Until I read this article I never heard “My Immortal”, which many consider one of the very worst examples of “fan fiction”. To say the least, I’m intrigued. You might be too:
“My Immortal” is a nearly 23,000 word long story featuring the cast of Harry Potter in a weird, very weird bit of fan fiction which features a goth vampire central character, sexual escapades, vulgarities, misspellings of character names, etc. etc.
There are those who feel this work has to be a knowing parody of fan fiction but…I’m not so sure. Still, the article is fascinating, especially given the fact that the author -or authors!- remain a mystery to this day.
Fascinating stuff!
