Sad to say this but I read the whole damn thing in one sitting. I had to wash my brain out rigt after that but it was my own damn fault for being bored. I'm still wanting those three hours of my life back. How did you get away without going insane? I had to do it in at least 3 sittings.

Also, it could have been because I had a bout of insomnia before reading it. Either way, I want those three hours back damnit!!!

I read My Immortal in one sitting too...I actually felt my brain hurt from reading it.

I actually had a real eye twitch the day after. My parents thought I was having an allergic reaction to something. Which you could say was true due to the level of idiocy that had to be involved to write that abomination...

I read My Immortal with a group of friends during our lunch period. It was hilarious.

Like Jo BeKke does? Or My Immortal? I am ridiculously happy that I have never taken a closer look at those. I fear they might have made my brain leak out of my ears... I shall never ever get close to those. Even if you post a link here. I will not, click on it. No, I will not. Won't. No. *shudder* Beware this fic can cause early stages of dementia and possible brain death: www.fanfiction.net/s/6829556/1/My_Immortalmyimmortalrehost2.webs.com/

I showed one of my best friends My Immortal at a lunch break. He read the entire commentary version, turned to me the next day, and demanded back his childhood. I spent the entire day teasing him about goffik stuff and kept saying fangz. He stopped talking to me for a while But Kuma, I think you summed up my feelings perfectly. The only regret I have with this site is that it distracts me from reality and writing. But this place, it's like, a big warm family type feeling, and even if I tend to clash my views with someone else, I know that doesn't mean I'm going to get smited into hell, or be bashed. It's like a safe little corner of the internet where I can be a fan-girl and debate my favorite characters and know that even if I tend to disagree with someone, it won't end up a psychotic internet mess.

Haha I know what you mean! There's always somewhere to post and something to discuss! But it is loads of fun! I think this place is the way it is because we left a disorganized mess like FFN. We learned what we didn't want in a site and went by it.

*snickers* I tried to read it via a commentary fic of it... I lasted 2 chapters. Ha ha my little brother and I got through 19 chapters of Jo BeKke's story before we couldn't take it any more, though we do use what we read as a running joke to annoy our sister as she has no idea what we are talking about.

I read the first two chapters of My Immortal and I think I lost a couple of brain cells. I wonder how someone even thought that was worth publishing.
As for texting language, I rarely even use it when I text as I don't like it. And yes, I'd never read a fic written in texting.

I use text language when I text, not in an actual conversation and I don't get it when someone writes a story in it. I also can't stand it when they write in chat format, it drives me insane.
I've only read commentaries of My Immortal and all the while I was like......"what the......" What was that person thinking of when writing it?

I think Jo belke or whatever was just a troll looking to create an awful story to make people hate it and become famous.
My immortal...I want to say the same, but I have a feeling that was actually a story that someone wanted thought was great. It was too, seriously written and not offensive enough to seem fake.

Someone confessed to co-writing My Immortal as a troll, but no one knows how true this is, because other people mention that the name behind the fic has too much of presence other sites for this to be true.

I feel the same way about My Immortal which is why it makes me sick when I see someone writing a story that bashes it. Yes we all know it is terrible but that doesn't give people the right to purposely write stories that make fun of it. Frankly I see it as bullying. Think about how that author must feel seeing all of that. I know I would be crushed. Which is why for their sakes I hope it truly was someone writing badly on purpose just to get attention and not an author that tried their best and actually had the courage to post something.

I'm under the impression that it was written by a troll, because of the way she insulted people in her author's notes.

I've never actually read it myself just heard how notoriously bad it is and googled it to see what it was about (it actually has a wiki page) when I noticed the sudden surge of stories making fun of it.

Just to let you know: You have tempted me, but I persevered. I did not click on your links. Much like kuma, I kind of remember to have looked into it once years ago, and subsequently erased all memory of it from my mind. I am fairly certain that I did that for a reason, so - no clicking on the links. ;D

I'm so glad I never read that stuff... and when I first heard/read of My Immortal, I thought of the song by Evanescence... Haha. I think I'll skip out though, thanks for the warnings!

I think that Jo Bekke in it's original form no longer exists on the internet, just comment versions. If I am wrong, I don't care.
But My Immortal is definitely still around, and actually was known so much as the worst fanfiction ever written, that there was an internet meme. I find this interesting, but not interesting enough to actually look at any of the videos and pics that resulted.

I think Jo BeKke was a troll because nobody can be that stupid. And then there's her friend she recommended who's fics are just like hers.
