seriousfic proposes his slasher movie
(and gets metaquoted for it) :
It'll be called The Slasher. After a budding author posts her Harry Potter story to fanfiction.net, it's mercilessly roasted by fanficrants, badfic_quotes, everybody gets it on it. The out-of-character comms mock the characterization, the bad sex comms mock the sex scenes. It's the new My Immortal. The writer is so distraught that there's a post on her LJ from her brother saying she's committed suicide. Or... has she?
A year later, all the fen have gathered for a con when someone starts killing everyone that posted a bad review on her story. Moreover, the killer is using cliched plotbunnies from the dead (?) writer's webpage.
"I don't understand. Why did the bees sting her to death?"
"Maybe... because her lungs were full of sex pollen."Comments are even more fun.
I would soo watch this film! :-) I wonder how that slasher would acomplish murder by tentacle-rape ^_^
EDIT: just read the full wki article and agree with one of the points made in the articles discussion.
Saw,
Hostel and some other films mentioned in one paragraph don't belong in that article. they are not "also considered" torture porn they ARE torture porn and nothing else. *shakes head* I don't watch those kind of horror films and even I know that. (torture porn I mean, a classic old slasher film can be fun ...) Hmmm, guess I'm so miffed about this paragraph because I despise torture porn like few other film genres. *shudders* I'm with Romero on this : "Influential director
George A. Romero has stated, "I don’t get the torture porn films", "they're lacking metaphor."
