5-->--Opening to ''One Less Lonely Gurl''
6
7''One Less Lonely Gurl'' by [[Creator/MonicaGilbeyBieber Monica Gilbey-Bieber]] is an infamous ''WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants'' trollfic.
8
9C'ren Amethyst Le Heart-Bieber is an 18-year-old marine biologist who was tasked to gather some specimen of coral reef on an ordinary day, and when she dove into the waters, she found an exceptionally huge coral reef that actually contains a portal to the world of [=SpongeBob SquarePants=], where the characters have actually been turned into humans.
10
11The plot centers more around Music/JustinBieber than [=SpongeBob=] himself. C'ren is then revealed to be a crazy, delusional person with plans to rule the world and have Justin to herself forever, using her discovery of this new universe as a front for her plan by injecting mind-control serum into all the patties and destroying all rival food sources, leaving everyone with no choice but to eat the infected patties. Aside from that, she wants to avenge herself from a past of abuse.
12
13This fic has been said to be the preppy equivalent of ''Fanfic/MyImmortal'' because of their similarities, including a Justin Bieber concert, [[RougeAnglesofSatin horrible grammar and spelling]], CanonDefilement, rude author's notes, and music genre bashing.

15A partial repost can be found in the [[http://trollseyeview.blogspot.com/ author's official Blogspot page]] with commentary from the author himself. Also, a full version can be found [[http://onelesslonelygurlfanfic.blogspot.com/ here]], reposted by the author himself.

17Now has [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/9238498/1/One-Less-Lonely-Gurl-The-Remake a remake.]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqJ0f67wzw4 And a (so far incomplete) dramatic reading]].
18
19Compare ''FanFic/DaIvyCuvrdWalsUvHigwsrts'', which reads like the ''Literature/HarryPotter'' version of this fanfic, but has a worse plot and grammar. Compare and contrast ''Fanfic/PlanktonsEyeView'', which is another fanfic by the same author, and ''Fanfic/MyImmortal''.
20
21----
22!! ''One Less Lonely Gurl'' contains examples of:
23
24* AbusiveParents: Subverted in that C'ren's abuser is not her real mother, but the real wife of her biological father. Her biological father cheated on her with another woman with whom he had C'ren.
25* AddedAlliterativeAppeal: The final chapter of the fanfic is called '''C'''oming '''C'''lean as it's about the author explaining what's really up with the fanfic.
26* AllJustADream: [[spoiler:The whole thing was just a crazy dream by a hooker in Russia.]]
27* AlternateUniverse: [[spoiler:The fanfic is a story within a story which is set in an alternate universe which also turns out to be a dream. That explains why everyone is out of character.]]
28* ArtisticLicense: Bikini Bottom and Atlantis are two separate places.
29* ArtisticLicenseBiology: Apparently, getting bitten by a rabies-infected snail will make you act like one.
30* ArtisticLicenseChemistry: Apparently, [[spoiler:combining human D.N.A. with that of a rabid snail that ate spoiled Krabby Patties will create a pink mind-control serum that, when ingested by anyone, he/she becomes a mind-controlled slave of the human owner of the D.N.A. sample.]]
31* ArtisticLicenseEconomics: C'ren and Bob earned millions of dollars for one day of work at the Krusty Krab.
32* ArtisticLicenseEngineering: C'ren programming all the love a wife has into K-3N, Karen's replacement. Apparently, it is possible to program love, a human emotion, into a computer.
33* ArtisticLicenseGeography: There is a portal to Atlantis under The Bermuda Triangle which is accessed by going inside a giant, iridescent coral reef which will lead first to [[FanFic/MyImmortal ebony darkness.]]
34* ArtisticLicensePhysics: Apparently, a neon sign underwater does not cause electrocution. Generally, everything that happens inside the giant coral reef is this. C'ren even lampshades this in the remake.
35* {{Atlantis}}: The setting of the story, where the Bermuda Triangle is supposed to lead to. According to the fanfic, Bikini Bottom is a city in this state.
36* AuthorAppeal: Plankton hating rock music (though at least one episode proved that wrong), almost if not all of Bikini Bottom liking Justin Bieber, Bieber himself showing up in the fanfic and dating C'ren... basically the whole fanfic is made of this trope. This was subverted altogether when the author revealed that his true personality and appearance are the polar opposite of Monica's.
