    Not really. I had no faith at all in the author after reading 3 lines of her story; you can't lose what you never had!

    EDIT: Last one, I swear!! I just had to add this quote, from Chapter 8:

    Did she say, "CONSTIPATED"?.......

    One piece of advice: if, one day, you're feeling depressed, if you are convinced you're writing badly and that you can't invent a plausible plot, read this story... You'll feel better.

    I've been reading the entire fic since, just to see how BAD the author could get... and also because of the flames... Some of them are incredibly funny; funnier than the story itself, and that's saying something. There are reviews by readers taking the voices of JKR's characters -- Lord Voldemort (for every single chapter), Albus Dumbledore very often, along with Draco Malfoy, Lucius Malfoy, Bellatrix Lestrange, Remus Lupin, James Potter and others... Most of their reviews are completely IC as they destroy the fiction, chapter by chapter. Lord Voldemort in particular never fails to feed the author of the fic with most imaginative threats of death.

    Anyway -- I found other priceless quotes. Tons of priceless quotes. Both in the reviews and the story (the A/Ns are particularly juicy). The fiction is actually mentioned in Wikipedia, as one of the worst fics ever written.

    We need a thread just for this story!!!

    [/URL]Have any of you been to www.harrypotterfanfiction.com if so I pity you. It was the first HP site I came across and therefore have read so many terrible ff that it makes me want to cry. It's all H/G H/HR Hr/R R/T Godly Dumbledore. There are like 30 000 fics and I nominate them all.:wall:

    What are they called? And I obviously haven't read all the stories on the site, your just getting defensive over nothing. Exaggeration is commonly used in the world.

    I have four stories, including the one posted in DLP's library; same Pen Name. And I wasn't getting defensive. I was being sarcastic. The situation merely struck me as funny; but maybe I've got a twisted sense of humour.

    As for the other stories posted at HPFF, I don't know. I'm not sure they are that "awesomely bad". A majority of them are quite well-written, if I remember correctly; or at least, the authors over there know how to spell. There's a lot of sloppy romantic stories (not sure about the subject/verb agreement?), I'll give you that. Clichéed stories, too. But they're not that bad, really. Just boring.

    I just stumbled across something that IS awesomely bad; the summary has been posted in the "FFN's worst summaries" thread, and the fiction is way... WAY worse.

    So bad I am not posting a link. If you want to read it, I will not be blamed for the loss of your sanity.

    Time Machine by SongofthePast

    That's when Harry comes in. He finds what he thinks are two little boys going at it in the bushes, goes all turned on, joins in then adopts the "little boys". I wasn't brave enough to read on. The idea of Snape getting involved in the story in one way or another made me want to throw up.

    Let's just add that the author claims to be thirteen and to be particularly well... er... "endowed". His story was deleted twice by FFN and he got his account at adultfanfiction deleted as well. Keeps posting anyway. Moron.

    SongofthePast (the name is way too close to my story's title, btw -- I feel insulted) also admires Tara, a.k.a XXXbloodyrists666XXX, so-called author of My Immortal, a.k.a "the pile of crap with 3000+ flames".

    Lawl. Do you have a link for that Tim Tam? Sounds like my kinda story ;)

    I can't stop laughing. My Immortal has nothing on this.

    For HPFF I would have to say that you are probably correct Tinn, lots of trashy cliche's, but I dont think the stories are well written just good spelling. Now this story isn't actually bad but it's a harry licking dumbles ass the whole 3 books and 600 000 words. It Super!Harry Super!Hermione AlmostSuper!Friends, Heir of Gryffondor and Ravenclaw

    Sirius will goes something like this: Harry I know you love Hermione and always will, I give her a billion galleons and you two get together, the whole school knows you need to.

    My Immortal wasn't even so Bad it's funny, it was worse, he put his thingy in my you know what. It was beyond that, it was so bad I cried.

    I fail to see the meaning of that picture, but it's hot.

    Since I inflicted upon myself to read all 38 chapters of My Immortal, so that I could 'review' the thing properly, I am allergic to the FUCKING 1!11!. Could someone explain to me what they actually mean?! Then maybe I wouldn't want to punch my computer so badly every time I see one.

    WAHAHAHAHA

    Get a doctor. The author fainted at the sight of a man she persists in calling Harry Potter.

    Just shut up with the stupid comments. The story is stupid enough as it is.

    -----------------

    You know, I personally admire most reviewers of the stories listed in this thread. Well, at least, most reviewers of THIS story and of My Immortal. They have such faith in the human kind that they always think those stories are parodies. Even when the author's notes are even more idiotic than the story itself (Tara, I'm looking at you), even when the author defends fervently their own story in their profile, livejournal and petition (again, Tara, I'm looking at you), and even when the selected Genres aren't "Humor/Parody" but "Drama/Romance/Angst".

    However, when said reviewers start saying things like "All those who haven't guessed yet that this is a parody are fucking idiots", I stop admiring and I start wishing I could trace them home and pay them a visit. Preferrably with an axe.

    Mary Sue at twelve o'clock. Story both cliché and completely fucked up. Impressive.

    Another one who wasn't listening in Biology lessons. Or is this Kaytlynn a hybride for which pregancy lasts two months instead of nine?...And now Snape behaves friendly and understanding towards a girl whose last name is Potter. Interesting.

    "Where is that monkey? I need to shoot something."

    ...what?

    And the reviewer you quoted... I think she reviewed all the chapters, and every time she's been uttering those half-articulated atrocious cries of pain. The girl needs to be put out of her misery. Someone got a gun?
