It HAS to be a trollfic. Supposedly Halo and Haruhi crossover, with Call Of Duty and Harry Potter thrown in, but in fact completely unreadable. Author has only this story, and his name screams "anonymous troll" loud.
Have we hit the bottom of the Pit (pun intended) with this one? -

But the General Case of Poe's Law ("It is impossible to tell for certain the difference between genuine stupidity and a parody of stupidity.") always kicks in at times like this.
Just out of curiosity, are there actual Trolls that live in the bottom of the Pit? I personally think that's a rather amusing image... -

Never heard of it, nor does the PPC wiki have any mention of it. Would you be so kind as to go into detail on this subject?

4chan is this massive, nigh-on totally unrestricted imageboard, full to the brim with trolls, hackers, internet vigilantes, and other disreputable types, all totally anonymous. One description I've heard is 'the Mois Eisley of the Internet', and it's pretty damn accurate. Y'know the Rules of the Internet? It's the list that Rules 34 and 35 come from. Replace every instance of 'the internet' with '4chan', and you'll get some idea. Well over half the memes on the web come from the depths of 4chan, including Lolcats, Rickrolling, and Chocolate Rain, and those are just the highlights. They're also notable for being banned in at least half a dozen countries, Rickrolling the Church of Scientology in real life, and spamming the servers in the Australian Parliment with porn until every Australian government site in existance crashed.
Nasty.
P.S. Incidentally, the first Rule of the Internet is 'You do not talk about (4chan).' Second Rule of the Internet: 'You do not talk about (4chan).' Keep in mind that you didn't hear any of this from me... -

... But I feel this is unfairly negative. I frequent 4chan as a lurker and a lot of it isn't nearly so hostile.
But it IS very anonymous, so if one IS hostile, then that person can't be tracked. So they do run rampant.
But not everywhere. And not every anon is a troll or hacker or disreputable. Anonymous is defined not as an identity, but as the content it puts forward. What the anonymous provides is the only identity of anonymous.
Anonymous that supports Egyptian freedom is very different from Anonymous that trolls Gaia Online.
So Anonymous isn't ALWAYS bad. But there's a lot of bad content despite that. >_> -

But the bad stuff tends to be more interesting for one thing, and for two thing, I was talking about it in reference to trolls and suchlike so that's what I was emphasizing.

We've got people who are on 4-chan who drop in on occasion, we've got people who've never heard of them, and then there's the rest of us in between. Similarly, we've got people from every continent and a handful of islands posting around, as well. We like our diversity, we do.

Why would anyone want to deliberately write something that bad?
And why do I think that a genuine HaruhixHalo crossover might actually be fun to read? -
Because it has the potential for being VERY funny, I think. by

Look for example at Shadow Crystal Mage's fanfictions. Card Captor Harry, while you can think it's completely wrong as a crossover, is one of the funniest thing I've ever read. And his (or her? Didn't manage to find any indication about gender.) crackfics are the best. "Takamachi Nanoha of 2814" is EPIC.

...and I cannot imagine liking any story that tried to cross it with the Halo universe. I mean, maybe if the Halo people wound up being conjured by Haruhi and were effectively a subplot of an episode... but it definitely would have to play second fiddle.
Alright, so I proved myself wrong in the same paragraph that I made my initial statement. -

But a friend of mine does, and I know enough about it to say it's good. That's the reason why one of my Agents instead of saying "for God's sake" says "for Haruhi's sake" (I quite don't like involving religion in what I write)

The original light novels were actually slightly better than the anime, at least if the unofficial translations that I read were accurate. (I'd provide a link, but they were removed after the novels were licensed for American distribution).
Anyway, there were also a couple of vignettes, entirely unrelated to the actual storyline, where Haruhi and company somehow ended up as characters in various settings: a Final-Fantasy-type adventure, a Star-Trek-like space opera, and I think a Wild West scenario. Combine this with the fact that almost my entire knowledge of Halo comes from watching Red Vs. Blue...
Yeah, it'd probably involve multiplayer-mode, death-is-cheap hijinks, utter confusion on the part of the underlings, and the expected dose of Haruhi-related hilarity. If that makes any sense at all. -
Then I'll probably only like the Light Novels even more. by

And it ends with the main character and narrator ending it all to go to the bathroom. IMHO it surely deserves an article on our wiki.
