I was cruising through the new Games >> Star Wars section over on ff.net and I ran across this little gem: Burning Wounded Love by orligurllchicki.
This story is one of the funniest things I've read in a long, long time. I figure this has to be a troll, because, well, the idea that this is a serious piece is just far too depressing. If it is a troll, then it is a truly brilliant piece of writing...
Some highlights:
[The Exile] was so lightside that her lights meter pulsed with pink hearts dancing around and singing a song. A song [Atton] didn't know the words to, but it was a song that allured him to her cause it was a song he couldnt get out of his head. damn it was a catchy song alright.
and this:
[Atton] took of his gloves and went to go wash his hands, mabye he could come back and touch her, cos he woulnd't mind burnign for her, he already burned, in that special place for her, that specila place that controleld him all the time.
His heart.
I mean really... could someone write this with a straight face?

I'd just like to mention that I was going to link to this piece too in my own lj. Damn, pris. There's an almost poetic meter here, I think. It's got to be a parody, it's too smart not to be.
When I got to "Ashley"...followed by "Brittany Revan" I fell off my chair. I was actually jealous. I think the author wrote other things too...*runs off to read them*
(Also to find a new lj topic for today.)

Exactly. There is also a sense of comedic timing that has to be intentional. The setup of the penis joke turned sappy mush is one fabulous example of that. I almost peed my pants when I read that bit.

Me too. I'm so tempted to add this to our C2 group, except that even though it is under my name, xen is really the one in charge (you can only have one C2 group per account - which is why the one in the Games >> SW section is under my name). I'll have to ask her if it is okay...
But I do think I need to add it to my favorite stories.

The Pirates of the Caribbean one is pretty funny, although not as funny I think as the kotor one...

Oh God... I finally was able to read through the entire thing. *Surprise!*
*Bangs head on the monitor* The ending was superb, I tell ya all! I grew a few more brain cells!!! *Bangs head again* Oh yeah, I wanna kiss Atton and stop him several times only to ask him to kill me! What a lovely ending... *Bangs head*
Pink robes? Oo.. I like!! It's bright too!! Her light meter had what and what? O.o;
*faints*
I know what you guys are thinking. I'm over-reacting. I know sometimes I get my Revan OOC and make some silly mistakes and that my writing still needs a lot of improvement but that...That. Was. Extreme...

No, I think its a troll - it gets in a kind of pro-Disciple backhand bitchslap:
excpet that freak Disciple, cos he's werid and poliet and she didn't like her men to be weird stalker people, who were just weird, cause people whe are nice with out agendas r stalkerz.
I mean, you either believe its a parody or just go insane, so...

Yeah, I've seen fics that are extremely bad; as bad as this actually, and it was clear that the author wasn't joking. Luckily, in the small world of Kotor fandom, they are at a minimum. I think that might be because the people who are Star Wars fans tend to run a bit older than in other fandoms.
On the other hand... looking at the POTC story she did, do people really do that Oh!!1!! thing?
I've seen some actual fics that do this, and I've also seen reviews that do the OMG!!! UR Asum!111! Plz Wrte More!!!!1111!!!1 thing... I'd like to think that it is all one big internet joke or something, but sadly, every time I've seen it, it looks like the writer is serious...
I did think the "pro-Disciple backhand bitchslap" (that's such a fabulous way of putting it - Heh) has to be intentional. As
Plus, if the author were serious, we would probably be seeing a bunch of pissing and moaning about how everyone was flaming them when they reviewed the story.

Good point. But seriously, you've got to admit that at least a quarter of your brain cells actually died in the process of reading it. :p
Then again... poor Di. He needs more lovin'. :p
Btw, how do you make the link of kosiah appear like that?