37* AuthorAvatar: C'ren is blatantly a perfected (and even more deranged) version of the author's alter-ego Monica.
38* AuthorFilibuster: There are 'chapters' with rude author's notes that are longer than the chapter itself.
39%% * BastardBastard: C'ren.
40* BeautyEqualsGoodness: This is a somewhat complicated example. C'ren's half-brother who raped her repetitively is described as fat and ugly, and depicted as evil, justified because the story was being narrated by C'ren. It turns out after all that her half-brother is [[AntiHero not]] the real villain of the story, but C'ren herself, who is described as beautiful. This was again played straight when [[spoiler:James, the author, describes C'ren as someone who a man would see next to his bed after a nasty hangover or someone anyone would only get caught with after losing a bet.]]
41* TheBermudaTriangle: In this fanfic, it is said that C'ren found the coral reef with a portal to the ''WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants'' universe in the Bermuda Triangle. According to C'ren, this might explain why ships and aircraft mysteriously disappear: those who disappeared are now inhabitants of Atlantis, where Bikini Bottom is found. However, [=Human!SpongeBob=] explains that aircraft and ships disappear because of the sins of land humans, thus forbidding them to enter the underwater utopia of Atlantis. Instead, the land humans end up disappearing.
42* {{Bizarrchitecture}}: [=Human!SpongeBob=] still lives in a pineapple in this fanfic.
43* BrawnHilda: Pearl, despite her girly attitude. She barges into the Chum Bucket and destroys everything with a [[PinkMeansFeminine pink]] [[BatterUp baseball bat]], thus starting a riot.
44* BreakingTheFourthWall: C'ren attempting to explain to Plankton that they are all figments of the imagination of a marine biologist named Stephen Hillenburg.
45* BrotherSisterIncest: C'ren and her half-brother, who'd raped her.
46* ChemistryCanDoAnything: The potion that will allow Bieber to breathe underwater and the mind control serum made of the saliva of a rabid snail.
47%% * CrapsaccharineWorld: What the world became under C'ren's rule.
48* CurseCutShort: WordOfGod confirms that when C'ren introduced herself to [=Human!SpongeBob=], she was about to say that [[ShoutOut she wished to be related to Justin Bieber]] [[Fanfic/MyImmortal because he is a major fucking]] [[{{BrotherSisterIncest}} hottie]]. However, [=Human!SpongeBob=] interrupted her when he told her that Justin Bieber is the biggest star in all of Atlantis.
49* CustomUniform: In the remake, it is stated that C'ren's diving suit is a sleek, pink catsuit without the bulky equipment that other divers have because of her SuperNotDrowningSkills. She is also the one assigned the difficult job of diving down the deep trenches to retrieve the rare coral reefs.
50%% * DaddysGirl: C'ren.
51* DarkerAndEdgier: The remake is this, given that it is written in James's writing style. In the first chapter, C'ren says that the corpses of the people who disappeared probably filled the inside of the coral reef, or worse, they might still be alive, just like her, but their [[AndIMustScream screams]] cannot be heard in the VoidBetweenTheWorlds. Not what you'd expect from a fanfic entitled [[Music/JustinBieber One Less Lonely Gurl]], right?
52* DearNegativeReader: The author's notes are often along the lines of DontLikeDontRead and LetsSeeYouDoBetter. However, James mentions that the remake will [[AvertedTrope not have rude author's notes.]]
53* DomesticAbuse: C'ren's father was abused by his wife.
54* DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale: Averted. While it might be somewhat justified that C'ren's father will get abused by his wife as punishment for cheating on her, the story still portrays abuse in a negative light. This is possibly a hint of James's true personality showing through, given that he takes the subject of DomesticAbuse very seriously.
55* DreamWithinADream: [[spoiler:In Chapter 5, C'ren was having a nightmare. The whole story was just a dream.]]
56* EldritchLocation: The interior of the coral reef C'ren discovered is depicted as this in the remake. Heck, the setting of the '[=SpongeBob=] universe' is this.
57* EvenEvilHasStandards: The part where Plankton says that C'ren is going too far with her plan. C'ren won the argument anyway.
