    The one I just posted is so awesomely bad if its utter lack of any real plot doesnt make you ill... Then the authors writing style will.

    Note, this is not seperate sections, this is the beginning of the first chapter, as posted. It's called Harry Potter and the Sneak to the Grangers by Daniel-Radcliffe-luvr-21002100. http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2552347/1/ It only goes downhill from there, if laughing at bad writing is your thing, this can't be passed up.

    The effects aren't quite that drastic, but certainly it leaves the mind muddled for a bit, wondering where the hell these people come from.

    By these people, I mean the parents of the 13 year old kid who is writing that mess of an M rated fic...

    If I was the parent I wouldnt be ticked about that... I would be ticked that my kid couldn't even write something marginally less shitty.

    Well, you aren't a father. Trust me, no normal father wouldn't be upset that their 13 year old daughter was writing or even thinking that. Inevitable though it may be. Funnily enough, I'm raising other peoples kids, and horrid penmanship, grammar and grasp of the English language are indeed my biggest problem with them. I don't understand how they can be dumb. I constantly think 'was I ever this dumb?' I have been assured by everyone, including those who couldn't know, that yes, I was indeed that dumb.

    Those jerks... :cry:

    I suppose your right... Though as long as I didn't find out about it, and she wasn't doing any of those things in RL, I probably wouldn't mind.

    personally, i hate fics like that. (and i'm a 13 year old girl.) i like gore and action a lot more. its more interesting and keeps my attention. and i'm not going to try to explain what is wrong with us and english. its different for every person. the only problem i have is i'm too lazy to capitalize when i don't have to. and i hate to say it, but most everyone is dumb about my age.

    Gore and Action are fun.

    Buts what more fun is combining them with just a dash of plot. Otherwise they suck.

    For examples of this see Matrix 2 and 3.

    I think plot without plot holes(or at least not too much), is the most important thing.

    NOOO!!!!

    Plot holes are what make a story good.

    Thats why everyone loves reading those excellant Harry/Ginny stories.

    Bah it's the clichè that draws the people, it makes the whole thing much easier if you have read the same story a few hundred times.

    I know Harry needs someone as loving as Ginny.

    And she was soul-raped by Riddle, something which definitely strengthens the bond between Harry and Ginny.

    Dear God that was truly awful.

    props for new house cliche... Never thought I would see that again.

    Though it wasnt the worst I ever saw... It was close.
