Dramatic Reading

The following paragraph is to be read in your most IMPROBABLY EPIC tone of voice.

We all know it can be fun to read terrible fanfics, but what about having them read to you in a dramatic, booming voice, just so that all of the Narm can be fully appreciated? This is where the Dramatic Reading comes in. You can expect almost every bad fanfic that becomes infamous to have at least one dramatic reading, and often other media such as published books can get dramatic readings if they're sufficiently infamous.
