Attack of the Fan Fic Authors
By Bobmin
funny chapter, oh and that line, 'For anyone reading this drivel, I’m the Angel of Mercy, you little piss ant...' i read that on godawfulfinfiction.com ... it made me laugh then
aswell...
*snicker*
I've probably reviewed this already, but in case I didn't, and Alyx or Bob ever read this review... THANK YOU ALYX
(Oh ya, you too bobmin)
wow.
this was hilarious. all of my classmates seem to have this style (if it can be called that) and just can NOT spell correctly. it pisses me off, and now you just made me jealous, cause now i want my
very own angel of mercy. it would be a life saver!!!
Just one thing, if you want the correct Brittish line it would be 'could so write'
Could the angel of mercy kill off my friend? She keeps making me read her fanfic. The grammar/spelling makes my brain dribble out of my ears.
Brilliant beyond belief.
That was funny.
I wish my students could write even this well!!! ;-)
What a fine tale. Good for you, Alyx.
You missed the one that has been driving me nuts lately: dieing. No, you fools! it's "dying". "Dieing" means "to cut or stamp as with a die". Ugh. The sad thing is, most of the people who make
these mistakes claim English as their native language. But, I gotta say, when they write in Gibberish, we're only capable of reading in Bewilderment.

hahaha Oh wow, god that was hard to read at first, but I bet was even harder for you to write. To bad you really can't shoot someone who's that bad at writing.
Well, on to read more.
What's really sad is I've found a couple fics that read like that but have a good concept and storyline. It would be a great story with some major proofreading. I've offer my services as a beta
but get no takers.
Seen a few credit their *younger* sibling as their beta! (Author was 13!)
Oh, if only we could.....sometimes it feels like the following conversation is happening endlessly.
"So, you don't use a beta?"
"Naw, Man, I got rid of it when I got a DVD player!"
*Sigh* Just imagine how harder it is for those of us for whom English is a second language. Either we can't understand the 'alignment of words' (some can't qualify as stories) or we get a headache
at going back in the text to try to find what should be the right spelling then reread the text.
I'm glad my office is isolated, nobody heard me laugh at the ending...
I am very angry at you. There was so much focus on the bad spelling that you forgot all of Harry's little friends: Sirus, Serverus, Hargid, Mafloy, Luscius, Dumbledor (or Dumbldore if you prefer),
Mcgonagal,
And the two most often mis-spelled!
Voldermort and Hermoine!
Love all of your stories, especially Sunset. Keep up the great work!
Thank you! So many times I have wanted to do just such a thing to some poor schmuk writing fanfiction.
My brain hurts....
Alyx! You did us all a favor by shooting that [can think of no appropriate word]......
A very commonly encountered problems very aptly described... it was a bit painful to read....
YES!!!! Alyx, your are officially the new deity I worship, can we go forth in your name and smite all of the evil authors who refuse to use proper grammer and spelling?
"Angel of Mercy"! Hoo Hah!
A fan fic reader's dream come true!
BUT, in fairness: (1)SOME of those butchering the language are ESL writers. You can tell because the writing slowly gets better, from one story to the next.
(2) Much of the rest were edumacated in the People's "Democracy" of California. They thus learn that your Nazi-like notions of grammar and spelling are just uptight assaults on their self esteem.
