Two things.  
Behold! The Big Red Button of DOOM!

Found through [livejournal.com profile] incroyable and so much bloody fun. Stay strong until the end.

If you aren't aware of it already [livejournal.com profile] babb_chronicles is a collection of silly, bad or bizzare quotes from Harry Potter fanfiction, collected by [livejournal.com profile] agatha_s as stated in the userinfo. The stuff gathered is very funny, hilarious and cringe worthy. With some of them it is hard to comprehend why that person is writing fanfiction in the first place. Now I am not talking about people whose english isn't that good or it wasn't their first language because fair enough, it would be illogical to assume someone like that to write a perfect story. However what really puzzles me are the people who don't spell character's names write and mess up major canon facts. Correct me if I'm wrong but it is called fanfiction, see that fan as in you are a fan of said book, movie, show, etc. so how can you possibly get these major facts wrong. It's almost as if these people haven't even read the books so why the hell are they writing FANFICTION! If you write fanfiction, it's because you like (love) the orginal material so much you want to continue on the experience of it, you want to add to the characters, fill in the gaps, whatever. If you don't like the stuff then you wouldn't be writing about it and if you do like it then to the original story justice and know the BASIC GOD DAMNED FACTS.

Hmpth.

LOL! I LOVED the Big Red Button of DOOM. How cool is it to blow up the entire planet and Hell by just clicking a Big Red Button???

I wasted a good five minutes on that thing just to get to the end.

Best five minutes of my life :)

Yeah, me too!!!

So fun to goof around with human nature of pressing things that read "Do Not Press"

I swear, if there really was a big red button that would destroy the world and it said do not press, we humans would not stand a chance in hell.

I couldn't find the white one either :(

And I was waiting for the whole page to explode or something, so the repeating was very anti-climatic :(

I know. I put my headphines on for something to happen to scare the crap out of me. And nothing. *presses the red dot*
