Lurking Puma
My review of the first chapter:
If you are trying to make a good story, on the other hand, I apologize. If that is so, you should stop writing now for the love of all that is good...
Wait. I just realized that that line is rather "preppy". Let's try this again.
If that is so, you should stop writing now or everybody who reads this will hate goths and the bands that you support in this fic in the fear that they will be just like you.
In a completely unrelated note, I wonder how Naruto's universe would support vampires. This is an idea that should have been done much sooner, but I have yet to see one before. I can't wait to see how you do it. It promises to be an... interesting experience.

My reivew:
I bet it's fake.
It feels so prefabricated.
You can't catch lightning in a bottle twice.

Sigh. Here We Go Again!...
Well, it has been said that Naruto is similar to Harry Potter...
What would you say is worse, lurkers: genuine badfic, or a Troll Fic that fails?
I liked it better when Questionable Casting was called WTH Casting Agency
Snow Queen and Proctologist
I'd say somewhere in-between. I know if I was trying to duplicate My Immortal, I'd at least lampshade it
You know you want to add love
The future of warfare in UC.
That...sort of implies non-failure is possible in the manner most trollfics use.
Satire should be amusing. It is in that amusing that success lies, not in duplication.

Nous restons ici.
A troll fic's purpose is to enrage its audience. If it fails to do that, then yeah, it fails as a troll fic. That said, duplicating the style of the most infamous fanfic on the Internet is a way to fail as a troll fic, because once a troll fic is recognized, it ceases to have any power to infuriate.
I think better troll stories nowadays ought to have perfect spelling and grammar. It makes them harder to spot. No more My Immortal clones, they just don't work anymore.
Just awesome like that
But could it be a successful way to troll trollfic writers/fans?
Tell that to the guy who got struck by lightning on seven separate occasions throughout his life.

Insert witty and clever quip here. My page, as the database hates my handle.
But was there a bottle involved?
Just awesome like that
He did have a bucket on two of those occasions, close enough?
Insert witty and clever quip here. My page, as the database hates my handle.
No it wouldn't, because then it becomes a meta mess. Most people would just do a parody of trollfics, not a "trollfictrollfic", if that makes sense, because I doubt most trolls appreciate their subject matter anyway, and it'd be preposterously difficult to discern the author's intent with the latter.
Just awesome like that
So what you're saying is it's mostly something that would more successfully troll people who theorize about trollfics?

Whoa! Ahoge!
So wait... good grammar, horrible plot and canon defilement?
I wonder when we'll get to the point where a troll fic is so well-written it could be up there with, say, Sherlock Holmes.
Gay elephant noise?
Forever walking upstairs
Well, the grammar/spelling is much worse than in MI. That had gotten pretty bad towards the end, though, so maybe it is Tara and her writing degrades over time?
Or it's a troll and I'm overthinking it.
Roast beef. The Swedish term for beef that is roasted. My dream is to own a TARDIS.
Or it's a degrading troll.
If Tara's writing got worse...
By the next fic, Oh, I dread it.
If that's the case, by the next fic maybe she won't even know how to handle the computer keyboard at all.
Maybe by then the words will be so mangled every word needs to be deciphered separately.
Whoa! Ahoge!
I think it's a troll.
I pmed "tara" and got the troll's resposne. Obviously her avatar is an edited K-on pic.
Gay elephant noise?
You mean that the person there actually said s/he was a troll?
Whoa! Ahoge!
No. But I asked her if her avatar was from K-on and she had edited it. She responded no I drew it myself. I asked her if it was edited in any way. She said no, she drew it from scratch.
Meh, here's the thing:
Me: OMS YOUR PROFILE PIC IS FROM K-ON!!!! I LOVE THAT ANIME!!!!!!
"Tara": idk wut ur talkin bout u prep i drew dat pic nd idk who kon iz
And it's obviously K-On. I think it's a troll.
Gay elephant noise?
In some ways this fic is too similar to My Immortal. I think it's more likely this is due to someone imitating the previous fic rather than Tara having exactly the same writing style as before (it has been a while).
I think it's obvious that this is a troll fic. Either that or the original "Tara" was merely a troll too.
That, and if Tara was a real person I think she would most likely be writing horrible Twilight fanfics now, whereas an actual troll would be more like "Meh too easy" or "I'd rather troll people who aren't fans of Twilight as well".
Whoa! Ahoge!
Oh, and now there's xxxbloodygoff666xxx
Gay elephant noise?
So apparently the author of My Immortal wrote a Naruto fic called Time Of Your Life. The two are VERY similar, featuring the same spelling mistakes, the same drama between Tara and Raven, and the same war between "goffs" and "prepz". Fic located here
