Look at what you did, Internet, you made Ralph Fiennes blush

January 22, 2012 7:27 AM

Tony Award winner, BAFTA winner, and multiple Oscar nominee Ralph Fiennes reads briefly aloud from a Voldemort/Harry slashfic entitled "Broken Innocence," by Jaden Kelly. (SLYT for nerds, no redeeming social value) (via)

Evil! Um... I mean, I hope it's PG rated at the most.

"If this is wrong, then I don't want to be right," said Harry.

In a similar vein: I've always loved this clip of David Tennant's reaction to hearing excerpts from Doctor Who fanfic.

"Your wand is long and thicker than most, hard as aged oak and just as noble" moaned Harry.

Well, so much for that. -_-

"Commensus Analingus!" intoned Voldemort, shaking his massive wand.

But, but I thought it is ALWAYS better with an English accent! Has public TV deceived me?!

This is just disturbing on so many levels.

TV tropes has en entire entry about people, in character or otherwise, finding out there is fanfiction of them.

"Quentin Tarantino and Eli Roth both discovered all the Fan Fics and Rule 34 of Inglourious Basterds, and were ecstatic about it. And decided to forward as many fanfics to their parents as possible. Before discussing how unrealistic they are. ("Everyone knows that the Bear Jew is a pitcher, not a catcher.") "

I'll listen to Fiennes say anything . . . except that.

Was it on Metafilter that I first learned of Dobby/Sorting Hat slash? Because that's haunted me for years.

More for me! Although I have to admit the cheesy music played up the comic aspect of it. As did the fact he was in in his jammies.

Andy Cohen's teeth are unnerving, BTW.

That could have done with a NSFW tag or something similar to protect my innocence.

This is the perfect thread to remind you perverted Dirty Potter fans that his new episode is out!

I sure as hell didn't read it, but I did once stumble across a link to fic between Captain Jack Harkness and the 10th Doctor's severed hand.

You obviously haven't heard the way most 'normal' English people speak, have you? Hinet: they don't sound like Ralph Fiennes, Branagh, Patrick Stewart or Alan Rickman.

I wonder what it says of me that my surprise at this is only mild.

Ha, if I have learned anything, is that in the US an English accent is always a plus even if it is not posh, or toffee.
