    I liked this line most: “sOh no!” Merpheus say at teh radar screen “more matrix is attack us”
    I can imagine it becoming an internet meme equal to “all your base are belong to sOh no! more matrix is attack us!”
    It’s so hilarious and painful at the same time. Like seashell homeopathy.

    I wonder if we can get someone to put that on the II twitter.

    “More matrix is attack us.” (I need that on a bumper sticker)

    I wonder, if scared, those girls would give up Edward to stop the Illiteracy Monster from stalking them. Or if they would learn to love it after realising, it’s just an ugly, shapeless version of Edward.

    “more matrix is attack us!” I so want that bumper sticker. Here’s moar bad lines.

    “Hey! Happy Birthday!” They all stated in some crazy pre-programmed voice, like robots, with all this emotion, yes, but exactly the same each and every time.

    “with all this emotion, yes, but exactly the same each and every time”. What is up with the “yes”?!

    “By the way,” Murtagh said from the door, “where is Shruikan?” “Hunting.” He did that weird eyebrow thing where your eyes get bigger then shrink back to normal. He shut the door after him. Such a gentleman.

    Added the rest for context, but what exactly is that weird eyebrow thing, because anyone whose eyebrows do that has problems!

    Are you saying that I have problems because my eyebrows are awesomer than yours?

    Now here's a question - does Parseltongue get them hard?
  8.  

    Back on topic…

    In Carvahall, the trees and mountains blocked their view. While in Aberon, the city lights blocked out their light. But, here in the Hadarac Desert, there were few trees and no large cities to hide their bountiful light. One could almost see the massive amounts of energy being released by these massive giants. Supernovas swirled between the stars and comets shot in their wake. Distant galaxies died and were reborn in the matter of seconds. Gaseous explosions rocked the small planets and stars from their natural orbits. And the black holes blocked and destroyed unnecessary light from the eyes. But, through mortal eyes, these massive amounts of light blinded and hid the true beauty and vastness of these galaxies. But through his eyes they fit together as if a puzzle. And, their mighty power seemed closer and more powerful, almost untouchable and invincible. It was much more than just an inhuman beauty. It was an untamed and unexplored wilderness that hid many alien and unknown wonders.

    It’s been a while since someone’s posted in this thread, but I just found a gut-wrenchingly awful bit of poetry in a Nights into Dreams fanfiction:

    “What do you mean what it meant? What’s not to understand? For in thy heart does burn for thee’s love and passion. For when I see thee’s eyes, my heart does burn like ashen. For when I hear thee’s voice, thy soul does go a dashin’. For thy heart burns for thee’s love and passion.” NiGHTS recited.

    “thee’s”.

    That’s… wow.

    Perhaps the writer thinks ‘thy’ means ‘my’.

  12.  

    no, methinks thee has it all wrong, Taks…

  13.  

    oh god. somebody has to write a D:LT/Inheritance crossover

  14.  

    “Eragon tightened his grip on Saphira’s reins and nervously waved.
    Dennagon eyed them suspiciously but slowly waved back.
    Suddenly rocks fell and everyone died.”

    There you go FE: now never suggest such again! (even though DF and I bring up this idea like… once every chapter)

  15.  

    XD okay. I will keep in mind not to invoke these most disturbing mental images

  16.  

    “What do you mean what it meant? What’s not to understand? For in thy heart does burn for thee’s love and passion. For when I see thee’s eyes, my heart does burn like ashen. For when I hear thee’s voice, thy soul does go a dashin’. For thy heart burns for thee’s love and passion.” NiGHTS recited.

    I love how they revert from ‘thee voice’ and ‘thy soul’ to “a dashin’”.

  17.  

    For when I hear thee’s voice, thy soul does go a dashin’

    This sounds like a very poorly written children’s song. “And thy soul did go a dashin’, and then there was some crashin’.”

  18.  

    “Keep your knickers on, I didn’t tell anyone.” (A/N sorry I just read a Harry Potter boy book, so I’m talking a bit like this. Well I have a new quote that I stole from someone. It’s major! First person to guess who I stole it from gets to be featured in my next chapter.)

    Sorry, but I must ask: what does the writer mean by “Harry Potter boy book?” That doesn’t make sense to me.

    Oh God… Spelling, grammar, punctuation… ALL GONE!

  41.  

    Translated from the original Retard, my last quote is: “ ‘Someone said to come here, so I went!’ he exclaimed.” The original fanfiction is GONE FOREVER (I got the line from my TXT file of potential signature quotes), but I believe that the line was spoken by Harry to Professor McGonagall.

