Believe it or not kids, I was a fan of Inuyasha way back when adult swim was still the Toonami Midnight Run. (god, I miss Toonami being daily…)

Most of the people who were here when I first joined have either left or atrophied, their glorious work buried under the massive pile of newcomers who saw Inuyasha one night on AS and went "OMG! Puppy Ears!" Now, this is exactly what I did the first time I saw Inuyasha, but I didn't feel compelled to go out and write fanfiction immediately.

After a year-long hiatus, I come back to find that, instead of being able to find amazing stories every time I logged on, I must now trudge through many, many, MANY stories to find one that is even passable. IN addition, as someone who has followed the series all the way up to the current manga chapter, it annoys me to no end that OOC-ness is RAMPANT.

Before whipping out the seppuku knife, one must first consider why.

Inuyasha is an amazing show. I love it to death. But the reason I'm consistently angered by fan fiction is that there seems to be several conceptions about the show… most of which are WRONG.

So I've identified the 25 most popular fan fiction ideas. Taking a cue from the amazing Blahsblah 2001, I am going to parody them mercilessly. I'm gonna mash them all together to make the most hilarious Inuyasha fan fiction… EVER.

And if you're getting all huffy and thinking, "Uh! What a bitch! How dare she think she's better than us just because she can read the manga!" I have two bits of advice. West of Tokyo and Ear Tweak both have extensive archives of the manga. You can read it yourself. Second… get a life. Inuyasha is just a cartoon. And fan fiction is just a website.

And with that said… I bring you…

Enjoy! RKR

Superfic

I'm slowly remembering why I hate truth-or-dare. My friends, being the unbelievable perverts that they are, always give me dirty dares. And I don't dare venture a truth, because those are even worse. And it's my turn.

"Okay, Rei. You picked dare. You gotta… um…" Sakura blinked her green eyes, looking around the room and trying to think of something to do. "You gotta make out with this plushie for 1 minute!" She held up a horrifically chibified Inuyasha and wiggled it in front of my nose.

"… Sakura, that's the dumbest dare you have ever given me. Now give me the espresso beans, its 3 am and we are going to bed."

"… but…"

"Shoko and Hez are already asleep. I'm about to get there myself. Bed."

She pouted, then her face brightened. "Okay, but first…" with a quick glance around, she leaned closer to me, brown pigtails framing her face. " We gotta try it."

I probably paled visibly. "No. We are not doing anything else with any kind of sexual overtones!"

"Not THAT, Rei! You know…"

Oh. That. The alternate reality thing.

A few days ago, Shoko had stumbled across a website that had "proof" of multiverse theory, and even listed a way to jump into another reality. It sounded cool, but always the late-night stick-in-the-mud, I was balking.

"PLEASE, Ryune? I'll let you have Yuki…"

That did it. Even though all four of us were 19, we still fought over bishounen like schoolgirls. Yuki Sohma was too great a prize to refuse some pandimensional tinkering. I nodded, sitting silently while Sakura rallied Shoko and Hez from the depths of slumber. After she explained what we were gonna do, the two of them brightened, and got ready.

"Okay, but we have to decided on a universe to head into."

Like there was much debate. All four of us, being rabid Inuyasha fans, knew exactly where we wanted to go.

Using the rough model that had been given on the site, Sakura used some odds and ends to form a makeshift reality-bending device.

"But we don't know what that universe's serial number is. Or if it even exists!" protested Hez, always the logical one.

Maybe it was the late hour, or maybe the 20 espresso-beans' worth of caffeine coursing through our veins, but somehow running a Google search on "Inuyasha" and allowing that to take us where it may seemed like a good idea.

There was a steady whir as the machine started up, a blinding flash of light as it locked onto the other world, and an implosive "bamf" as the four of us left our world and found ourselves once again in my room.

"That was… anticlimactic" mumbled Shoko, dusting herself off.

Sakura's face fell. "Well, it was worth a try."

We all sat around dejectedly, trying to let the adrenaline run off, and soon felt our eyelids getting droopy.

I was nearing the edge of dreamland when Shoko's voice rocketed through the room. "Rei!" she hollered, jumping up. "If this is your room, where are your posters!"

She had a point. The various anime posters (including the nice Sesshomaru cut-out I had stolen from a Walden Books display for the third movie), my pride and joy, were gone. All of them.

The door banged open. An angry red-haired girl stood in the doorway. "Keep it down!" she snarled. "The rest of us are sleeping!"

Now this came as a shock to me. My sister, who does have red hair, hasn't lived with the family for three years. But this girl was not my sister. When she turned on her heel and slammed the door, there was a brief flash of white fluff.

There was a long pause, as the cold, harsh truth dawned on us. We hadn't gotten into Inuyasha. Nor were we still in my room.

In our stupidity, we had gotten stuck in an Inuyasha fan fiction.

And apparently, I was supposed to be Ayame's sister.

Hez summed it up nicely for all of us: "Well… crap."

TWO DOWN, 23 to go!

I shall give rewards to those that follow and keep track of what I parody. If you can tell me at the conclusion of this story, I shall give you something much to your liking.
