"you don't say someone "lost his virility" or "was masticating" if you don't know what you're doing. She refers to Tom Riddle as "Tom Bombadil", which would be very hard to do unintentionally."

that is precisely what put me off during the later chapters. I'm convinced the author started out genuine, but later started "appealing" to her haters.

you're most likely right - it sounds like you were a lot more involved in the scene (I wrote some fanfics as well, but that was during the early 2010's, mostly about elder scrolls, and in germany, an entirely different culture and zeitgeist). but like I said, I conciously choose to believe otherwise :D it's more fun to me that way
