My name is Lisa.
I’m five foot nine. My hair is long and it’s dark brown. I wear leather a great deal, high boots always, and sometimes glove-soft vests and even leather skirts now and then, and I wear lace, especially when I can find the kind I like: intricate, very old-fashioned lace, snow white. I have light skin that tans easily, large breasts, and long legs. And though I don’t feel beautiful and never have, I know that I am. If I wasn’t, I wouldn’t be a trainer at The Club.
–Exit to Eden by Anne Rice (aka Rampling), 1985
Hi my name is Ebony Dark’ness Dementia Raven Way and I have long ebony black hair (that’s how I got my name) with purple streaks and red tips that reaches my mid-back and icy blue eyes like limpid tears and a lot of people tell me I look like Amy Lee (AN: if u don’t know who she is get da hell out of here!). I’m not related to Gerard Way but I wish I was because he’s a major fucking hottie. I’m a vampire but my teeth are straight and white. I have pale white skin. I’m also a witch, and I go to a magic school called Hogwarts in England where I’m in the seventh year (I’m seventeen). I’m a goth (in case you couldn’t tell) and I wear mostly black. I love Hot Topic and I buy all my clothes from there. For example today I was wearing a black corset with matching lace around it and a black leather miniskirt, pink fishnets and black combat boots. I was wearing black lipstick, white foundation, black eyeliner and red eye shadow. I was walking outside Hogwarts. It was snowing and raining so there was no sun, which I was very happy about. A lot of preps stared at me. I put up my middle finger at them.

#g o d#that can’t be a real Anne rice quote
*”Rampling” was Rice’s pseudonym while she was writing erotica, mainly for this and the Sleeping Beauty quartet
i mean ….
lestat is on the my immortal train too lol
Anne Rice hates fanfiction! My Immortal is a satire of fanfiction about the fiction from an author who hates fanfiction. This makes everything even better.
@imperfectkreis
This is just more evidence that you could teach a full semester course on My Immortal.
Add this to the ‘My Immortal was a troll all along’ evidence pile
I am absurdly, pettily happy that it’s Anne Rice getting slammed with the My Immortal comparisons.
(Is it me or does “My Immortal” sound very like the sort of title an Anne Rice book would have?)
Have we considered the possibility that Anne Rice actually wrote My Immortal?
:: squints ::
Y’know, the theory of Anne Rice having written My Immortal is nowhere NEAR as cracky as her last book was …
I didn’t know what the hell “My Immortal” was referring to for a long time and I just ASSUMED it was an Anne Rice novel by all the quotes I saw.
Anne Rice being the secret author of My Immortal is actually… not a bad theory? I mean, we know she HATES fanfiction, but also seeks it out (at least well enough to sue them) so she has some knowledge of fandom and probably of some of the styles/themes of the time. I could totally see her writing My Immortal in the dead of night, trying to wrap up every single thing she hates about fanfiction in one terribly-written package.
And she would never own up to it. EVER.
Alright guys spread the news: we’ve figured out who actually wrote my immortal. It was Anne rice.
Honestly, this makes just as much sense as any other theory that’s been proposed over the years
What fresh hell is this? Someone fill me in. @greenekangaroo ? Is this a thing you know about?
oh my god friend.
Hold on to your butt here’s the reader’s digest version:
The exact year escapes me but once upon a time there was a terrible, and I mean TERRIBLE, harry potter fic put up titled My Immortal. What you see up there is the opening paragraph, word for word, of said fic. It is so iconically bad that it became its own meme. The rest of My Immortal was just as atrocious.
The writer of My Immortal remains a complete mystery. This is kind of weird because a lot of fic writers are easily found despite handle changes, especially fic writers who write stuff that gets big for one reason or another.
We have zero info on My Immortal’s creator. No one knows if he, she, or they intended the fic as satire or a piece of trollfic. No one knows if they were serious.
In the past couple of years there have been serious attempts to hunt down the author and there was a big thing about mid-2017 where the internet thought they’d found her. This turned out to not be true. Not only was the potential author lying about writing My Immortal, she was lying about a bunch of other stuff too including trying to find her brother who was adopted out of foster care.
So, like the whereabouts of Jimmy Hoffa, we may never know who wrote My Immortal.
(and yeah Ann Rice is definitely a fanwork hating nightmare who doxxes and threatens people who make art re: the Vampire Chronicles. She also goes after people who leave bad reviews on her books.)
