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...
