* [[Alternative Character Interpretation]]:
** It's only too easy to see the "preps" as the good guys and the "goffs" as the bad guys. After all, the "goffs" are all utter jerks and we never see the "preps" do anything to deserve the treatment they get. In particular, the fic wants us to see Britney as the [[Alpha Bitch]] and Ebony as the [[Cool Loser]]. But who's the one judging the other for how she dresses? Who's the one who sits by and takes the other's abuse without retaliating until the end? Who's the one gets [[Girl Posse|followed around by a large group of friends]] while the other one always seems to be on her own?
** "Dumblydore". Is he a "poser" just trying to be cool like Ebony thinks? Is he a brilliant [[The Chessmaster|Chessmaster]] [[Obfuscating Stupidity]] to manipulate Ebony into destroying "Volsemort"? Or is he just an old, senile guy who does things at random?
Line 9 ⟶ 8:
* [[Accidental Innuendo]]: Whether it's actually accidental depends on whether the fic actually is a parody or not, but regular words are occasionally "accidentally" spelled wrong and [[Freudian Slip|turned into obscenities]], e.g. "Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge" becomes "Mystery of Magic Cornelia Fuck", "Professor Slughorn" becoming "Professor Slutborn", etc.
** [http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8B51CF0BD6819969&feature=plcp This dramatic reading] interprets almost every use of the word "come"/"came" this way.
* [[Ass Pull]]: Many examples. At one point the characters need to find Draco (who Volfemort has bondage, whatever that means). To solve this, Vampire "has an idea" and teleports them into Voldemort's lair. Enoby whines endlessly about stuff much easier to solve than this, like [[
* [[Bile Fascination]]: Seriously, this was the ''most popular thing'' on [[Fanfiction.net]] if the reviews were anything to go by.
* [[Crack Pairing]]: Hedwig/Voldemort. <ref> Well, human!male!Hedwig/young!Voldemort at least.</ref>
Line 15 ⟶ 14:
* [[Designated Villain]]: Britney doesn't do anything aside from being "a fucking prep". Except in chapter 42 where it's stated by 'Proffessor Trevolry' that Britney freed Snap, Loopin and Hargrid from "Azerbaijan". How or why exactly, Trevolry (and Tara) never goes into.
* [[Fetish Retardant]]: Pretty much the whole thing. See [[IKEA Erotica]].
* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]:
** Tara accusing JKR of being a "hamophobe" for not making Harry and Draco a gay couple.
** ''[[Harry Potter and
** [[The Room|"Oh hi."]]
** The mispelling of [[Back to the Future (film)|Marty McFly's]] name as "Morty" is hilarious now thanks to [[Rick and Morty|a certain series]] where one of the characters is a clear [[Expy]] of McFly.
* [[Nightmare Fuel]]: A literal interpretation of many passages in this story will give you a rather disturbing mental picture. "He put his boys thingie in mine", coming from EBONY, anyone? [[Schmuck Bait|So try to avoid literal interpretations]].
* [[Nightmare Retardant]]: Again, the chapter with the "XTREMLY SCRAY" disclaimer.
Line 24:
* [[Romantic Plot Tumor]]: Most of the plot is focused on a Vampire/Ebony/Draco [[Love Triangle]]. Even Voldemort forcing Ebony to kill "Vampire" is treated as though it were simply a complication to all the romantic drama.
* [[Sequelitis]]: The original is considered by some to be [[So Bad It's Good]], but most of the parody sequels are just plain painful. No matter how hard many may try, none can match Ms. Gilesbie's literary... um, achievement.
* [[Snark Bait]]: Possibly more so than ''anything else'' on this wiki, even ''[[Twilight (
* [[So Bad It's Good]]: The main reason to read it is to laugh your ass off at how terrible it is.
* [[Thirty-Sue Pileup]]: Let us count the ways...
** [[Mary Sue]]: Ebony. Just... Ebony. Tara denies it (despite many noticeable Freudian slips in which other characters refer to Ebony as "Tata" "Tara" and "TaEbory"), and responds to her preppy haters with this:
{{quote|
** [[Parody Sue]]: Depends on whether Gilesbie's a troll or not -- if so, one of the best examples.
** [[Possession Sue]]: Draco just reeks of this.
Line 41:
** About the only form of Mary Sue which Ebony doesn't fit is [[Purity Sue]]/[[Mary Sue Classic]]. And even there, she never "soils" herself by having sex with another female despite her claims that she's bi, and she's quick to tell us that because she's a girl she didn't get an erection, you sickos. She's also a valiant fighter for Truth, Justice, and the Goth Way, and will defend the world against the preps with her dying breath -- which in the world of Tara Gillespie almost makes her a paladin of [[Incorruptible Pure Pureness]].
* [[Wangst]]: Ebony's constant whining. And this gem from Draco:
{{quote|
* [[What an Idiot!]]: Ebony/Enoby, despite being told that Draco and Harry were a couple long before Draco put his boy's thingy in hers, insists on believing that Draco cheated on her. About a paragraph later she has a "brainstorm" and wonders if Draco and Harry dated ''before she started dating Draco.'' Whether this is genuine stupidity on [[My Nayme Is|Enoby's]] part, or the result of Tara forgetting what she just wrote, we may never know.
