== [[My Immortal]] wrote itself ==
Think about it, Tara's either a truly clueless fanfic writer or one of the most dedicated trolls ever... '''OR''' she simply does not exist. [[My Immortal]] spontaneously created itself from the sum of all the bad fanfics out there, creating the "Tara" as a mouthpiece to spread it's wickedly bad, but oddly fascinating existence all over the web... to take over the world ('''[[That Guy With

Line 84:
Your local secret organisation/military taskforce/hidden cabal developed the ultimate in brain-numbing technology: a series of words that was so mind-shreddingly painful, if it were ever deployed on a sufficient scale, it could bring the world to its knees. It was only after beta-testing it on a single website that they realised some things really are better left undisturbed.
== ''My Immortal'' is based on ''[[Gone
Tara watched the movie (she didn't read the book, ''obviously'') because she thought the plantation was named after her and she was inspired. Consider the characters:
* Ebony = Scarlett: Temperamental drama queen with shallow emotions. Both are willing to kill people in order to never be hungry again.
Line 90:
* Draco = Ashley: The heroine is ''so'' in love with this character. [[Suspiciously Specific Denial|It's a total fluke that she keeps thinking about another guy!]]
* Britney = Melanie: Meek girl the heroine hates for no reason.

== My Immortal is a retelling of ''[[
Compare Enoby with Holden- both middle class teenagers who feel seperate from and superior to their peers and curse their lives. Ebony sees everyone she dislikes as preps while Holden sees them as 'phoneys'. Both swear excessively. Holden's relationship with his brother is based on respect turned to hatred as is Ebony's relationship with Raven and both have vauge images of their future. Plus, look at the depictions of conformity and school environments. Look at the relationships with teachers (both encounter awkward situations where they believe teachers are infatuated with them and 'perverts'). And both stories have abrupt endings that wrap up nothing, merely detailing a period in the characters lives. I rest my case.
[[WMG: [[My Immortal]] is an extremely imperfect version of [[Harry Potter]] from "The Library of Babel" by [[Jorge Luis Borges]].
Line 192:
== My Immortal was pounded out during [[NaNoWriMo]] to win a bet. ==
* Think about it. [[NaNoWriMo]] is all about literary abandon; write now, fix later. Maybe, in the beginning, she didn't have any word programs to use, and she used fan fiction sites as a way to save her work until such a day that she could get to a word program. By the time she did, the story had started to gain a massive following in all of it's suck, and she ran with it. [[NaNoWriMo]] accounts for the spelling errors ([[NaNoWriMo|NaNo]] is fast and hard, especially for new writers, and you are encouraged to ignore spelling errors until you either get far enough ahead to breathe or the end of the month), the lack of continuity (when you are trying to hit that coveted 50k words, you'll do anything to make the story stretch on), and the sudden, seemingly unrelated plot twists and pop culture references (Plot Bunnies, which are sudden ideas you pound out to make the story go on, and word sprints, which are [[Exactly What It Says

Line 251:
Tara suffers from insomnia and nightmares, so she takes sleeping medication. In the middle of the night she would go to her computer and type horrible fanfiction while still asleep. I mean seriously, something that bad couldn't have been consciously written.
== "Tara Gillesbie" is the Internet name for [[Twilight (
After having her books compared to the [[Harry Potter]] saga, she wrote a Harry Potter story to prove she can do it better.

Think about it.
* It's said that ''[[The House of Night]]'' = ''[[Twilight (
* A teenage girl writer [[Self Insert|inserts herself]] into a magic school and turns into a vampire. Which story did I just describe?
* Raven. Redbird. Nice try.
Line 304:
Rowling has admitted that Lockhart was based on a real person. Who fits the bill better than Tara does?
* But... but it was written way after "Chamber of Secrets"... wait, of course! [[Timey-Wimey Ball]]! It all makes sense now! [[Go Mad From the Revelation|AAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA!!!!!]]
** Building on that theory, it's possible that Tara [[Final Fantasy I
** Or a more simple theory: Tara emailed the fanfiction to Rowling. Rowling was inspired by Ebony and wrote "Chamber of Secrets." Tara locked ''My Immortal'' away until a few years later.
*** The first one is more likely. The second doesn't hold up when you consider that characters like <s>Lupin</s> Loopin and <s>Wormtail</s> Snaketail don't show up until after CoS. So yeah, the Four Trolls must have given her the Ipod [[Time Machine]].

