Gen Duruk is an author of Death Note ParodyFics on Fanfiction.net.

His fanfictions include:

• "The Human Whose Name Is Written In This Fanfiction" : Every chapter another Death Note - Fanfic cliche gets mocked. An overachieving story arc develops, too.
• "How To Write Amazingly Popular Fanfiction" : A "How NOT to" guide to Death Note Fanfiction
• "Light Yagami`s Adventures in Fandom Land" : A fairytail-esque story about Light`s "quest to explore the strange world of fandom complete with painful puns." Light find himself in a strange land, in which there are several "areas" all representing a genre of Fanfic. With these come handy tips about Fics.

He seems to know TV Tropes quite well (He is using trope names on a few occasions) and is also aware of "The Human Whose Name Is Written In This Fanfiction" being on the Fanfic recommodation page for Death Note.

Unfortunately, he doesn`t seem to be active anymore.

His Fics include examples of:

• Abusive Parents: Raven has an alcoholic, abusive father. Of course, since she is a parody of the Tragic Sue.
• Alternate Universe Fic: Parodied in "How To Write Amazingly Popular Fanfiction" and "Light Yagami`s Adventures in Fandom Land"
• A Wizard Did It: In "How To Write Amazingly Popular Fanfiction" this is an option in "Step F- Choose a plot hole"
• An Aesop: Every part of "Light Yagami`s Adventures in Fandom Land" has its own tip/aesop. In the end they get summed up by: "Remember the most important rule when traveling in fandom land: stay true to reality."
  • Anvilicious: Gen Duruk seems to get a little overexited from time to time, especially in the last chapter of "The Human Whose Name Is Written In This Fanfiction" in which Light states: " It ( The Canon Cannon ) banishes all original characters because here's the funny truth: they're all Sues. Even if they aren't perfect or even the love interest, they are inserted as plot aids or conflicts and that still makes a Sue."
• Big Bad: Bai in "The Human Whose Name Is Written In This Fanfiction", Matt in "Light Yagami`s Adventures in Fandom Land"
• Bastard Boyfriend: Light in chapter 4 of "The Human Whose Name Is Written In This Fanfiction"
• Crack Fic: an "area" in "Light Yagami`s Adventures in Fandom Land", a really bizarre one, too: "Raye Penber appeared to have formed a disco band below and a crowd of people had gathered to dance. Roger Ruvie walked in surrounded by scantily clad women, avoiding the tussle between Kiyome Takada and what appeared to be Scooby Doo over a pile of pancakes. Naomi Misora was giving seductive glances towards Thomas Jefferson who stood alone in a corner."
• Costume Porn: Parodied (of course): "She was dressed in an outfit most would define as 'skanky' but L seemed incapable of not describing in painful detail. In fact, she appeared to be wearing so many clothes at the same time it was a wonder that her perfectly toned voluptuous frame could hold it up."
• Dark Fic: Chapter 3 and 7 of "The Human Whose Name Is Written In This Fanfiction", also an "area" in "Light Yagami`s Adventures in Fandom Land"
• Dangerously Genre Savvy: The Sues
• Department of Redundancy Department: "All the Death Note characters were in a miz. They were all really down. Everyone was pretty severely bummed about life. Man, where they sad."
• Fairy Tale: "Light Yagami`s Adventures in Fandom Land"
• Glamour: The Sues have this power: "The moment she opened her mouth Beyond Birthday felt a strange numbness in his brain, a dulling of his senses. He could only see her and painfully describe her physical attributes."
• In Which a Trope Is Described: The headlines in "The Human Whose Name Is Written In This Fanfiction" .
• Lemony Narrator: Definetly.
• Mills and Boon Prose: "The scene will then disintegrate to a very vague description of sex that with few words changed could just as easily be a drug trip. There is a high probability that only the parts you didn't want to hear about will be described in detail."
• Mister Seahorse: Parodied in chapter 12 of THWNIWITFF
• No Fourth Wall
• Only Sane Man: Light often fulfills this role.
• Parody Sue: Yumi Toyota NintendoSushi-Fuji, Raven Phoenix Jade Cooper Brooklyn Mickenzie and Lucinda Siren Dusk Shadow Hikari Athena Winter
• Rape as Backstory: Raven again
• Slash Fic: Parodied, of course.
• Screw Yourself: In chapter 9 of THWNIWITFF: Kira wants to rape Light. Fortunately The voice of reason intervenes and points out what little sense that makes.
• Song Fic: The author doesn`t seem to like them.
• Troll Fic: An "area" in "Light Yagami`s Adventures in Fandom Land"
• Victim Falls For Rapist: Lampshaded by Light:

"Have you gone insane? Aren't you supposed to be smart? I raped you! You don't love me, you hate my guts! Why would I love you?" Light shrieked, throwing his hands up into the air.

• WAFF: Another area in "Light Yagami`s Adventures in Fandom Land"
