The reviews. The sheer number of people who think that insulting, yelling at, and otherwise flaming somebody is a good thing to do is utterly horrifying.

I kinda wanna read this badfic, but I kinda don't want to...

For two reasons.

1/ The previous thread upheld the long-standing view that we shouldn't be PPCing religious fanfic. It's more trouble than it's worth.

2/ Just... go read the last chapter:

Voldemort covered his ears with the discomfort that heathens often find themselves with when they are confronted with the truth; and he shouted loudly to drown out the word of the Lord, "You've been preparing to do this? To scream at me?"

"It is the work of the Lord!" Dumbledore explained accurately.

"Aren't there better ways to spend your time than preaching to a bored idiot who makes fun of people on the internet?" Voldemort questioned hedonistically. "Your Lord seemed to be pretty concerned about helping the people around him. Is that not his work anymore?"

"How can we focus on helping people; when there are people like you trying to destroy us?" Dumbledore countered astutely.

"I told you before, that Reddit account is a joke," Voldemort whined pathetically; but the Reverend shook his head.

"I thought that might be so at first," the Reverend commented fairly. "But it was just too realistic."

"How was it realistic?" Voldemort inquired uninformedly. "It wasn't even subtle! I waxed poetic about the sexiness of neckbeards and said that Christopher Hitchens has superpowers. It was supposed to be funny! How could you take it seriously?"

Dumbledore scoffed; and he replied faithfully, "Like it or not-your little 'joke' is what most atheists today are like."

"So my Reddit account solidified your conception of atheists as a bunch of anti-Christian bigots who are just angry at God?" Voldemort solicited stupidly; and then he sighed. "Okay, you know what, this has gone too far. I'm sure that most people can tell that I'm not being serious, but if I'm contributing to misinformation and stereotypes, I don't feel comfortable continuing this."

Voldemort pulled an iPhone out of his pocket; and he began to type on it. After a few minutes, he showed the screen to Dumbledore. "See this? I just made a post: 'I am a troll.' It is the last post I will make on that account. Are you happy?"

Dumbledore virtuously ignored the heretic; and he turned to the little ones standing behind his protection. "Students of Hogwarts! This fool will not listen to reason. Let's save this heathen's soul!"

Yyyyep. Called it. ^_^ And it was exceptionally well done, too.

The Board agreed a while back that it's so religious in nature it'd be nigh-impossible to mission without offending somebody. Kind of like Bible fanfic missions.

I almost think I remember someone actually trying to publish that properly. I think there was a lawsuit involved, which may be why there is a fanfiction version of it. I may be making up the lawsuit thing though. Though I swear that sounds familiar.

I believe we've already talked about that particular fic before.

Posts like these knock posts at the bottom of the Board off the front page, which is why they are generally frowned upon - and believe me, I would know. I made the same mistake just yesterday, as did Silenthunder a few days ago.
