In 2006, the worst fan fiction ever written was released. We still haven't figured out who actually wrote it. My Immortal is a bizarre, intensely terrible fan fiction published on the internet from 2006 to 2007. It features a Hot Topic-clad, suicidal, goth, My Chemical Romance-loving female vampire protagonist who goes to Hogwarts and has romances as well as conflicts with the cast of Harry Potter - except all goth'd and Hot Topic'd out themselves. It's a truly hypnotically awful piece of writing. But there's also a mystery behind it. Who wrote it? Many have claimed to have written it. One person even got a huge book deal from claiming they wrote it. But, to this day, we still have no idea who wrote the worst fan fiction ever written. On today's Nostalgicast, we explore the weird world of My Immortal.