  43.  

    At that moment, I felt my heart starting to pound. What on earth? I thought. I put a paw to my chest and thought, My heart is pounding.

    Yes, this is all one line. It’s from a Wallace and Gromit fanfic told from the POV of the OC Mary Sue named Buttercup.

    1942 years into the future Edward Cullen has lost the love of his life. As a vampire he outlives the people he loves. But Earth has become a warzone, and Edward must join the Spartans to fight the good fight against the evil Enclave on Planet Zebes.

    “Yes, Master Cheif” Edward said slowly, the breath almost gone from his lips.

    “I.. I.. “ the Cheif studdered. “I.. love you.”

    “What now?” said Cortana.

    “... I need a weapon.”

    Edward looked deep into the reflective eyes of his new helm. Yes. The Fenris Mark design was what all Spartans dreamed of. Its cast muzzle and nose gleamed under the artificial light above. His eyes then dwelled upon the suit itself. Magnificient.

    Tribal designs of great strength ran the length of it in wonderous myriad of colors. His favorite was the Kanji for earth, imprinted in an illustrious red.

    While he was honored, his heart was heavy. For upon his shoulders laid the fate of all mankind. Immortality had its perks, but with it came many great responsibilities

    His mind set, Edward prepared himself for his battle with the wicked Covenant. With a sweep of his arm, he attatched his chest piece of his Fenris Mark Mjolnir armor and prepared himself for the war that was to come.

    Once the pieces where in place, he activated the life support and AI systems. Slowly his frame began to condense and take shape as the suit adjusted itself to his physiology. His limbs elongated, his shoulders grew tighter and more pronounced, his back seizing to give bidepal posture.

    A few moments later the armor was fully aclimated. Edward now stood proud upon four legs as his shield powered up. The dormant AI within his helmet reared to life. The grinding of machinery could be heard as two miniguns rolled out of seperate compartments and were activated on each side of him. Yes. It was time to Finish the fight

    From a Halo/Twilight crossover. There’s porn between Edward and his commander (who is a terrible black stereotype) later. D:

    The first chapter of “Powerful Desire: The tale of two spirit’s souls”

    May 12-13, 2006 (Late at night, early in morning):

    Good day, night, morning, afternoon, & evening, readers. My name is Desirae. And I am your host for this story… Or rather: diary.

    Wait, what?

    Now, I call this a diary because this is based on real life. And if you have read those famous diaries of people who were young and may have died, then you now see why I call it thus. And if I am crazy, then so are all my friends, and even those who are not even in the same state, or country for that matter! ...Now, I ask of all those who are reading this: DO NOT FLAME WHAT-SO-EVER!

    Um, you’re comparing yourself to Anne Frank? Anne Frank isn’t someone who “may” have died, she did die, and this… thing… ARGH!

    IF YOU HAVE READTHE SOUL OF A GHOST’ AND YOU DID NOT LIKE IT AT ALL, THEN LEAVE THIS FIC NOW! But… If you believe me and you wish to know what is or what has been going on, then welcome… It’s so nice to see you. But please, before we can begin, I should start with the basics…

    So it is a fic. And no, I don’t believe you, but you entertain me. Wallbanging is entertaining.

    Once again, my name is Desirae, or you may call me Luna. Or Blue, short for Blueflamewolf, my pen name on this wonderful sight.

    Site is spelled S-I-T-E. And I’m not going to even comment on your name(s).

    I was born in a small city, named after the body of Christ, in Texas. Born, and raised there. I was the small, quiet type. I never truly belong anywhere, until I met my best friend, Mary, who later moved to Fort Worth. As I grew I became more of a people’s person: helping others when they needed it, with the help of my gift, of course.

    So you were born in Corpus Christi, had the personality of Bella Swan and every other teenager who is not tall and loud, were emo until you made a friend, and then turned into a Black Hole Sue/Purity Sue/God Mode Sue/Possession Sue/Relationship Sue/Sympathetic Sue? And you expect me to believe that all this is REAL?

    Wait! ... I forgot. For those who do not know, I am a medium/ psychic. And I know people may ask, ‘what is the difference?’ Well, ‘medium’ branches off the word ‘psychic’ and is used in the field of ghost. ‘Psychic’ is a person with visions and knows things other people wouldn’t.

    Desk, this is head. Head, meet desk.

