I haven't seen any threads about this, but I feel that it NEEDS to be discussed. I am sure that some of you have heard about, and even ventured as far as to read it. I wanted to open a thread for discussion.
for those of you who don't know "My Immortal":
"My Immortal is the most famous, notoriously bad fan fiction ever written. Based very loosely in the Harry Potter universe and featuring the blatant Mary-Sue protagonist Ebony (or often times "Enoby"), it reads like a detailed list of everything a fanfic author could ever possibly do wrong, only taken to exaggerated, horrifying extremes. Written by super-tard Tara Gilesbie, My Immortal was originally posted to fanfiction.net sometime in 2006, but was subsequently deleted by the ff.net staff after causing a severe drop in the site's collective IQ. In fact, the fanfic is so unbelievably bad that many refuse to accept that it's real, insisting that Tara was only trolling and that the story is really a parody. Regardless of the author's intent, My Immortal remains one of the most cringeworthy, unintentionally hilarious, so-bad-it's-good pieces of literature the internets have ever shat out and is one of the most famous writings of the 21st century equivalent to such authors as Emily Dickinson, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and John Steinbeck."
This exceptional piece of literature can be read here: myimmortalrehost.webs.com/chapters122.htm
The dramatic reading can be listened to here:

it's one of my favorite things in the whole wide web. Next to Old Gregg.
(guessing this is the right section to post? Correct me if I'm wrong)

), and wtf Ron=Diabolo??, everyone's a goth, and I believe if you cut off all those useless descriptions about what Enoby and other characters wear, the fanfic wouldn't have 20+ chapters.
