Title: What's with the news box?
Post by: techmaster-glitch on September 13, 2007, 09:31:43 PM
A few of the things in the news box are popping up stuff about Harry Potter. I know it's not from the books, though. My best guess is that it's some sort of fanfiction. But the reference is going right over my head, can someone please explain what it's all from?

Yeah seriously. This afternoon I saw them and decided to look it up. EGADS the Horror!!! Before today, I had never truly seen a real Mary-Sue.
As you can imagine, I didn't bother going far.

I was shivering. I don't even like Harry Potter (that much) and I would never make such an atrocity against it and it's fandom!

All atrocities shall remain in the realm of Naruto, and thuroughly in my mind.

Harry Potter and the Dungeon of Consenting Adults?

Also, any chance of getting some lines from Monty Python's Storytime?

One day Ricky the magic Pixie went to visit Daisy Bumble in her tumbledown cottage. He found her in the bedroom. Roughly he gabbed her heavy shoulders pulling her down on to the bed and ripping off her...

Old Nick the Sea Captain was a rough tough jolly sort of fellow. He loved the life of the sea and he loved to hang out down by the pier where the men dressed as ladies...

Rumpletweezer ran the Dinky Tinky shop in the foot of the magic oak tree by the wobbly dumdum bush in the shade of the magic glade down in Dingly Dell. Here he sold contraceptives and...

No?  OK.

My guess was it was some kind of "top ten bad Harry Potter fanfics".  I could have tried to find them of course, but just the one about Harry getting "fattened" was enough to persuade me against that.

Blargh... This stuff makes me want to curl up in a corner with a nice hot cup of cider and cry my eyes out and write emo poems. I thought that someone must have written this as a joke, but I NEVER would have guessed this was actually someone's idea of good writing.

The darkness of my soul,
It cries black blood
As I read the blasphemies
of
the Harry Potter fandom.

You don't mean to tell me that those typoes are on purpose?!?!

The sad thing is... my selective memory told me that it was actually well written in it's own way.
But when I go back and find out that "flattened" was spelt "fattened" and "spiky" as "spicy", I find that I really have no words.