    Now, I gained this power from my grandmother, who gained it from her grandfather, and so on. And I found out when I was only 10 years of age. Young, I know, but I’m not sure if it was the greatest time for my grandmother to tell me, yet I suppose it was, for she did. And once I found out what I was, I wanted to know everything I could about myself and others like me!

    Make a special note of the words “I want to know everything I could about myself.”

    At the age of 13, I found a few others, but not someone similar me, never a medium.

    “No one is as powerful as ME!”

    Yet I asked an older person who shared a supernatural gift and she gave me advice. She said that at the age of 14 I would find someone or something would happen to me, something important and big! Well, being 13, you can imagine my ‘I can’t wait!’ attitude. And so I waited, about nearly 2 longer years to pass. And as my 15 birthday drew nearer and nearer, I turned to God, and prayed for someone to teach me. Someone who was just like a person from a book or a movie. Someone who was mysterious and dark, but warm and welcoming and someone who would care for me.

    spews milk out of nose after choking on it

    Now, those who are ready and are very true to your religion must be thinking, ‘God doesn’t like people who can do stuff like that. He sends them to Hell!’ Well, sorry, but I was born a Catholic,

    “Those who are ready”? What? And you’re CATHOLIC? ... goes and cries under rock, weeping for her religion

    and since I was born a medium/psychic as well, does that mean I’m going to Hell just because I was born differently? NO! To Hell with that stupid theory!

    Um, “dark and cuddly” is not the same as “medium/psychic.” And while the theory of “being born differently” is indeed stupid, and should indeed go to hell, I have noted that you seem to think that stalkers and serial murderers are appropriate partners for fourteen-year-old girls.

    And I’m sorry, but I’m kind of like Carlos Mencia. You think it, I say it!

    I wish CB was still here.

    So sorry, but I have adapted a new form of religion, (no not devil worship) a religion of which I think involves every last religion.

    Please tell me you’re not recruiting.

    But please, we are not here to read of this, so let me move on…

    THEN WHY THE BLOODY HELL DID YOU JUST SPEND MOST OF THE CHAPTER ON IT?

    As I asked and prayed for someone, I let it slip that I wanted someone like Snape or the Phantom. Yet it was only a jest, a joke! I didn’t really think it would happen, until it happened… Funny how that worked out, really. Fate is a bitch.

    Fate is a bitch. It led me to read this.

    On October 21, 2005 Erik, a.k.a the former Phantom of the Opera came to my room in the dead of night… But we’ll just call it early morning. : )

    That smiley scares me.

    Yet for now, you, the reader, have a choice. You can continue with this story, or you can think it’s a load, not review, and leave. The choice is yours alone, as I made a very powerful choice long ago in the heart of Paris, which affected many lives… Including my own…

    ...
    ...
    ...
    Headdesk. Headdesk. Headdesk.

    It’s just….so

    I’m still crying over the fact that she’s Catholic.

    Upon retrospect, though, I’ve definitely seen much worse.

    Dare I ask for the next chapter?

  55.  

    Not as bad as some of the others I’ve seen. To be fair, this one was comprehensible…so you could comprehend the horribleness of the writing.

    Ok, so it turned out bad all the same, but credit where credit is due.

  56.  

    True.
    But I think she puts in way too much new information. Like how did she put it… “Oh, yeah, I forgot to mention that I’m psychic.”
    Because you know, going on this huge quest to find out how to control it is such a minor part of your life that you completely forget about it.

    bq, Dare I ask for the next chapter?

    Here it is. weeps

    May 13, 2006 (afternoon):

    Hello once again, to all those who have chosen to continue. Most of you are either phangirls, or people like me. Or, maybe, you’re just looking for something good to read. Perhaps you are bored; in this case, you’re in for a treat.

    I am a fangirl, though I don’t call myself a “phangirl” because that’s over-the-top. No one is like you, sorry, Blue. And I was looking for something good to read, but I failed miserably. And yes, I am bored. Thank you for acknowledging my pain.

    But to those who should be paying attention now would now what I should be typing, about Erik, the former Phantom of the Opera. But first, let me get something out of the way. I say, (Or rather type) former Phantom, because he is dead. And he is not in Paris any longer, but now he resides in Texas, with me.

    You know how in Phantom of the Opera, how Erik pretended to be her father in order to gain her trust and seduce her? You know how that was really creepy? And only made less creepy because he was alive?

    Now many may be thinking, ‘You can’t take the Phantom out of Paris! Then he’s just… Not the Phantom of the Opera!’ or something belonging to that field. Well, news-flash people, I didn’t mean for it to be this way! How he came here is still kind of unclear, yet the facts remain, he is with me, always, whether I wish him to be or not.

