Never Live It Down / Real Life

NeverLiveItDown.Fan Works

  • Kalash 93, despite his long history of serious stories and war dramas, will always be best known for Hot Button Beach Day.
  • HELICOPTER CRASH KILLS 25 HOSTAGES (...And a dude who slept with his stepmom!)
  • If you're feeling unkind, fanfiction in general is this trope, since Sturgeon's Law dictates that the bulk of fans even inclined to write fanfiction at all are abominably terrible writers.
  • Sergeant Sprinkles will forever be known as the guy who wrote the very gorny My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fan fic known as Cupcakes. While he does appreciate the fanart and attention it gets, he'd rather you read some of his other work and didn't think of him as "That cupcakes guy".
  • Thanks to ham-handed writing, Blaze - author of The Conversion Bureau - is widely seen as an absolute misanthrope. Likewise, the misanthropy-laced first chapter is widely mistaken as emblematic of the fic and its 'verse as a whole.

NILP against authors violates the 25 year waiting period for RL examples. And the "HELICOPTER CRASH" is a ZCE. Will cut unless I hear any objections.

Is there a cleanup thread for NLID yet?

I created a thread for cleaning up Never Live It Down examples here.

And yes, cut cut cut. Especially the last one that is troping the author as a misanthrope.

Thomas fans needed! Come join me in the the show's cleanup thread!