The bizarre lines like as referenced in [[My Immortal
* Uh, you have noticed the theory that this is a [[Troll Fic]] is brought up a lot, right? I suppose Tara could be male if "she" were a troll, but that doesn't mean "she" is either.
** My WMG was mostly about Tara being a [[GIRL|Guy In Real Life]] than a troller.
Line 511:
Tara comes off as a sort of proto-Abridged!Raye from [[Sailor Moon Abridged]]. She hasn't perfected the [[No Indoor Voice]] yet, but is taking steps towards "MUST! PRAY! TO! SATAAAAN!" and has perfected the love of pain and violence. Come to think of it, Ebony's black, waist length hair (which Sailor Mars/Hino Rei/Raye has in canon) is tinted with purple and red- the colors of Sailor Mars' fuku.
== Tara is ''K''ara of the ''[[Star Trek]]'' episode "[[Star Trek
The woman who gave us the immortal line "Brain and brain, what is brain?!" is certainly dumb enough to write this and the names are ''so'' close. And we know she spells her name wrong, so maybe every time she wrote "Tara" she meant to say "Kara". Kara has seen the ''Harry Potter'' films because the Eymorg [[Aliens Steal Cable|picked up TV broadcasts of them]]. The signal forms of the first four movies have only just reached Sigma Draconis VI by 2268, which is why Kara thinks the fifth movie is about to come out. "Raven" is the name of the person whose brain formed the original Controller. Exposure to ''My Immortal'' was what caused the original Controller to be "finished". When Kara absorbed knowledge from the Teacher to get Spock's brain, she happened to be logged into her fanfiction account. After retrieving the brain, she went to her computer, didn't think the story could be hers because she remembered that story being brilliant, concluded that she must have hacked into some idiot's account, and wrote the hacker chapter. After the knowledge faded from her brain, she went back to her account and, not remembering she had written the hacker chapter, continued writing as normal. ''My Immortal'' ended shortly thereafter when Captain Kirk forced them to abandon the Eymorg complex.
Line 663:
So, you know how most of the story is all her [[Wangst|Wangsting]], and how depressed she is? She gets depressed literally over nothing, but now she's actually facing some serious pressure (as noted in her writing - she's so freaked out of having to fight Voldemort that her normal wangst is replaced by wanting to be with her friends)and now she actually has to do something, rather than dick around. She couldn't stand the presser and used the spell she cast against herself to end her life. And the story.
== Ebony and Satan were not watching ''[[
When Ebony and Satan go to see "The Exercise", that is not Tara's misspelling of "Exorcist". There is actually an aerobics video being shown at the Hogsmeade theater, possibly because of some sort of mix-up. Then why is a generic teen slasher movie described? Well, the line about how "a boy and a gurl were doing it sudenly a cereal killer came" does not refer to a scene in the movie, but something that actually went on in the theater. A couple were so busy going at it that they didn't notice when a "cereal killer" had eaten all the cereal they brought as a snack. The resulting blood that Ebony and Satan laughed at was blood that the cereal killer poured into the cereal, since using blood as a replacement for milk is actually quite common in the Tara-verse. (For some reason, [[Protagonist-Centered Morality|Ebony is only bothered by public sex when "dumb preps" are the ones doing it]], despite the fact that she and Satan get naked in public a few paragraphs later and even kill a woman for objecting to their indecent exposure.)
Line 669:
Actually, much of the 'Goffik' cast may qualify.
The symptoms of bipolar disorder, according to this [http://www.healthline.com/adamcontent/bipolar-disorder?utm_medium=ask&utm_source=smart&utm_campaign=article&utm_term=Bipolar+Disorder&ask_return=Bipolar+Disorder Healthline website] include: [[Mood Swinger|Mood Swings]]; [while in the manic state:] [[Small Name, Big Ego|inflated]] [[Attention Whore|self-esteem]], lack of self-control, [[Hair-Trigger Temper|poor temper control]], [[Leeroy Jenkins|reckless behaviour]] {i.e. [[Fearless Fool|impaired judgement]], [[Be a Whore
Also, "There is a high risk of suicide with bipolar disorder. While in either phase, patients may abuse alcohol or other substances, which can worsen the symptoms. Sometimes there is an overlap between the two phases. Manic and depressive symptoms may occur simultaneously or in quick succession in what is called a mixed state."
Line 693:
== Tara is really a guy. ==
Think about it: Every time unmentionables are mentioned, Tara gets into all the gorey details of male private parts, but only refers to Ebony's as [[Selective Squick|"my you-know-what"]]. Then there's all the slip-ups like 'he put his dude-thingy in mine' and too many instances of implying that Enoby is a Hermaphrodite. It's too convenient to be a coincidence! My guess is that [[What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made
== Enoby is an [[Eldritch Abomination]]. ==
Her mere presence has driven all of the Harry Potter characters to insanity.
== Ebony is [[Star Trek:
Centuries before he had Picard to bug, Q came down to Earth, took the form of a teenage girl, and altered the people of Hogwarts according to his whims. Willow is also a Q, which is why she came back after she "died".

No, not because she's a vampire. Because it's impossible to spell her name correctly, since even the author doesn't know how it's spelled.

== Tom Rid's store is new. ==
That's why Enoby never heard of it. He probably gave pamphlets or something to Dumbledore so he could advertize to the goffs. But alas, he is young as [[Distracted
== In [[My Immortal]] continuity, Hedwig... ==
Line 845:
Think about it. How do you explain him getting Enoby and Draco out of trouble in the earlier chapters? Either he's [[The Mole|working for Enoby while pretending to be working for Voldemort while pretending to work for Dumbledore]], or her dating Draco was important to Voldemort. [[Fridge Brilliance|And it is important for Ebony to be with Draco, so Voldemort could extort her.]]
== The iPod that chonges into a time machine is a [[Transformers:
Specifically, a new Triple Changer incarnation of Soundwave who was sent back in a bid to spread the Decepticon ideology to the wizarding world so the Decepticons could find a way to use magic as a new weapon against the Autobots. Unfortunately, the way interferes with technology caused him to be locked in iPod mode and sent his consciousness offline. When he chonged into a time machine, that was his consciousness coming back online and him regaining at least some of his ability to transform. However, he has elected to hide his true nature until such time as the circumstances are right to gain trust of Volsemort and the Death Dealers and take them to the future to aid the Decepticons. It is possible that the cideo camera/caramel is another transformer, who may also be mode-locked and unconscious/offline.
Line 867:
That is all.
