Right there with you! *Readies Bleeprin*

'Ere we go!

Good luck, I guess. Hope you have lots of Bleepka on hand afterwards...

I must admit I did consider doing something like this myself, but I care too much for my remaining sanity to risk it at the moment.

Hopefully you won't melt your brain, but if you do, I'm sure the rest of us will visit the sanatorium of your choice as often as possible.

Nice to see I'm not the only masochistic newbie around, haha~
I think I got through Cupcakes, C*l*b*i*n, My Immortal, C*l*b*i*n a second and third time, and then realised my bedroom curtains were lavender... *shivers*
Anyway, have a 'I hope you don't get scarred to badly' sheep~

Well I've read Celebrian. It's ... just a story that involves objectification of women IN A FANTASY SETTING written by a person with really weird fetishes. I've seen worse.

Cupcakes, which I read before to see what the fuss was about, is just very descriptive gore. Very descriptive gore. And somewhat creepy. But it wasn't that bad.

My Immortal is just wish fulfilment. Badly written wish fulfilment. It also lacks characterisation.

legolas by laura is more wish fulfilment. I think most of the problems people have with it is the terrible plot, the terrible writing and the fact that 'laura' is ten years old and was tortured and raped by orcs. And that she gets into a relationship with her adopted brother. Other than that, it's just another average Mary Sue fic.

The summary alone will kill you.

*and starts painting this swath of the board lavender*

As we keep telling people, reading Legendary Badfics isn't recommended at all. In fact, we discourage it and we don't recognize it as "advancing from newbyedom".

Basically, to stop being a newbye all it takes is to stay in the community for a little while and stopping to consider yourself a newbye.

I haven't read all of them myself, but I have heard a dramatic reading of Celebrian and it was painful. Not the most painful thing, but definitely WTF material.
