I would bet good money that the author is now enjoying the Link character AI chatbots and is falling into deep AI psychosis, if they never grew out of this that is LOL

Leafiane

the phrase "mary sue char" punted me back to 2005

bigbigtruck

I love autism

Inea

I love that the first chapter also didn't have any actual story in it. I wish Ike had been like "by the way, the author deleted the entire story, that note is all that's left on their page"

Stephanie Paich

Wow this one really got me. The amount of times it sounded like rant done, only to double down and attack something or someone else is perfect.

ProjectMathew

This reads like Yuri lambasting Natsuki for leaving a hate comment on her fanfic.

ITS_BABA_YAGA_BEYOTCH

please continue/fisish this series XD!

corey becker

The battle hymn of the Republic broke me

Erik

Shoutout to the hardworking gecko warning everyone about the contents of this fanfiction.

Project Elytron

The AN alone should have been a separate chapter😂 also ike or toasty completely losing it in the background had my ribs aching😂

Sammijoanne

is that Toasti back there laughing his ass off like tht was high key the best part during the crash out LMAO

Ellie

This is so fucking funny, and totally relatable. When I was young on the internet I would have typed just the same thing. The early internet was so earnest and everyone was ready to be vulnerable, but people were also earnestly hateful hahah! "Surely I just have to explain to these people why they should stop bullying me! That will surely make them stop! :D". When folks talk about why social media is bad, this is why lol. Because it esposes the naive to the mean, nerd to bully, and in numbers higher than any other time in history.

bigdandy

I think we found My immortal’s author!!!

Dexalin Yuki

The disclaimer was such a fanfiction.net nostalgia trip

Chelsea Cesaire

Really is fucking "I have a dream"

Tanerite

The response to reviews that complained about particular aspects of the content after having been clearly warned about such content is valid. The thing that is funny is the insistence that such people are acting childishly rather than like adults while simultaneously acting childishly by getting so riled up about such meaningless things in the first place.

old aj

"persona, noun, in biology, same as person" really caught me off guard. I cracked up already. And we haven't even gotten past the first page of the author's notes.

old aj

WHERE WAS THE SEX

Salt&PepperBunny

When you knew from the GECKO

Robynn_Houd

I have not laughed THIS HARD in so long oh my GOD

Alyssa

The laugh in the background is contagious love it!

Jonnileigh Harris

I was in the wattpad/fanfiction community and I’m pretty sure lemon was the term for smut in general back then. Now, that doesn’t mean that a lot of lemon wasn’t gay! 😂

Lillian Cloudwing

I can't get over the fact that they kept calling the smut "lemon". Wasn't that a term for gay stuff?

Turner Strait

My headphones died right as Arin said “Don’t read on” which definitely feels like a sign

John Spera

The author is unbelievably invested in their fanfic

Jack

That authors note was gold. Please continue this one!

Robert Kindling

Arin was really channeling some Chris Chan energy while reading that author's note, ha ha.

Rennon the Shaved

Dan half falling asleep in a daze is my mood for life 🤣

Bella

can someone check on the author? i fear they might have crashed tf out after writing that authors note. regardless i think the crash out was valid

Piblett

That authors note is how I write essays with a minimum word count

Caite Avaleigh

Ah yes. What every fic I read needs: A fifteen minute T.O.S. style lecture.

The Great Calamity

Flames, misspellings, lots of sex?!? Is this the My Immortal writer?!?!

Quinn_Spooples

What is SO FUNNY about the authors note is they're complaining about the exact same thing they are doing. Also, it's why its SO FUNNY 🤣

Jens

the authors note made me WEEP LAUGHING and my eyes bulge simultaneously.

Jens

My character is NOT a Mary Sue!! She’s- (proceeds to describe a literal Mary Sue)

Veronica Adams

See I was thinking there was no way that a Chris-Chan level fanfic creator only wrote 1 page of a story. Now I’m so currious about what they wrote about their Mary Sue and link but….I’m afraid.

Veronica Adams

I was hoping someone had brought up the piss ceremony. That and the author's note are the two parts of this fic that have stayed with me for 20 years.

Ashly

There is WAY more of My Inner Life and you guys are missing out HUGE if you don't read it. You'll miss when she has to drink Link's piss in order to marry him.

Samantha Wright

This feels like a PSA for my Dad to listen to. 15 minutes of Gold Warning. Thank you so much for keeping that part in.

Andrew Le

"Flames" are just what they called bad reviews back then. I've not read, but listened to, this entire fanfic (manwithoutabody on youtube), and the whole vibe is super different.

