer is an idiot.

Toss up.

 

Thankfully, I am not known around here for my brilliance.

-edit- or much of anything

 

From a review to the MPREG Veela satire fic:

Oh my, a slash fan accusing a non-slash fan of cluttering up the boards. That's quite the charge.

This coming from a person who willfully opened a story claiming to be a Male Veela HP/DM slash MPREG story.

There can't be many of them cluttering the site.

-PP

 

Heh. I got an alert for one of this guy's stories and didn't remember who he was.

I thought 'Why the fuck is this shit on my alerts list?' And then I read it and it was :awesome

I like this guy.

 

I'm guessing the link to the C2 came about because Pinstripe asked him to. That or he's a lurker.

 

Not a DLP member. He does lurk from time to time, but the C2 link was my suggestion.

My vote is for intellectual snobbery.

I certainly wasn't reading fanfic back in the pre-internet days when Kirk/Spock was being distributed in 'zines, but after I started, I read up on all the terms.

So, yes, slash (sort of kind of) originally referred to a pairing, any pairing (a definition you can still find on some fanfic terminology lists), but it has since evolved to imply a same-sex relationship; and since the term femme-slash came about, slash is generally (more like almost exclusively, unless you're in a cabin in the woods, writing your manifesto) accepted to mean a male/male pairing.

Technically the reviewer is (more like might have been) right, but they're using an antiquated definition. On top of that, since the term DID originate with Kirk/Spock fics in the Trek fandom, the term has always been heavily tinged with homosexual implications. As such, anyone arguing that it means 'a pairing, any pairing' scarcely has a leg to stand on.

Even if they did, let's face it, these days 'awesome' rarely means awe-inspiring, 'fantastic' rarely means something so out there that it's the stuff of fantasy, and 'slash' means two guys performing free colonoscopies on each other with their dicks.

--
I certainly have nothing against gays and lesbians, and they have as much right to their own brand of erotica as I do to my icky guy on gal stuff.

(Although I would be remiss if I didn't point out that the number of actual homosexuals writing slash likely pales in comparison to the twelve year old girls doing it.)

However, I do object to stupid pairings like Snape/Harry, Voldemort/Harry (and Draco/Hermione, het or not), et cetera, which are wrong on so many levels that it defies reason.

Don't Like/Don't Read is a witty little rejoinder, but the reality is that this stuff clogs up fan fiction sites with unwanted material that you HAVE TO wade through if you want to browse a site like FFN (as opposed to exclusively following like-minded C2s or only following links to stories recommended by others off-site).

This is partially the fault of the site admins, since, with a little bit of coding on their part, one could avoid it entirely.

And that applies equally whether slash is your, *ahem*, meat or your poison.

Edit: Compare or contrast that with the term 'Oneshot', which is typically taken to mean a story consisting of a single chapter, but which is sometimes taken to refer to a story that consists of many chapters but is posted all at once in 'one shot'.
