Fanfic warning signs
Thankfully, I don't see a need for any of these here...

Well, I do admit that my little short story about how Prince affected the Wapsiverse may have violated Purple Prose, but...

Re: Fanfic warning signs
Does fractured purple prose count?
. . .
Judging by some of the mainstream works, fractured purple prose might be a requirement.

Re: Fanfic warning signs
And now- the national anthem for Wapsi FanFiction writers;
(Tune- ""Morning has broken")
"Fandom has broken, into fanfictions,
some are depictions, too weird to view-
Flesh meets with cartoon, man weds a centaur,
Sphinx gets a boyfriend, to name a few,
Drug lords get clay- fired, golems get pregnant,
Demon barista, meets with true love
Old Sgt. Major- scraps with hillbilly,
half Drow gives Baptists an icy shove
Old Roman soldier, fights for the wrong side
more times than he cares now to admit
dark-eyed wallflower, finds a studmuffin
Looses her tonsils- that hurt a bit
and all our readers, tell us they love us
correct our spelling- also our French
and now our 'fanon', has a strong following
such that our stories now feel entrenched
So now new readers gather and praise us
open each story to see what's inside
we get no money, we get no glory
but let me tell you- "DUDE, WHAT A RIDE!!!""

Re: Fanfic warning signs
Bad Paranormal
With apologies to the late Michael Jackson
As she came out of the doorway
It was the sound of a crescendo
He came into her apartment
He left the bloodstains on the marble
She ran him through the breastbone
They thought that she was alone
Her child ran into the safe room
She was safe there, safe from her doom
'Sali, are you ok? Atsali are you ok
Are you ok, 'Sali
'Sali, are you ok?
Atsali are you ok
Are you ok, 'Sali

Your mom's been hit by
Your mom's been killed by
A bad paranormal
Then they came into the hallway
There was blood there, on the wall, hey
Spent bullets
Radioactive
Knives and foot kicks well placed, impacted
