Line 40:
== The story is a copy of the Daily Prophet that Ron and Hermione's kids accidentally put online. ==
Hermione quickly fixed it with a charm that makes any muggle who looks at the page only see a terrible [[In Name Only|Harry Potter fanfic]].
* No, it's the real ''Daily Prophet'' article. Rita Skeeter wrote it with her usual level of accuracy. We're seeing it before it was given to her editor, so it's full of the innumerable spelling and grammar mistakes she always makes, but which said editor always cleans up before publication. Hey, in her articles from ''[[Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (novel)|Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire]]'' Rita canonically referred to Arthur Weasley as "Arnold Weasley" and misspelled the names of the other Triwizard champions. It's not too much of a stretch that her rough drafts would get everyone's names wrong as much as ''My Immortal'' does.
* Um, would computers even work around wizards and witches like Ron, Hermione, and their children? I think Hermione mentioned in the third book that technology (like surveillance equipment) just fizzles out when around magic.
** Firstly electric doesn't work around particularly magical places (ie. Hogwarts) not wizards and witches - otherwise there would be chaos in the homes of muggleborn children and Ron wouldn't have been able to use the phone in POA. Secondly, by Ron and Hermione's children's time wizards could have worked a way around this problem anyway.
Line 312:
**** What if Tara had the first book read to her (was it published?) when she was young, and she tried to impress Rowling with her own sequel. Rowling didn't respond, and that sent Tara on a downward spiral of illiteracy and hating the HP series, hence later writing a terrible fanfic from a "fan" of the series (proving the fans were idiots!), all the while still subconsciously trying to impress Rowling - by taking the love of mythical species (?) (vampires, wizards, etc.) and dark magic, that sort of thing, only times ten.
 
== Tara wrote My Immortal ''[[For the Evulz]]"'' ==
Tara wanted to drive a mass amount of people insane and cause chaos. But due to the fact that she had no power in the outside world, she decided to wreck havoc on the internet. And thus ''[[My Immortal]]'' was born.
 
Line 650:
== Ebony ''does'' exist in the canon Potterverse... ==
...but she's just an average Hogwarts student who is disillusioned about her life. Pretty much everything that happens in [[My Immortal]] is what she fantasizes about. She is madly infatuated with Draco and constantly wishes he'd "[[IKEA Erotica|put his thingy in (her) you-know-what]]", thinks a lot of the Gryffindor kids are actually pretty cool but doesn't want to admit it so she imagines them as "goffic" Slytherins instead, wishes she could be more heroic and imagines fighting the "bark lord", etc. As for all the references to Muggle culture...well, despite being a Slytherin, she's had several run-ins with Muggle culture and is obsessed with the music and movies from it. What about the fact that most of the Muggle stuff she likes didn't exist when Harry Potter took place? Well....[[A Wizard Did It|she got ahold of some sort of device that could allow her to see into the future]], and she realized that her favorite bands and movies happen to be from the 00's. But she forgot which works were from which decade, hence her not remembering that most of the muggle stuff she likes doesn't even exist yet when the story takes place.
* [https://web.archive.org/web/20101211061231/http://harrypotterfanon.wikia.com/wiki/Ebony_Way This] is the real story.
* Or, possibly, she is a Muggleborn Slytherin in the 2000s and the whole story is her wish-fulfillment fantasy.
** As a Muggleborn, she has been exposed to Muggle culture for most of her life.