    This guy is coming in your room at night?

    Yeah, great role model.

    But, let me just continue on with our story. And I type ‘our’ because many people are involved, and it would be terribly rude for me not to include them as saying it’s not there story, because they don’t have a part, when they do. But now, let me continue, or start rather…

    GET ON WITH IT!

    It was dark, and I awoke once again during the night. It was around 2 or 3 in the morning. Not the greatest thing in the world, because when someone like me wakes up, they can’t get back to sleep easily…

    ‘Crap, not again! Man, I really need some kind of pill before I go to sleep, so I can sleep! Well, not like it matters… I’m sure I’ll fall asleep sometime within… a few hours? … Wish I knew. Damn it… Hate having this condition.

    Um, who was it who wondered if she was ADD?

    And tomorrow is Monday! ... Ok, so today is Monday. Not like it matters… Hmm. Funny, I feel strange… Like someone’s watching me… A male!

    Someone has been sleeping with her thesaurus.

    Wait, how did I know that! …. God bless it. (Lord forgive me)

    What?!

    Oh, don’t tell me he’s a ghost; please don’t say he is… But what if he isn’t? ... Oh God, I have to call dad! But what if he gets me? Damn my need for slasher films! … Wait, it’s just his energy… It’s like he’s just… Standing there. Waiting for something… But what!’

    What the whoha?

    Slight fear crept into my heart and mind. I knew I had never met anyone like this person before… Or had I? I wasn’t sure. Something about him seemed familiar, yet something else didn’t. Something echoed in my ears, a soft song or a soft spoken verse of something he might have said. Yet I heard not what it was. I waited, but I could not wait any longer. I needed to know something. I needed to know who was here and why…

    It’s Gerard Butler, obviously. He’s come to murder all those souls who needlessly fangirl him.

    I wished to stay calm, yet I couldn’t, for something made me feel different, like I’ve been wanting to hide from him, but I didn’t know why. Why would I wish to hide from someone who I had never met?

    Um, because you shouldn’t talk to strangers?

    So, I took a small breath, shifted my weight onto my side, away from the wall, and towards the space of my room. As I did, my eyes opened wider, my lips slightly gated open and a small chill came over me, causing me to sit up on my bed.

    Keep your hand at the level of your eyes!

    A single name came to me, yet I later thought, ‘Why that name? Why not another?’ I then decided to not question my gift.

    I could see nothing, but felt someone here with me. My sight is different, I’ll admit that, but I could almost see this aura around him, or some kind of clear fog. It was and still is hard to describe to others. Yet seeing as I had only a single name to follow, I called it out to him.

    rolls about on floor, laughing hysterically

    “Erik?” I asked out load, hoping that was his name.

    I received no immediate response. But he waited a second, looked strait at me, nodded and spoke at last. Yet I could not hear the words, for my mind was like a very old version on IM. All I could do was read what he spoke.

    OK, at least this is original-sounding.

    “Yes, Desirae. It is I, Erik.” His reply sounded as if he said it with a small smile.

    Just then a picture came to mind, a picture of Erik. Someone who wore a mask, dark clothing and who was very pale. At that point I knew who this was, and I was very much honored but I did not loss my cool and still questioned why he was here, so naturally, I asked.

    He’s come to seduce you and then strangle you, silly.

    “Why are you here, Erik? Shouldn’t you be in Heaven or something?”

    Um, he’s a serial murderer and pedophile. I doubt he’d be in Heaven.

    He shook his head. “No, no, my dear. I’m afraid I should not be. But I have come here to help you, and to ask something of you. I need your help, as you do me.”

    “Really?” I yawned, which was strange for me.

    Because you are a Special Self-Insert Snowflake, who is above such things as sleep.

    “Yes. I have seen you sing, and dance and so many things. I’ve been watching you for a while now. I could teach you so many things, my dear. But for now, you need to rest.”

    Flooooating, faaaaalling, sweet intoxicaaation. Touch me, truuust me, savor each sensaaation!

    I yawned again and more powerfully this time. Something I don’t normally do when it has only been at least a few moments since I awake. Yet, once he said that, sleep did sound nice, so I laid my head upon my pillow and closed my eyes. I then remembered something important.

    No, idiot, go to sleep! I mean… Let the dream begin! Let your darker side give in to the power of the music that I wriiiite…. the power of the music of the niiiiight…

    “Erik? You promise you’ll come back?” I opened my eyes again, just to see him again. Once I did I saw his energy had turned around and looked like he was going to leave me right on the spot.