Jean Baptiste

Gosh darn.. they didn't add any edits when they were reading the long-ass ramble, but started the edits when they started reading. WHY?? I just wanna see the boys reading. Who did this to this series? ;_;

Alex Nay

I'm listening to this through an ear bud at work and 100% am where Dan was around minute 19. That is so much warning but makes so much sense for the time this was written lmfao

Ethan

I'm not kidding, the author describes her and Link boinking it like tigers in the later chapters, it's WILD.

Elizabeth Levan

To the WHAT

Whaddayagonnado

I think the word 'queer' is used to mean 'odd' or 'unusual' in the context. I think? This was the meaning quite a few years ago, similar to how the word 'gay' used to mean happy.

Anonymous201K

Real

Link H

iunno... that ET fic in ep 2 was pretty gnarly. they just might read it all.

Sweatpants Joe

The wild part is that the sentiment of the author's note is not incorrect. It is, in fact, shitty and immature to read something you know you won't like just to leave nasty comments about it. But any moral high ground the author had is immediately completely destroyed by the five full pages of self-important capslock scolding instead of just deleting the offending reviews and ignoring it. Incredible stuff.

glamafonic

>18:32 oh shit did Toko write this? No wonder she's the ultimate writer

Adrien Lee

was this originally on fanfiction dot NET???? how old is this fic lmaooo

Lee Mulkins

I hope they keep going...

Sarahmonster

I forgot that part, I think this story traumatized me so much I blocked out certain parts.

Elizabeth Levan

This is the "My Immortal" of LOZ fanfiction.

Elizabeth Levan

There is a real story. I've read it. It's a pretty infamous fic.

Elizabeth Levan

I really hope they continue this. It's so much. It feels like a fever dream.

Elizabeth Levan

It's wild!!!! Lmfao. You might need eye bleach afterwards.

Elizabeth Levan

Who else read the whole story ages ago? Can't wait til they get to all the tiger sex lmfao.

Elizabeth Levan

It was a real story, I've read it.

Elizabeth Levan

It's coming!!! Just wait.

Elizabeth Levan

It's fucking wild!!!

Elizabeth Levan

OMFG they picked my fic!!!! Once they get past the intro it's even fucking crazier!!!! Thanks so much Danny and Arin!!!!

Elizabeth Levan

It just sounded like white noise after 10 minutes

National Freak

if you would like to sync up the song Dan started humming its here and it makes the rant SO GOOD https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbEB-R8qCCc

Cameron Mouser

Oh I thought it was blood upon the risers

samurai racc

I feel like we kinda have to know where this goes after that author's note

bilbsy

Y'know, just because of that wild ass author's note, now I really do want to hear you guys read it to us!

Sarah Peck

"Also as a side note" 12 minutes into the video is so funny

MimBread

Link was a child in like 60% of that game…so…questionable about how much the author cares for link…

DeAsha Napier

this is a troll. there is no story, just a rant. lmao

Angelique Sclafani

So real theory. Is this actually the person who wrote My Immortal? Theres soooooo many similarities in that “authors note” Including “i have been flamed….”

Rachel Fischer

BIGGEST same

Rachel Fischer

I beg your finest pardon

ObakeAri

Dan humming Battle Hymn of the Republic broke me

MusicNerdJay

Dan face lol hes like "OMFG Where is the story beginning at ??!!" lmao

IamCKilla

Thanks you for this, everyone involved. It made my day. And remember.... You cannot just ask childish.

Ollie Smiles

"I loved him since I first laid eyes on him." "My first Zelda game was Ocarina of Time." THE ONE WHERE HE STARTS AS A CHILD???

Montez

Modern art masterpiece

deadxdying

The Battle Hymn of the Republic, a civil war tune written by an abolitionist about how God's wrath would stomp out the Confederacy. Look up the full lyrics, they're interesting

Dakota Miller

I'm LIVING for this. You guys are not ready for the Bonding Ceremony and tiger allegory sex.

VillainIsLemony

this killed me. i'm dead. that was the greatest thing i've ever heard

Laura Kay

I was promised sex and blood. Where is my earth shattering kaboom?

Sarahmonster

dan humming the usa anthem or whatever patriotic song that is took me tf out

Shane Hamilton

Oh my goodness! The one time I'm late and it's my submission! (I'm lezzybeaverman, not bowerman, but close enough). I shrieked in delight! There is SO MUCH MORE. And when she says heavy sex, she means "they do a bonding ceremony where they drink each other's pee and bang in front of monks". But it's LOOOONG and honestly the author's note is one of the best parts, so that's where I focused when I sent it in. This was everything I've ever wanted.

