12 WTF Harry Potter Fan-Fictions You Won't Believe Exist

12. My Immortal

Undoubtedly the most infamous of all Harry Potter fan fictions, My Immortal (named after a song by lame goth band Evanescence) first appeared on the internet back in 2006 and was a very loose reinterpretation of the books told from the perspective of its teen goth protagonist Ebony Dark’ness Dementia Raven Way (yes, really) totalling forty-four chapters and over twenty thousand words in length.

Known for its many spelling mistakes, ridiculous plot and frequent references to all things stereotypically noughties ‘goffik’ – fishnet tights, Good Charlotte, self-harm and the like – it’s gone down in fan fiction history as one of the worst ever written. But it’s so unintentionally funny that it joins the ranks of ‘things that are so bad they’re actually good’ just like dad jokes, The Room and pot noodles before it.

In fact, it’s so good-bad that it was even adapted into a web series for the viewing pleasure of Harry Potter fans the world over – a clear testament to its lasting, if dubious, legacy.
