Naruto fandom, you still make me smile
Jun. 4th, 2008 03:11 pmWow. My 2004 Naruto parody "Most Dramatic Gut-Wrenchingly Tragic Rape Fic Ever to Grace FF.Net" is on the 'rape fic' page at Fan History Wiki. Weird, the places where fandom stuff shows up that you never find out about later.
Just when I think people have forgotten that fic I get a random review from someone who either hated or loved it. The ratio so far has been about 70/30 in the positive. Of the people who didn't like it, a lot of them complained that I put it in the Tragedy/Drama category instead of Humor, and others seemed actually annoyed that it's rated M but only actually deserves a PG. I guess people really expected to read a rape fic, though how anyone could take the title seriously I've no idea.
Some examples:
I went back into the doc for it and fixed the title to be "...Fic Ever To Grace The Pit Of Voles", since now FF.net erases any indication of the side, like "ffnet" or "ff.net" or "fanfiction.net" and it left my title hanging after "Grace". I also fixed two grammar errors when I replaced the text.
I thought about rewriting it, because it's pretty bad even for a parody fic and I wouldn't mind "improving" it. But I decided that I should leave it as the original since it's been "complete" for four years now, and that's what people have commented on.

Some examples:
* I'm going two ways aboout this. I think it's something you have to hate or love (as evidenced by the reviews) and yet I find myself in a giggly, dissapointed 'WTF?' mood. Either way, I think I kinda like it!
* Jesus Crist! How old are you? That wasn't even close to a rape either. And you'd actually think Itachi would be much smarter than that. I give this a -5 out of 5 stars for wasting my 5 minutes reading this. Ugh!
-From a skilled reader/reviewer- Prio
* Only three words:
My sides hurt.
XD
*...wasted my life on that
* I feel violated as a reader.
Absolutely (if delightfully) disgusting.
* Holy hell. Are you serious? Are you ** serious? That was hilarious. And I enjoyed it. Kudos to you and your crazed up mind.
* what a trojan horse...[sigh]
* Sorry to tell you but your Most Dramatic Gut-Wrenchingly Tragic Rape Fic wasn't that gut-wrenching or tragic at all. it was even kind of stupid and made a mockery of Itachi's character. I suggest you read more into the characters and TRY to keep them within their limits. I seriously doubt Itachi would waste his time going to her house and trying to rape her and then from his own stupidity let her get away and stab him in the eye with a Kunai. it wont happen. Maybe try thinking if you were in their situation and try to imagine how they would handle it. It also wouldn't hurt to get a little more descriptive about what is happening. I know I am not that great of a writer myself, and I'm not trying to insult you. It is a nice plot, a little over-used but a nice plot. It also might help if you dont try to make things out to be different then they are.
