i mean, they're fanfiction based off contemporary understandings of the bible, so i get it.

I’m pretty sure Dante Alighieri was not writing fanfiction, but was in fact creating a satirical work, as he wrote this during his years of being Excommunicated. Which is also part of The reason it’s referred to as The Divine Comedy (La Divina Commedia). He was excommunicated for false political crimes.

Also Dante’s Inferno was also a proof of concept for what became the modern Italian language.

( though if you’re saying fan fiction sarcastically I do agree)

Look man if someone comes to found a new language based on Harry Potter smut it won't change what it was.

@Alwaysnownevernotme@lemmy.world i would like to read this harry potter smut what caused a new language please. alohomydrawersa

Also i was using the term fanfiction very, very loosely. not so much sarcastically, but more in finger quotes. damn limitations of media with only a few types of emphasis.

I mean didn't he literally write his political rivals into positions of suffering and misery and make them admit to culpability and guilt?

It's honestly a little more sad than normal pottersmut, it would be like if you wrote about how your bosses son is a Hufflepuff and can't get laid.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

...write pottersmut where that one boss who was mean to me and keeps getting divorced gets divorced because he's so bad at sex he literally can't get laid, and it will inspire a new language, you are full of good ideas can we go to coffee sometime?

I'm not opposed, just keep me out of your magnum opus. 😉
