I've read some real shocking ones, things that coulda been written by a child, awful.

MrsDmitriTippensKrushnic · 31/12/2012 11:27

Well I know my BFs 13yo daughter writes them (very much U/PG rated ones I hasten to add) so they might very well have been!

Peevish I may have been a little partial to, erm, a bit of Elladan/Elrohir Blush

MrsFlibble · 31/12/2012 12:17

Dmitri i mean the M ones, the truely adult ones, the more adolescent ones are much better written.

MyChemicalMummy · 31/12/2012 13:01

I hate badly written fan fic, I wish some people wouldn't share their fantasy.

There are some brilliant written ones on livejournal, esp if you like a bit of MCR slash.

I am literally snorting laughing at My Immortal, thank you for sharing. It's perfect, the story, the txt spk comments at the end of each 'chapter'... Grin

AlexReidsLonelyBraincell · 31/12/2012 14:03

?What the fuck do you think?? I asked angrily. And then I said. ?Well, Voldemort came and the fucking bastard told me to fucking kill Harry! But I don?t want to kill him, because, he?s really nice, even if he did go out with Draco. But if I don?t kill Harry, then Voldemort, will fucking kill Draco!? I burst into tears.
Suddenly Draco jumped out from behind a wall.

Brilliant.

ConfusedPixie · 31/12/2012 14:16

LOL. I love badly written fanfiction. I used to read a hell of a lot of fanfiction, and badly written sex scenes made fics like My Immortal worth reading Grin

Saying that, I read a really awesome fan version of Half Blood Prince before the book came out and it was 100% better than the real deal!

EuphemiaInExcelsis · 31/12/2012 14:21

Voldemort = fucking bastard, now that's deep.

I almost pissed myself when I read My Immortal for he first time. I don't even like HP but it was well worth it. It was Dumbledore's "motherfuckers" and his Avril Lavigne cape that did it for me.

FobblyWoof · 31/12/2012 14:36

I've also been guilty of writing a dodgy sex scene myself. Blush

I hate the ones that are actually really good stories and then they begin to be peppered with crap sex scenes. It makes me stop reading them

FiftyShedsOfGrey · 31/12/2012 15:17
made me roar.
MrsDmitriTippensKrushnic · 31/12/2012 15:21

Dammit. DC are in the room and I'm too comfortable to move laptop. I'll have to listen later...

Nixea · 31/12/2012 15:37

Oh gods, that link made me cry!! That's one of the funniest things I've heard in a long while!

FiftyShedsOfGrey · 31/12/2012 15:41

Oh I love dramatic readings, they really hit me where I live for some reason.

notquitenormal · 31/12/2012 15:49

I read one years ago, decades ago even, that put me off all fan fiction and has never left me.

It was a Star Trek TNG scene with Guinan (i.e. Whoopie Goldberg) who was completely naked except for her usual extravagant hat...and equally etravagant bush.

I decided I just couldn't risk visuals like that again.

IThinkOfHappyWhenIThinkOfYou · 31/12/2012 15:52

I hate writing sex scenes and I'm not mad about reading them either. I'm 85000 words into a story and have managed to get away with only one sex scene so far. I was writing a shorter story over Christmas which has a hetro sex scene, which I find harder to write so I did it mainly as the woman looking back in a drunken haze of regret. Still cringeworthy.

MrsFlibble · 31/12/2012 16:05

I wrote a kiss scene once, sadly i dont have the story now the only thing i remember was:

He traced an invisible line with kisses down her chest, breathing in her scent, her skin was soft and glowing with anticipation, he moved back her body, and looked into her eyes, she was perfect

Thats all i remember of that sadly.

freddy05 · 31/12/2012 16:50

I'm not saying I'm good at writing sex scenes but I do enjoy trying, its sort of a mental workout of what could happen if real life things like kids knocking on the door at the wrong moment or mum coming home didn't happen Wink

MardyArsedMidlander · 31/12/2012 16:53

I love reading the really good sex scenes- and there are some. It's just if any start 'he crushed his lips to her' (which sounds bloody painful)- I know not to bother.

This article is awesome

*Disclaimer it's about fanfic not a dodgy link Grin

FobblyWoof · 31/12/2012 18:12

fancy

Thanks for that! I think number 5 is my favourite! Grin

AlexReidsLonelyBraincell · 31/12/2012 19:06

Dumbleydore only swore cos he had a headache y'all!

And yes, the Avril Lavigne cloak is priceless. Grin

mrsrupertpenryjones · 31/12/2012 19:31

Thanks for the link to My Immortal - it's just genius!