58* TheEvilsOfFreeWill: C'ren's motive. [[spoiler:She wants the world to be one big SugarBowl, free of the evils of [[RockMeAsmodeus rock music]] and goth culture.]]
59* FatBastard: Subverted with C'ren's half-brother, who, though described as an overweight asshole, turns out to be an AntiHero.
60* FictionalDocument: [[spoiler:The whole thing, including the fact that Kataryna Simovitch (C'ren's real name) was just dreaming about being C'ren, is just a book that a fictional author, possibly the real self-insert, submitted as an entry for the (fictional) annual Worst Piece of Literature contest being held in the universe where ''[[FanFic/PlanktonsEyeView Plankton's Eye View]]'' is being held. ''Plankton's Eye View'' starts with Plankton ''actually'' reading the fanfic itself.]]
61%% * GlurgeAddict: C'ren.
62* GrammarNazi: Monica's author's notes in later chapters indicates that she has become this, correcting her reviewers' grammatical errors rather rudely.
63* GutPunch: From the point when Justin Bieber got written off the story, the following events took a darker, more sci-fi turn.
64* HalfHumanHybrid: WordOfGod has mentioned that, should he have continued to write this story while still posing as Monica, he would have eventually revealed that C'ren's mother was actually a mermaid (and a daughter of King Neptune, which would've made C'ren [[LongLostRelative Neptune's granddaughter (and possibly Mindy's niece, depending on the version of Neptune)]]), thus explaining how [[SuperNotDrowningSkills C'ren could breathe underwater]].
65* InheritedIlliteracyTitle: One Less Lonely Gurl as a title is obviously this.
66* InNameOnly: With the characters getting humanized except for Karen and Sandy, having name changes, and acting OutOfCharacter for a decent chunk of it, it's sometimes hard to tell that it's really a [=SpongeBob=] story.
67%% * InsaneTrollLogic: Most of the pseudo-science stuff in the later chapters is this.
68%% * LethalChef: Plankton and C'ren [[spoiler:when she infects all the Krabby Patties with mind-control serum.]]
69%% * LightIsNotGood: Played straight with C'ren.
70* LostWorld: Atlantis, which is where the WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants universe in this FanFic is.
71* LoudOfWar: C'ren's half-brother made her listen to Music/GreenDay and Music/AvengedSevenfold in full volume, much to her misery. This is [[IncessantMusicMadness not intentional]] on his part though because he has a good reason for doing this. However, this trope applies because his mother took advantage of C'ren's hatred for the two bands and forced her son to use these as tools of [[CoolAndUnusualPunishment torment]] on her husband's illegitimate child.
72* MaleGaze: All the official artworks of C'ren seem to emphasize her... assets. Remember, the author is actually a guy.
73* MindControlDevice: The saliva of the rabid snail combined with human DNA apparently hypnotizes people.
74%% * OnlySaneMan: Two of them, actually: Plankton and Fred Rechid. C'ren forced them to subvert this later on.
75* OnlyShopInTown: Invoked. [[spoiler:C'ren and Plankton destroyed all other rival food sources in Bikini Bottom in order to force everyone to eat the mind-controlling patties and turn them all into C'ren's slaves.]]
76%% * OutOfCharacter: Basically all the canon characters in this fanfic are this. Plankton seems to be an exception.
77* ParodyNames: In the remake, Music/JustinBieber is renamed Justin Bleber.
78* ParodySue: C'ren turns out to be one.
79* ThePowerOfRock: WordOfGod says that this is the true motive of C'ren's half-brother of making C'ren listen to rock music; to alleviate her pain. However, C'ren took it the wrong way and instead interpreted rock music as one of the main reminders of her misery.
80* PurpleProse: Seen in the first few chapters, in the physical description of C'ren and the portal that leads to Bikini Bottom. More so in the remake.
81* PunctuationShaker: C'ren.
82* [[RapeAsBackstory Rape Is The New Dead Parents]]: This fanfic actually combines both. In the fifth chapter, C'ren was having a flashback of her past through a nightmare where she narrates about her father cheating on his true wife, and that she is the daughter of the other woman who died giving birth to her. The insane wife then commanded her son (C'ren's half-brother) to rape C'ren everyday. Furthermore, she also stabbed her husband in front of seven-year-old C'ren, thus leaving C'ren an orphan.