    Please remember the words “I saw his energy had turned around.” facepalm

    He stopped, and turned his head slightly to the right, and said, “Yes, Desirae. I promise, I will return tomorrow night. Now go to sleep my dear. You need your rest.”

    Youuuu alone can make my song take fliiiight….

    And so I closed my eyes once more, only to awake the next morning with a small headache, and a strange feeling in my gut that I had a strange dream… Only it was too vivid to be a dream…

    Let the dream begin!

    Was I going mad?...

    No, I am.

    I stumbled across this one here by accident a while back. I usually wouldn’t have clicked it, but it looked like it would be really miserably bad.
    Funny thing is, it’s bad, but… I think it sort of reads like their actual dialogue, which is depressing.

    This isn’t a parody?

    Bella: Can you go smash all the computers in the house?
    Emmett: NOOOO! NOT GEORGE!
    Alice: HA HA HA HA HA HA HA. You guys’ll love this one!
    Edward: I’m almost afraid to ask Emmett. George?
    Emmett: My computer!!! What, your computers don’t have names?!
    Bella: Oh wow. Okay, you know what, I’ve about had enough.
    Rosalie: Emmett, for the love of all that is good…. YOU NAMED YOUR
    LAPTOP!?
    Edward: Emmett! That’s genius! I’m naming mine… Bella.
    Bella: Awww, you name your laptop after me Edward? That’s so sweet.
    Rosalie: Yeah, and not creepy at all…
    Emmett: coughsmoothtalkercough
    Edward: Shut up Emmett.
    Alice: Why are we naming the computers?
    Carlisle: Guys, may I bring up the point a second time that WE ALL HAVE
    SUPER-HEARING AND LIVE IN THE SAME HOUSE?

  58.  

    Off-topic: What’s wrong with naming your computer?

  59.  

    Nothing. A friend of mine named hers Dante.

    I was thinking of naming mine Patricia, but couldn’t decide. That should be a thread…

  60.  

    Mine’s name is Marius (from Les Mis), beacuse it is slow and stupid.

    My current one is Sophie, but the one I’ll start using as soon as I have internet on it is currently Polyxena, which is just in case I can’t think of anything less overtly geeky.

    But anyway, as far as I can tell, that fic is not actually a parody, no. It’s not under the parody category, and the author seems to take it seriously.

  61.  

    I named mine Toshiba Satellite A135.

    Umm... I named my laptop George. It (the laptop) reminds me somehow of George Castanza from Seinfeld--I feel that if my laptop was a person, it would be an anxious, short, stocky bald man.

    I usually call mine just “Baby”. As in “Come on, baby, DON’T YOU DARE CRASH ON ME NOW AFTER I JUST FINISHED MY LIFE’S WORK.”

    Umm… I named my laptop George.

    My laptop is named Vern after Vern from Rain Man. "Uh oh. need Vern. My main man, Vern. Vern. V-E-R-N Vern."

    My desktop is named Mortimer after the zebra in Mr. Magorium: "Mortimer get off the couch!" (It is a slightly persnickety machine.)

    My butterfly swords are named Scindo and Declino, the Latin words “I cut/tear/slice into” and “I turn aside/deflect”; my 9-ring broadsword is named Banshee (for he fortells death with an unearthly rattle), and my deer horn knives are named “Sun” and “Moon” because they represent opposites and look vaguely like a sunrise or a moonrise from the right angle.

    I don’t name my other posessions, only my weapons.

    Anyway.

    Alas, I have not read any bad fanfiction recently, alt least nothing quoteable. I will say that I WISH people would learn that neither “cerulean” nor “viridian” are acceptable eye-colour descriptors. Especially not if they’re being used to describe the SAME SET OF EYES, and within the SAME PARAGRAPH.

  64.  

    I know cerulean is blue, but what is viridian? Blue too?

    Yeah, I don’t really like outlandish eye colors, especially if the eyes are blue. Just say they’re blue!

    It bugs me most when they’re…whatever, iridescent blue with a sheen of emerald, shot with amethyst.

    What colour is that then? It sounds like it would end up being that colour you only see in water after a large group of four-year-olds has been painting…

  65.  

    @Moldorm: Oh, I see.

    In any case, I’m sticking with ‘green eyes’.

    Viridian is green.

    Why does the English language have such words in the first place if their only use is purple prose?
