New sporker! *waves* I ventured into the Life with Derek Pit the other day... it was scary. I should've learned by now but... *sighs* I just hope for good!fic and the Pit rarely delivers.

Don't worry, everyone! It's not incest! )

I have found some really good Life with Derek. The "Either Or" series is the best. It's Dasey and is excellent.

This? Not so much. What did they do to the characters? Casey would be freaking out if Lizzie and Edwin liked each other. (Even if she is with Derek. Which she isn't in this fic.)

The Jonas Brothers are horrible. Derek wouldn't listen to them. I doubt Casey would either.

Oh, Life with Derek. You bring us some good!fic and lots of bad!fic Dasey and Lizwin.

And what's up with Abusive!Derek? He's not like that.

Oh, I agree. I have found some truly fabulous stories in the LwD fandom. But nowadays, I find authors who write good!fic and just wait for them to post or rec something. *sighs* I'm lazy and don't want to sift through lots of bad!fic to find some good.

This? Not so much. What did they do to the characters? Casey would be freaking out if Lizzie and Edwin liked each other. (Even if she is with Derek. Which she isn't in this fic.)

Can't you just imagine Casey sending one of them to Nunavut or something when she found out? Just like, "Whoa - you like him? And he likes you? Nope. *shoves Edwin on plane* There we go."

Derek wouldn't listen to them. I doubt Casey would either.

Nope. But they do both listen to "Coldspray". (They're adorable.)

And what's up with Abusive!Derek? He's not like that.

I have no idea. And I'm super overprotective of characterization in this fandom so... *facepalm*

Hi, new sporker! *waves back*

(What is punctuation, Alex?)

Indeed! Is the comma key broken? And the shift key. Apparently all the apostrophes got lost on the way to the fic.

OMG, THE PUNCTUATION WANTS TO BE USED.

Awww! Poor lonely punctuation :(

I don't even know the fandom, and I'm outraged on its behalf!

I've been welcomed!

I actually think it was more like a mass suicide on the way to the fic. It could have been euthanasia.

I know! Bad!fic outrages me as well as brings the laughs. *shakes head* I need to learn not to go into the Pit.

But...that's where all the best spork material is! True, it's like shooting fish in a barrel...

Hi, new sporker. Glad to see you got through the "posting access" block that seems to have something against the rest of us. :P

Great spork. Horrid fic. Not only is there no goodfic God, but try getting a plumber on weekends. :(

Oh. Hmmm, I've probably... clearly the bad!fic wanted to be sporked. :)

Thank you! I'm such a good!fic God atheist. THERE IS NO EVIDENCE!

Oh badfic, what has my language ever done to you? ;__;

Clearly it has confused the author into believing she has mastered the language. *shakes head* She hasn't... she hasn't.