83* RealitySubtext: Plankton and the author share names. (Plankton's second name is James.) They are also both short-statured. In this fanfic, C'ren seems to be attracted to Plankton, (see the UnresolvedSexualTension entry found in this page) as the Monica persona has been said to like short men. In reality, James was rejected by a (tall) girl he was attracted to. This then leads to the possibility that Plankton is the real SelfInsert and that the story satirizes his love life.
84* RealPersonFic: Bieber appearing in the story.
85* RewardedAsATraitorDeserves: C'ren telling Pearl about how gullible the latter is, and TheReveal that [=SpongeBob=] and Pearl are actually posers who like rock music.
86* RougeAnglesOfSatin: Chapters 1 to 4 were filled with these, and the more notable one, 'do not' vs. 'donut' has been [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] in a later chapter's author's note, the logo of the rehost site, and the disclaimer in the rehost site. [[AvertedTrope The remake has better spelling and grammar, however.]]
87* RunningGag: The donut has become a trademark of this fanfic. It all began with the [[RougeAnglesOfSatin very first author's note.]] The author now uses the word donut instead of don't when making any references to this fanfic. It even became the logo of the rehost website.
88* SceneryPorn: The author describes the makeovers done to the Krusty Krab and The Chum Bucket in vivid detail, possibly because of AuthorAppeal on the part of both personas, Monica being a GirlyGirl who loves to describe how pink the place is and James being an architecture student. In fact, the clothing descriptions you will find in this story are described normally, proportional to every character and almost resembles what the character is wearing in canon.
89%% * TheSchlubPubSeductionDeduction: C'ren does this to Plankton.
90* ScrewTheRulesImBeautiful: C'ren and Justin Bieber. The rules of the universe where this fanfic was held clearly state that land humans are not allowed in Atlantis because of their sins. Justin Bieber and C'ren, instead of suffering whatever the consequences of trespassing are, end up becoming celebrities instead. Justin Bieber was able to go back up to the land to continue his tour (thus writing him out of the story) despite the fact that land humans are supposed to disappear once they pass the Bermuda Triangle. This was [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] by C'ren when she asked [=Human!SpongeBob=] why Justin Bieber is famous underwater. This may be subverted for C'ren because [[spoiler:according to the commentary, C'ren is actually half-mermaid and is the granddaughter of Neptune. That will explain how she can breathe underwater. Then again, she is just a crazy person with a crazy dream.]]
91* SensualSpandex: C'ren wears a pink catsuit (that exposes her cleavage) as her diving suit.
92* SheIsNotMyGirlfriend: [=SpongeBob=] had to explain that C'ren wasn't his girlfriend even though he had her stay over at his house for the night.
93* ShoutOut: There are a lot of these in the story.
94** WordOfGod also confirms that there are several ''Fanfic/MyImmortal'' shoutouts in this story, such as the part where C'ren describes the inside of the coral reef as ebony darkness and says that she's not related to Music/JustinBieber.
95** There is also a Music/LinkinPark shoutout in the same chapter.
96** In the same chapter too, there is a shoutout to ''Literature/TheEyeOfArgon''.
97** Ward, who was supposed to be Squidward, is a shoutout to ''[[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII Final Fantasy VIII]]'' and yet another shoutout to ''My Immortal'', considering that Lucian, a character in My Immortal who was supposed to be Lucius, is also a character in ''VideoGame/ValkyrieProfile''.
98** There are shoutouts to VideoGame/TheSims such as [[FunWithAcronyms SIMS]] and Chimps (stands for: Super Intelligent Mutant Squirrels and Chimps) Sandy's organization, and [[spoiler:C'ren's real last name, Simovitch, which is Betty Newbie's last name.]] Also, the fact that she wants to control everybody's minds is a possible shoutout to The Sims, so much so that this might very well be a The Sims fanfic.
99** There is an ''Series/ICarly'' shoutout here, when C'ren told Mr. Krabs that she will give him a Texas Wedgie if he does not hand her the formula.
