Pretty sure this is a trollfic. No way ANYONE has SPaG that bad. It’s as if My Immortal had a prep protagonist (also Mary Sue) and the SPaG was worse than My Immortal’s author’s notes, which is saying a LOT. There’s a Mary Sue named Ivy, everyone is OOC, and the SPaG is eyeball-exploding bad. If you can tolerate that, it’s mission-worthy.
If any of you have read the Legendary Badfic My Immortal, I have this semi-horrifying news - there's more! Two Harry Potter badfics in the spirit of My Immortal, by those associated with it. Though at least they have decent SPaG.
Specifically, the author's friend and "editor" wrote the five-chapter I'm Not Okay (link to its page on the My Immortal Wiki, with full text), which features a Mary Sue by the name of Eternity Demen'tia Johnson as a 15-year-old first year (!) falling in love with a gothic, OOC Draco Malfoy. (Among other typical Sueish things that I could rant about.) Should make pretty decent mission material, even if it's not super long.
Additionally, the the author of My Immortal and her friend wrote Ghost of You (also on the My Immortal wiki) which had a possessed Hermione (renamed Maya for some reason), with excessive urple description, goths vs. preps nonsense, Luna-bashing, and Hermione’s being a pureblood. Might be mission-worthy.
Be warned: both have strong language.
As far as I can tell, neither has been brought up before, and neither is on any of the Badfic lists. Please correct me if any of that's not accurate.
This badfic. Dark Yagami, who has already been missioned, returns! This time, SPaG is as bad as ever, and the author keeps talking about “Lesbeans”. I personally like beans.
Only one chapter, though, thank goodness.
This is a confirmed trollfic. It’s like My Immortal but with a prep protagonist, bashing of “nredz” and SPaG worse than My Immortal’s author’s notes, which is saying a LOT. There’s a Mary Sue named Ivy (I think that’s her name), everyone is OOC,(Dumbledore explodes a random Slytherin) and the SPaG is eyeball-exploding bad. If you can tolerate that, it’s mission-worthy.
Would be quite the challenge, but I think I can manage.

Because I think you can manage. Also, if you'd like I maybe could beta this mission.
Also, yeah, it's pretty obviously a troll lol. "Ivy Caroline Celestia Allison Marissa Claire Bieber" has, like, quite a few names. Ivy, Caroline, Allison, and Claire are regular girl names, but Celestia is taken from MLP, as far as I can tell, Marissa is a variant of Marrissa, who is another Sue in another canon, and Bieber is... I hope that's obvious, alongside her supposed "prep" personality.
Personally, there seems to be too MANY typos for it to be sporked and the mission still be funny. I can barely read it as-is, but I suppose it could be sporked in a funny way.
oh hey look! The return of Cliffy!
-kA, who might just read more of this out of morbid curiosity.
He even has his own TVTropes page. But I think a good sporking could be done. Maybe. Again, when I get Permission, perhaps. If you feel like torturing your eyes with such odious SPaG, go ahead. Just don’t say you weren’t warned.
I’m Not Okay, on the other hand? Very sporkable. I want it!
—Ls, who’s unsure why people end posts with status reports.
Here's my (rough idea) for how to spork it: a couple of Assassins or Floaters get frustrated with the SPaG, it affects their speech, and they need the help of the DTE and DoSAT turn off the horrible SPaG and then exorcise the the troll. Thoughts?
You don't have to if you don't want to. I started for no reason (and started doing kA rather than Kittyauthor for equally no reason other than to copy hS but shhhh).

Let's see... apparently I didn't pick it up off the Board, because I was already doing it in my very earliest fanfic, half a year before I knew the Board existed. As I wasn't on any other forums at the time, best guess is I stole the idea from other FFn authors. It serves as a way to distinguish author's notes from story text, I guess?
As for why, hS, rather than Hs or [shudders] HS, that's because Elvish calligraphy. In Tengwar, I write the S curling around a much smaller h. (It's the bottom half of the calligraphed image there.)
hS, still doing it 19 years on
Pancakes. They're evil. Love it.
Wow, you've been doing it longer than I've been alive lol.
Me, on the other hand? I just smushed "Kitty" and "author" together. It's a relic from my "Kittyauthor" period. If you looked at my usernames from this time, you'll see all of them... are Kittyauthor (or some variant).
Technically, I could go on about how Kitty is a reference to my very first username I chose: KittyCatILoveCat. The last cat was intend to be plural (KittyCatILoveCats) but I ran out of characters. So, KittyCatILoveCat it was. My Minecraft username for a little while. Author in itself is a reference to my love for writing, but that's obvious :P, and a reference to my parents' influence to my writing. They always allowed me to write in peace, which is a thing they did right.

Can’t really be shortened, unless I want to be signing off posts with ‘Scar’. And seeing as I don’t want to kill my brother and take the throne, I can’t be that either
Because knS doesn't look exactly pleasing on the eye plus can be mistaken for an initialism of the Generation of Miracles from KuroBasu.
-Yuki, who's been shortening her screen name like this for years.
If no one else wants I'm Not Okay, then I'd love to tackle it for my (still probably pretty distant) first mission. If someone does want it, please take it. Or both.
I haven't even read any of these yet, but what's with putting apostrophes in things?
The apostrophes are bizarre.
