Someone at my sister's elementary school printed out NSYNC slash fanfic and passed it around the playground for a few days before it got caught.

Antivehicular posted:The same kid went on to get suspended for three days for turning in an "Oregon Trail diary" English assignment about Hannibal Lecter, Jean-Luc Picard, and Samwise Gamgee as bandits fleeing eastern justice by posing as settlers on the trail, only for Sam and Picard to die of Oregon Trail diseases and Hannibal to snap and massacre the rest of the wagon train, who were all the characters from a dire Oregon Trail novel we'd had to read for class. Sean, wherever you are, you're still my hero. I must be missing something here, because I can't understand why he would even get in trouble for that at all, much less be suspended for three days.

For a high school English project I illustrated the scene from the Odyssey where Odysseus and Telemachus team up and execute all of Penelope's suitors. I faithfully depicted exactly what Homer said: shooting them with arrows, running them through with spears, and chopping off their heads. The teacher gave me a B- and a note reading "does it have to be so gruesome? :-("

My final project for The Great Gatsby was a comic about how Nick becomes possessed by the vengeful ghost of Gatsby and going on a murder spree against all the rich people. Got an A+.

Oh poo poo I just remembered we had to write an alternate ending for The Lord of The Flies where the rescue doesn't come and I think I had Roger killing then decapitating the other two main characters and putting their heads on spikes on the shore. Pretty sure I got a good mark for that one but there's clearly a theme here.

My final AP lit project was a deep dive on Yukio Mishima that I had to present. Let's say that the teacher who approved said project knew very little about Mishima's writing so I got a warning for being too graphic when talking about his thing for death and gore being inherently beautiful. Sorry Mrs. McBride.

One time our writing prompt was "Mr. Johnson", but I really didn't feel like writing anything so I gave my protagonist the euphonic name Bent Erik Amadeus Søren Sild Karl Skov Ørn Kenny Sæhrmann Hvidløg Bolschefyld Fyrretræsknast Flæskemad Enebarn Jönsson and made sure to write it in full every time he was mentioned. iirc it started with him waking up and getting ready to go to work and then getting run over as soon as I got over the 1 page minimum.

Senior Woodchuck posted:Raise your hand if you wrote Final Fantasy VI fanfic and turned it in as a high school class assignment. Suikoden fanfic. I also wrote a one-act play based on those AOL roleplaying chat rooms called The Ivory Mask Inn. It was an intentionally pretentious title, but meant to symbolize how all the characters were roleplaying idealized versions of themselves. So deep. I don't remember anything about the plot except the paladin guy overreacting violently to the slightest provocation, because he was bullied IRL, or mad about something in his personal life. Shortly after I wrote this, I became incredibly embarrassed by its existence, and deliberately did not save a copy. It's a shame, because I'd really like to revisit it now.

I wrote, and turned in for a grade, fanfic of characters from Final Fantasies 7, 8, and 9 putting on a nativity play  the assignment was due before Christmas so I thought it was appropriate, I guess  Edit to add: it was a comedy. I thought I was very funny I still think I'm very funny Happy Landfill has a new favorite as of 06:42 on Jan 11, 2020 |

Just don't ever mention icky, advertiser-unfriendly terms like "gay," "transgender," "America has concentration camps on its southern border where children are routinely murdered and buried in unmarked graves when they're not being sexually abused by racist ICE paramilitary grunts," and "gently caress" and you'll be fine!

That whole Gothic Lit class was fun, just all sorts of fun reading stuff that was usually either good or very terrible.

They were handwritten and illustrated and extremely good and I have saved them all in case I ever need to blackmail myself.

When I was eight I stole the plot for Top Gun except it was set in the bermuda triangle, starred my friends and I as the pilots, and instead of russian jets it had us shoot missiles at a sea monster. Thirty years on and it still may be the most  thing that I've been involved in.

I don't have it anymore, but we had to write a story about groundhog day in like second grade. Everyone else wrote about the groundhog being a celebrity or whatever. In mine the groundhog overslept and the world was completely frozen and he wandered an icy waste land, and I think at one point walked by giant dragon bones or something because of course there were dragons in my story.
