Hey, let me do a mission on "My Immortal". If no, then I have some great ideas on what can happen if someone decides to do a mission on this.

I've been through most of the Harry Potter Agent Mission Listings, but I don't think any of them picked up this story:
Title: My Immortal
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2828044/1/My_Immortal
The author has everyone thrown so far out of wack, I think that the actual canon characters have been kidnapped and replaced. Not only that, by she's changed the entire school. Has anyone seen this one being PPC'd? -

Never seen this before, but it sounds quite...not good. I think I'll go read it, as long as it doesn't do anything bad to my mental health (which is already pretty bad thanks to certain Feanorian muses). ANYWAY...being new and all, I can't offer much help in saying whether or not its been PPC'd, but I'll definitely go read it and be appaled by those evil Mary Sues.

A very famous troll, at that. As in, quite possibly the most famous troll in the HP fandom. It was reported on Pottersues a couple of years back before being uncovered as such - that's the only reason I know it's a troll. Most of the earlier reviews are actually funnier than the fic, if you look. I don't blame you for thinking it's genuine, though, it had me fooled for ages. :P

May I ask what a 'troll' is (and I feel stupid asking, but oh well)? It sounds like...something that's intentionally written badly?...
I shall still go read it and laugh though...or cry, depending on how painful it gets. -

A troll, in fanfiction, is written intentionally to show up the stupidity of the badfic out there. Unfortunately, most are as bad, if not worse, than the actual badfic. The general view of most people is 'Why waste your time writing intentional badfic when you can be writing goodfic?'
And don't worry about feeling stupid, no-one's going to bite your head off for asking questions here. ;) -

'Nuff said really. Whoever gets through all 44 chapers wins, not only these two Plovers made out of Bleepolate, but mental scarring.
So, do we go after Trolls? Or do they just sit their and concuss themselves with their clubs? -

We do have a Troll Department, but it's rather defunct and no one's sure exactly what it does.
Sometimes other departments will take trolls. (I think someone did legolas by laura.) -
Yes, someone did take that one. by

It was the Department of Geographical Aberrations, and Agents Dafydd and Selene.

Yup. All 44 chapters (loved ch. 39), and then I read a few pages of reviews, which were even more amusing than the story itself. But yes, Bleeprin...need...Bleeprin.
I have no more brain cells. -

I've done the same thing. Ever heard of "Harmony Hippogriff At Hogwarts?" It was the first true hideous badfic I'd seen, and at the time I was just totally enraged. The author's other works were of like kind- total character replacement, bashing of her hated characters, urple prose, and calling Hermione "Mione," which somehow especially bothers me.
Like you, I found out for sure it was a troll when Pottersues reported it. -
Harmony Hippogriff was funneh. by

If there had not been so much Weasley-bashing, I probably would have laughed my head off, and then some. Cutting off hair for an ultimate sacrifice indeed. Have you seen her version of the epilogue?
Incidentally, have you seen "Rover and the super walmart" by grrittss (or something, I can't remember)? That was my true hideous badfic, and, like you, I was enraged. There was no formatting AT ALL, no spelling, no PLOT. And all the characters were severely OOC - I think Voldemort shot Harry with a shovel. This was reported on Pottersues as well, but I didn't realise what 'Troll' meant at the time. I thought it was below the 'Toxic' rating, so yeah. When I looked at said fic again after realising it was a troll, there was nothing that could spoil the sheer st00pid. It was hilarious. -

Nope, never. I don't think I'm missing anything, barring the shovel. xD