100** There is a Music/MyChemicalRomance shoutout, where Mr. Krabs mentions that [[WaxingLyrical teenagers scare the living]] [[SoundEffectBleep dolphin chirp]] out of him.
101* ShownTheirWork: In the remake, it is depicted that the portal to the [=SpongeBob=] universe is found in the deepest trenches near the Bermuda Triangle, and in fact, there [[http://adventure.howstuffworks.com/bermuda-triangle8.htm are]] deep trenches near the Bermuda Triangle, which could possibly explain why ships disappear there. Also, C'ren now mentions something about being able to withstand water pressure in the deep seas, which wasn't considered in the original version.
102* SirensAreMermaids: It has been explained that C'ren has SuperNotDrowningSkills because [[spoiler:she is a half-mermaid. WordOfGod explains that the fact that the common pronunciation of the name C'ren is see-ran is connected to this trope.]]
103* StatuesqueStunner: C'ren is 5'10.
104* SuperNotDrowningSkills: C'ren being able to somehow breathe underwater without any given explanation was something that a lot of reviewers complained about. This would've eventually been explained should the author have continued the story.
105* TakeThat: Against Music/GreenDay, Music/AvengedSevenfold, Music/MyChemicalRomance, Music/GoodCharlotte, Music/BlackVeilBrides, Music/{{Slipknot}}, Music/{{Disturbed}}, Fanfic/MyImmortal, Music/{{Metallica}}, Music/LynyrdSkynyrd, Music/{{Evanescence}}, {{Emo}}, HeavyMetal, and {{Goth}}.
106* TakeThatCritics: The author's notes in this story, excluding the last few chapters, get nastier and longer.
107* TheresNoKillLikeOverkill: C'ren's father was stabbed to the very death. Possibly an Music/AvengedSevenfold shoutout, because he died on C'ren's seventh birthday, and also, the song A Little Piece of Heaven has a zombie woman stabbing a lover who violated her.
108* TinyGuyHugeGirl: Plankton, who is short both in canon and in the story, and C'ren, who is 5'10. Also, Bieber and C'ren. The Monica persona has been said to be attracted to short guys, so the same is most likely true for [[SelfInsert C'ren]].
109* TitleDrop: Seen whenever C'ren thinks of being Justin Bieber's One Less Lonely Gurl, when Bieber sings her the song in the date, and when Ward tells C'ren about his new job as Bieber's new clarinet player.
110* TrollFic: The author himself has already confirmed this in the last chapter.
111* UnresolvedSexualTension: C'ren and Plankton. This gets more and more obvious as the chapters go by. There is even a line which states that C'ren programmed all the love a wife can have on Plankton's new computer wife after Pearl broke Karen with a pink baseball bat. WordOfGod also states that had he continued writing the TrollFic, he would include sex scenes with C'ren and Justin Bieber in the Kelp Forest. Aside from that, he also stated that there is someone else that C'ren has feelings for, and he is strongly hinting that it's actually Plankton. Oh, and C'ren's name is pronounced Karen, so this might [[MeaningfulName mean]] something... [[spoiler:James revealed in a Website/DeviantArt journal entry that Plankton did become part of C'ren's harem. However, there remains still the possibility that he was just fooling around because it is a CrackFic character meme. Oh, and aside from that, James did say that C'ren did become a {{Dominatrix}}-turned-[[AGodAmI Goddess]] in FanFic/PlanktonsEyeView, Chapter 1...]]
112* VillainProtagonist: C'ren (and, to a certain extent, Plankton) becomes this much later in the story, turning [=SpongeBob=], Pearl, Mr. Krabs and even [[EnsembleDarkhorse Fred the Fish]] into {{Hero Antagonist}}s of sorts.
113* VoidBetweenTheWorlds: Vividly described in the remake as the interior of the coral which turns out to be a portal to Atlantis.
114%% * WalkingShirtlessScene: Patrick, Larry, and Fred the Fish.
115* WaxingLyrical: Mr. Krabs complains to Pearl about teenagers using the lyrics to Teenagers by Music/MyChemicalRomance.
116* WrenchWench: C'ren when she dismantled the engines of Justin Bieber's submarine and when she created [=K3N=], a new computer wife for Plankton.
117%% * {{Yandere}}: C'ren for Bieber. Her father's true wife as well.
