Here's the challenge: All out war against every HP community and well-known author. DLP included. In short, write a fic designed to offend or at the very least heavily mock everyone-- From Kinsfire to Lord Ravenclaw to nonjon to Rorschach's Blot.

How would this be done? Not entirely sure yet. Starting this thread mostly so that if someone decides to take up the challenge (Eris help them), they'll have something to work from.

 

I thought it already existed and it was called "My Immortal".

Although I'm not sure if it was enough to offend Kinsfire...

 

Paradox.

The easiest way to annoy a particular shipping community is to pair Harry with someone other than their favorite. However, pretty much every living creature in the HP universe has a Harry/fill-in-the-blank community built around it, so no matter what, someone's going to like it. If you refuse to pair him with anyone, you please the people who hate any kind of romance. If you pair him with everyone, you make me happy.

So... paradox.

Never mind the fact that's it's a retarded idea to begin with.

 

Point in regards to the shipping. I was thinking more along the lines of a Harry that mocked all of the stupid shit every fandom puts forth.

(I.E. Kinsfire's constant harems, DLP's excessive hatred of Ginny*, Severitus, etc.)

*I in no way, shape, or form enjoy Ginny's character, but you have to admit, the CONSTANT bitching about her is kinda annoying at times.

 

Point clarified. But that still leaves the fact that it's a retarded challenge to begin with. Why would anyone care enough to write a fic specifically to mock other, likely more talented, writers?

 

Good fun. I actually enjoy how fucked up the various communities are-- That doesn't change the fact that they're fucked up. It's half "Christ, people, look at yourselves" and half celebration.

Praise something by pissing on it.

 

That's an interesting way of putting it. A more realistic way would be...

Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach. Those who can't do or teach, criticize.

 

Perhaps. But I have to ask you this-- What if it was well-written and humorous in its own right?

It's a slim chance, of course, but if someone who was actually talented took up this challenge and did a good job of it, I think it would have some artistic merit of its own. So you'd in essence be proving that you can do (and by extension, probably teach) by not doing and not teaching.

*shrugs*

 

If someone is a good writer, they don't need to mock anyone else to prove it. So again, I'll ask... why would anyone care enough to take up this challenge?

 

It's not mocking someone to prove you're a good writer. It's mocking communities in order to combination point out the fucked up shit and give them the (admittidly kinda odd) honor of pretty much having fanfiction FOR THEIR FANFICTION. Yes, it's written in a negative light-- So? There's an understanding there that you're just as fucked up as they are. After all, you're the one writing fanfiction about fanfiction.

Granted, most people are thin-skinned little bitches, so yeah.

 

Try the fic's by citygirl1116.

I think those are the type of fics your talking about.

 

I haven't posted in a while, so I figured this rare post should be as inane and vapid as my general influence on this community. This challenge is retarded, Big D is retarded for deciding to say something about when he should have ignored if he found it retarded, and I think most everyone is aware of the quote involving arguing on the internet and the Olympics that points out the retardation of the act and of all parties involved, myself included.

 

deathfehfluffybunny, I dub thee 'seagull' due to the way you flew in, shat on everything, and flew out, all the while contributing nothing of value.

Brother Trag, I've seen the sort of fic you're talking about in smaller fandoms, but it'd be harder than a priest at a primary school to write it for a fandom the size of Harry Potter. The only way to do it without having every single person in the HP universe schizophrenia would be a dimension hopping fic... waiiiiiit...

Isn't this sort of done by Dimension Hopping For Beginners?

 

Pretty much, that and many fics in which Harry and Co. find out that their lives have been written in the harry potter books (and by extension fanfiction). They then encounter the most cliche of all stories and laugh or be revolted by it.

 

Tehan: ...I completely forgot about that fic. It's actually pretty damn close enough to what I was talking about-- Close enough to say it works, anyway.

 

I'm pretty sure nonjon said at some point there's more of it in the works. It was during a discussion on time-travelling Harrys that do fuck all but tool around with the loli version of their dead missus and piss off Snape. He posted an excerpt where AK and Deuce run into one of those Harrys. It didn't end well.

 

All you faggots are missing the potential for a good laugh.

A good writer may not have to put others down, but a good writer can still see the potential fun that could be had for taking something like this up.

 

I rarely agree with Darius, but I agree on this. As 'Dimension Hopping for Beginners' shows, Tragedian's challenge isn't nearly as humorless as many of you seem to think. I just don't think anyone could do it better than Nonjon already did.

CHALLENGE: Completed.

 

Just so you fans of Dimension Hopping can know that there's a sequel that will happen.

Also is it weird that when I was looking up information about Nonjon's fics, I went to wikipedia first before promptly realizing that I was being retarded, and then going to Fanfiction.net? Jeeze, I need to remind myself to get more sleep. -_-

 

There was that Harry/Snape smut fic that was post on DLP a long time ago. I can't remember its name... just that it was painful and funny... That should offend a great many people....

Then of course there is the !!!!!
