In the second part of Mark\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s journey through My Immortal<\/em>, absolutely nothing makes sense. Intrigued? Then it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s time for Mark to slowly harm his imagination with My Immortal<\/em>.<\/p>\n

CHAPTER 7<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ok, this has <\/em>to be a joke. There is no way someone wrote this with total sincerity. I suppose there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a part of me that kind of believes that this is possible, but there are these little slips that make me feel that someone intentionally wrote a lot of this in this way.<\/p>\n

I can believe (based on my many years of INTERNETING) that people type just like this person does here. There are people who try to imitate exciting, riveting fiction and are simply not good at it. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve done my fair share of editing for many, many years, and it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s very easy to identify someone who has no talent at all. This happens. I have unfortunately read too<\/em> much bad fanfiction and while My Immortal <\/em>seems to hit all the right buttons, I kind of find that concept a bit suspicious. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s perfectly <\/em>written terribly. (That sentence is odd, but I swear it makes sense.) It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s full of so many things specifically<\/em> designed to offend people. (The AIDS line here in chapter seven seems like one of those.)<\/p>\n

That being said…I did absolutely no research on this fic, so please don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t tell me if it was determined to be real or fake. WHERE\u00e2\u20ac\u2122S THE FUN IN THAT.<\/p>\n

I must be predictable to start this off, because I am slightly obsessed with these:<\/p>\n

wel ok u guyz im only writting dis cuz I got 5 god reviuws. n BTW I wont rite da nxt chapter til I git TIN god vons! STO FLAMING OR ILL REPORT U! Evony isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t a Marie Sue ok she isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t perfect SHES A SATANITS! n she has problemz shes depressed 4 godz sake!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah! <\/em>How dare you expect Ebony Way (fuck it I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m shortening that horrible name) to be perfect because\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6.she\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a Satanist? what<\/em>.<\/p>\n

But let\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s talk about Mary Sues! What an awful concept, as far as I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m concerned. I mean, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s always sort of bothered me how it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s been a way for people to instantly criticize women who write fiction, especially when many of us who write insert ourselves into our characters<\/em>. I understand that there is<\/em> a way that fanfiction can actually<\/em> have a character that is a total self-insert and trust me, I will say this a million times in different iterations: I have read them<\/em>. (Side note: I have<\/em> read good fanfiction! I recently\u00c2\u00a0 read a mash-up between Ten (Doctor Who<\/em>) and Mulder (The X-Files<\/em>) and it was kind of amazing? NOW I CANNOT FIND IT AGAIN ohhhhhh goooooodddddd<\/em>)<\/p>\n

Well, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve now been utterly sidetracked. I think I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m purposely trying to avoid addressing what the hell is going on in this fic<\/em><\/p>\n

If there was anything that I did not request from the universe, it was reading another section from this particular author wherein Ebony and Draco have sex. Not only does it seem like the author has no idea how sex works, but there are quite a few details that are absolutely nonsensical. May we?<\/p>\n