Elizabeth Biberman

This... story?... was the most drawn-out and exhausting I've heard... and it hasn't even started yet... 20 minutes of nothing but "this is what it's going to be", "queer" and basically saying "I wanna be a writer, put my work out there, but F you if you critizise me".

Zindor

This author talks like Chris-Chan and i pray that they did not turn out like Chris-Chan

Enrique Flores

I could feel myself dissociating as the "author's note" kept going. Only to snap back in when the author would once again use the word "Queer" because what the flip-flop???

LizzToons

So is there more or...?

Megera Clark

Well, the author's heart is in the right place.

CSDX

Live, Laugh, love Ike, thank you for picking the fanfiction we wanted

Clover Jean

What’s your favorite episode of FFST Billy? I like the one where Arin read a pontificating author’s note for a looooooong time But like holy crow. Like 15min!

penguinxiii

Goddamn i love an earnest, unhinged screed. fantastic ep

David Webster

The author's notes gave me the same feeling as gooning for 5 hours on a Sunday evening, not finishing, then going to bed and remembering i have work the next day.

(NOT)Josh

This is giving me a bran new appreciation for the efficiency of the author's notes in My Immortal. A simple: "STOP FLAMMING!!!111 Raven fangs the help" would have sufficed haha

Silver

And the modern connotation applied back then, too.

Jacob Tucker

Arin's comedic timing is on point

Stanton Parsons

Being single never hurt so bad until I read this. The envy is real

Will Dodd

This was written about 25 years ago.

bjnklcn

This author REALLY needs to stop using the word "Queer." I don't know what generation she thinks she's from, but it has a VERY different connotation in this day and age.

Jacob Tucker

Legend of Zelda fanfiction makes being named Link a risky business ngl

Link Finch

I entirely agree, if only there was some sort of warning

Fel

Around 16 minutes in and ready to start the fanfiction 😂

Justyne Ogden

This entire segment feels like we just found someone's 20-year-old diary off the ground- unsigned, unnamed, and unaddressed- read it to the class the next day, and now are wrought with the burden of never knowing the true identity of such a fine and raw relic

Alyssa W

I WISH we had an inkling of what the original writer is up to now, and yet more power to their privacy. This is apparently a RELIC of a fic, pre-My Immortal, so who knows where the author is now. I also hope they're doing well for themselves. (And have a better sense of writing)

Alyssa W

This is such a fever dream 🫠

Olivia Fletcher

I pine for "Raven fangz 4 helpin agen". It's more nonsensical but goddamn is it shorter 😆

Chris M

Jesus Christ. So many times I thought it was finally over, but it just kept going.

Mike Z

God, the JOURNEY we went on there. From "4 pages??", to "Okay, first page is a fair set of warnings, a little intense and self important, but whatever", to...THE MOMENT THE CAPS LOCK GOT CHAINED DOWN AGAINST ITS WILL AND GOT PROGRESSIVELY MORE UNHINGED...and then back to matter of fact notes. Arin's delivery was 100000/10. No notes. So much commitment. Dan's "I'm just amazed we haven't started" was the chefs kiss. I literally had to pause the video to catch my breath. Absolutely dying over here. The transition of the audience from "4 whole pages?" to "how is this only 4 pages?" is just...unmatched.

E Nix

From "I can't believe a slot is wasted for this trash" to "This is actually kinda funny", though I do not want any more of this "novelty" shit.

Bart the Beard

Kinda wanna shake the author, like making this long of a rant on the internet 1. Shows a lack of self reflection in just so many ways 2. Invites people to trash you because your rant is hella funny

breadcrumbhoarder

It's definitely written by a middle grader who has a strong hyperfixation on her first sexual awakening.

Tawnee Rios

For those wondering: yes, there is a lot more to this story and yes Dan and Arin ABSOLUTELY need to read it.

Typhon

Me and the wife just got home from a nice date and are happily ending the night listening to a passive aggressive authors notes reading. Perfect way to end the day.

