Dear. Lord.

YOU. You had me cracking up since the beginning. But the thing that made me crack up the most was your succint "Then Gwen burst into flame". Does that make me evil? *cackle*

Oh, man. I'm cracking up like Kevin in the "Ben loses misplaces his hand" episode.

IDK you are awesome. I wanna grow up and be able to write crack like you. ♥

Also, I'm pretty new here too, but welcome to the life outside the lurking!

[cxrdevil]

Yes, yes it does make you evil. Poor Gwen.

It's not really crack I promise. I'm relatively serious and earnest when it comes to Ben 10. This show is so fantastic.

Thanks for the welcome, I love you too, look forward to more socializing!

[tripht]

I don't hate her or anything, it was just absurd no reason for it at all, and the absurd always makes me crack up.

Oh, crack is just a way of calling it. It's quite clear you're going for a humorus way to critique and point out discrepancies, making use of hiperbole. I love the dry sardonic tone of some of your sentences.

I love the show. I never had much chance of seeing it all, but now that I'm re-watching all I find a lot of holes and makes me want to do something like you just did here... because I love the show even though it makes me go "lol okaaay" a lot of the time.

[cxrdevil]

Haha, well, absurd is great. So is Gwen. Thanks for loving the sardonics, I've been reading too much Harry Potter lately.

Yeah, I'm in a similar boat - got into the show this year and have seen mostly episodes of little baby douchebag Ben and his adventures with little baby dick Gwen and Grandpa Max in the Rustbucket, but my BFF and I have been plowing through AF and Ultimate Alien and we can't believe how insanely wonderful it is.

Those "lol okaaay" moments can be fun, except I think we laugh out loud every time they need something and Gwen can just magically do it. Definitely my favorite kind of lol okaaay. My other favorite part of the show is how Ben never actually learns the lesson the first act sets him up for (at least in little baby Ben 10 episodes) and goes back to being a selfish little boob and saying mean things by the end of an episode. How is this show so fun? It's crazy!

OH MY FUCKING GAWD I LOVE YOU.

Seriously, I think this is hands down the funniest fic I have read in like a million years. I love how you put a random Korean boy band in there. I love Korean boy bands.

No one loves Julie. That's the best idea for a show ever. XD

Kudos to you.

[pan2dapan]

ALSO MOTHERFUCKING SHORT SHORTS YOU MAD GENIUS YOU.

[cxrdevil]

Thank you very much! I'm trying for authenticity as much as humor despite the fact that it sounds like total bs.

I don't know any Korean boy bands really but my friends love them SO MUCH it seemed fitting for the whole boy band aspect. I'm also not really interested in Mockingjay, but there's been a wave of excitement online over it.

YEAH LOL JULIE I still don't get why she sticks around, don't hate her or anything but like...purpose ja nai.

Yeah ok maybe I've seen too much mention of albedo in short shorts in this comm but he's now a little harlot in my head thanks

[the_tonberry]

M-marry me?

oh shit why am i reading this at starbucks? people are staring, i can't stop laughing, and i just sporfled my frap.

[cxrdevil]

Sorry I'm spoken for, I have a konyakusha named emabelle

omg why would you read things that make you laugh in starbucks you could choke on an espresso macchiato and DIE dude

[the_tonberry]

I read at Starbucks because I am a fucking hipster and I practically live there when I am not Geelong out over cartoons or trolling twelve year old gwevin fans. >_>

But seriously, this was the best parody piece I have read in a very long time. Compared to most ofthe Ben 10 fanfiction in general, this was hilarious, witty, and incredibly well-written. I almost wish you really had signed up for the challenge so we could have seen your spin on just one of the genres, but this wonderfully tongue-in-cheek fic managed to encompass everything and still be funny enough to kill me dead.

Bravo. We will probably be quoting lines from this for a good long time. <3

[cxrdevil]

Ok that is an acceptable answer. Fucking hipsters are better than the regular kind, too. ;O WHAT ARE YOUR OTHER FAVORITE CARTOONS OH MAN CARTOONS

No one believes me because I'm a little dorsal-finned snark, but there is legit in here buried beneath the silly and the parody. It's uh, I like to write like a Hostess cupcake. Delicious and stuff on the outside, whatever, people are like THIS IS SO GREAT IT HAS SWIRLY FROSTING but hey, under all the goof - hey! here's the cream filling! now that's the stuff!. What is a little fun if you don't make an effort to stay true to the show you love~? Also, I heart you too.

No worries on not having signed up for an actual prompt. Like many of us, I like writing. And fanfic is so fun. I'm not an A-team writer, but I'm pretty legit at it, and I definitely plan to stick around and post more stuff for this awesome show. hopefully less over-the-top, haha

[tonks17]

**giggle**

PSYCHOTIC NIGHTMARE INDUCING PSYCHOLOGICALLY SCARRING SPIDERCLOWN DREAMS

[saiika_von_maou]

This was absolutely INSANE. Gwen going up in flames, Manny with cake, people not caring about Julie, Albedo and his short shorts (I still have yet to live that down...).

I listed a lot of things out of order, but DEAR GOD. THIS WAS NUTTY AND IT MADE ME LAUGH.

Now, now, THIS passage right here:

“Don’t we get to see a lot of, I dunno, you guys looking at the body and talking to each other and writing clues on a whiteboard and meeting with real suspects and actually catching them eventually?” Ben asked the fine-scarf’d assistant while patting Kevin’s leg, who smiled hopefully.

“No,” the sexy lady alien cop said, and the man’s hope wilted. “That shit only happens on bad crime procedurals.”

“Or good ones,” the man pointed out, stroking his scarf affectionately.

“Or good ones,” she amended. “Anyway, in the real alien world, we just pick people up who don’t stand a chance of getting out of it, convict them, then either fry them or send them into another dimension. It’s easier on interplanetary politics that way.”This entire passage had

[cxrdevil]

I never expected Gwen + fire to be such a smash hit, but then I guess I forgot who the target audience is lmaoo

That passage introducing the sexy alien cop lady and her companion is enjoyable because it's directly modeled on all the most entertaining silly crime procedural shows I have filling up the DVR (bones, castle, psych, etc)

THANKS FOR ENJOYING I LOVE YOU TOO
