It's known as the Oppai-Kaiju effect. The islands of Japan generate a sort anti-gravity field, which allows breasts to behave as if in microgravity. It's also what allows Godzilla and friends to become 50 stories tall, and lets ninjas run up the side of a skyscraper.

My third offering: "An Unexpected Courtship". Because when a fic has over 62,000 words and includes in its blurb the statement "Dominant Draco/Submissive Harry. Pregnant Harry," you know you're in for a treat.

And, much shorter: "The hat continued his grinding motions atop her head, groaning softly with each thrust."

@Footjob, you can microwave most grains I've tried pretty easily through the microwave, even if they aren't packaged for it.

I think you misspelled "threat" there, bucko. In that it would threaten my sanity, which is admittedly quite flimsy and would probably collapse under a stiff metaphorical breeze.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Good gods, if that's enough to threaten your sanity never go anywhere near ff.n's Harry Potter section. There's literally hundreds (possibly thousands, really) as bad or worse than that. Basically that exact setup, too.

I have precisely once seen mpreg (Male Pregnancy, for those fortunate enough to not know. Now you know!*) pulled off, and that was with a werewolf whose wolf form was female. That was a Harry Potter fic, too, and actually readable (without the urge for the gouging of the eyes and gnashing of teeth, etc., so forth.). Forgot the name of the thing years ago, though.

I've decided not to read too much fanfiction because I'm still reeling from Sonichu and related business.

As it's probably been noted plenty of times, there's a lot of really, really good fanfiction. It's just the ratio of good stuff to bad stuff to imgonnaripmyeyesoutnowkay stuff is intensely skewed toward the latter two.

In terms of absolute numbers, there's enough solid material to keep you reading for years and years and years -- and that number's growing faster than most humans can read. It's just the pointy, fecal-covered flaming material* is growing at an even pace, at the very least, and constitute a majority of the actual material.

Fic hunting can be a soul crushing experience, but the rewards are worth it counter the cost!

*Finding good fanfiction is likely looking for a needle in a needle stack, only the whole thing is covered in shit and everything is on fire.

Sturgeon's Law. For every good fanfiction, there's at least an equal number of soul-rendingly bad fanfiction.

Sturgeon's Revelation is actually "90% of everything is crud." Given what I've seen of fanfiction, I'd have to agree with that assessment.

Could that top 10% exist without the 90%, though? Could we claim something is good if we didn't have anything to compare it to?

So in a way, even the crud serves a useful purpose. Respect the crud!

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

That's the implication of the second half that is often talked about; "...but the remaining 10% is to die for!"  :P

What.

What the fuck?

I didn't even click on the damn link and my mind is stretched to breaking point.

A romantic fanfiction about... the SORTING HAT?!?!?! How does that even work? How awkward would that be to walk in on?