Sean Walizer

No way is there no more story 🤣 did the chapters the people were complaining about just get lost to time? That's crazy 😂😅

Ali Cat

Yeah Phoenix Tight and My Inner Life blow that whole “the Grinch doesn’t fuck Tony the Tiger” story out of the water. Read on

Rhab

I thought My Immortal had too many Author's notes

Teebyzmal

I think it would have been even funnier if it turned out of there was no legend of Zelda fanfiction, this was the entire thing, a fake author's note

MC Dexpo

I really appreciate the fact that the intro music for these videos fades in rather than just starts at full volume because the volume of patreon videos is always super fuckin loud for me for some reason and I have to turn it down every time so it's nice to get a chance to do that without going deaf

Doktor Vem

i know everyone's having a good time laughing at the author's note but i can't help but feel bad for them and i hope they're okay

theberryofdingle

That was beautiful

SerenitySolstice

"You are all immature and childish for leaving mean comments! Anyway here's a story about how I fuck the little elf guy with the green hat."

bjnklcn

All jokes aside, tell me you're insecure without telling me you're insecure. Wow

Kenneth D. Mohr

Didn't think you could attach a manifesto to a story. The more you know. 🌠

Intret

Wait....so what kind of story is this?

Kenneth D. Mohr

This was WAY too horny you guys. I know there's always a chance with fanfic to be adult rated, but this was too much.

Cody B

“In the beginning” the note quite literally took up 15 minutes of a 20 minute video 💀💀 a little much

Avorie

I can’t get over “we need to conduct ourselves like adults” when it is SO evident that this person is like 16 years old

Avorie

I've never heard a more true quote to represent the internet than "People are out there, man."

Forward Slash

I need them to continue reading this just to validate all of us sitting through 15 minutes of an author's note XD

ToraKU14

I'm going to incorporate "knew from the gecko" into my vocabulary.

Miss Tooni

That authors not took half of my break, what am I doing with my life

Nan McVicker

OMG YES, jokes aside, these are actually really good words! Toxicity doesn't help anybody and why I usually have comments on stuff turned off. There's a difference between constructive criticism and just being toxic for no reason. This author is very valid to write all of this👏❤️

FuzzyOtterPaws

ALSO???? what year is it the author using queer as it was originally defined is throwing me I can't even be offended because they're not using it like a slur????

Alissa

MY GOD, that's the biggest laughing fit I've heard in one of these, and just from Author's Notes!😂

FuzzyOtterPaws

The rant in the beginning about the negative reviews is actually very valid👏

FuzzyOtterPaws

I heard "lemon" and felt an entire decade of life force get ripped away from me

Alissa

I haven't heard of either of these but My Immortal and My Inner Life seem similar with both starting with "My", saying "don't flame", having author's notes and grammar/spelling errors, etc. I think it may be the same author, or possibly someone just copying them on purpose XD Edit: Well the grammar is too good to be the same lol. Just maybe similar vibes at certain times lol

FuzzyOtterPaws

pls continue i love (hate) (love) my inner life sm 😭

emiwy

What's the chance that this was written by the same anonymous person who wrote "My Immortal"? That bit in the preface where they say "don't flame me" seems like a little hint. Also with the grammar and spelling errors which seem too funny to be unintentional. Maybe it's just me.

Nathan Olson

A simple "keep criticism constructive and respectful" would have sufficed. Even the author of "My Immortal" wasn't this extra 😂

AirenMarie

Dang. Arin reading those author notes and banging his fist down has some real mein kampf energy. I'm glad his research is going well!

Atticus Jackson

The record for longest author's note has been set. 🤣

Shelby Bird

After that disclaimer section, I'm like Dan and started falling asleep, haha.

Ricardo Perez

I was interrupted kissing your dad, a whiskey bearded kiss no less, to listen to THIS?!

Bryce

13:27 might be my favorite auto correct ever.

AnnaRenee

Those author’s notes make the My Immortal author seem sane.

MewKiichigo

Ok I didn't what I was in for but my Tumblr brain loves this already,I can't wait for more

Julia Soler

15 minutes of author's note and 3 minutes of story 😂

Cael AJ

i can’t believe almost the entire episode is JUST THE AUTHOR’S NOTE

claire

“The plot needs some work”? Girl I thought these were your dreams 😂 God Arin reads these scripts with such emotion I cannot contain my laughter

littlenoodledragon

I can't I'm 7 minutes in and it's still the Author's Notes 😂 Is this the new My Immortal in my life?

Shembear

FIFTEEN MINUTES OF WARNINGS

Nicolas Escañuelas

Hell yeah boys, let's go Edit: came back after watching the episode. We need a sub-series that is JUST author's notes for these things

DMAN

Getting reeeeaaal "I'm warning you with peace and love" vibes here

Mallow

This is why I paid for the patreon. No other reason. Something to listen to wile I kiss your dad

MikesterMF

Yippee, and I just finished errands too!
