Honestly, I am convinced the writing style of these stories is deliberate -- there are too many common elements among the stories (not to mention bits and pieces of competent English in certain stories) for them to be anything but manufactured. Actually, I'd be pretty impressed if these stories were deliberately bad: The badness is actually fairly clever.

I know it'll never happen, but I wish FF.net had some form of quality control. There's waaaaaaaay too many stories of substandard or simply appalling writing quality. =3=

Also, I must congratulate you for finding the greatest thing on the Internet.

I read his Halo one and laughed out loud at my office. Now I'm embarrassed :(

I'm going to be danube-ing this all day tomorrow when I should be writing American History essays.

Oh my gosh. This dude's written for, like, five thousand fandoms. He's danube-ing all over the place.

To danube or not danube, that is the Serbia.
