A few things I would like to start off with:

First of all, yes-- I do know what a search bar is, and I've used it many, many, many times. I am aware of the billions(?) of similar topics on this site, and the internet as a whole. However, in this (redundant?) topic, there are some very special criteria for the franchise on which you plan to hypothetically insert yourself:

First and foremost, it must be a Novel...you know, those things that are shat out by the truckload worldwide, and usually have dodgey plots/script, paper backs, and an excess of generic white fantasy-men.

Secondly, it must be part of the Pop-culture collective...the sort of thing that sells craploads, despite its innate dodginess; if you are having trouble determinig whether or not if it's 'pop-culture', it helps to check for certain signs-- namely, a film adaptation of varying quality, a spot on The Times' best seller list, or hordes of screaming teenagers and DeviantArt fan fics (if said book has any of those qualities, it is part of the pop-culture collective)

Thirdly and finally, said novel franchise must have a minimum amount of Shittiness. It can be one page, one character, or the entire bloody series-- it doesn't matter how much shit is contained within the front and back cover, but it must have at least some quantity of the stuff.

If you haven't figured out by now, the question I pose to you is: What Shitty pop-culture novel franchise would you like to be in?

I, personally, would have a taste for being one of those people-with-the-lifespans-of-gnats who populate Eragon...largely due to the hope that a stray arrow (fired by ME) would impale the whiny,impulsive, bastard through the head and cause him to fall screaming to his death-- I'd laugh myself incontinent if that were to happen.


EDIT: It just occured to me-- If I happened to have left out your favorite (m?)SPCNF, please tell me...I do aim to please...

I would be in the latter books of Harry Potter so I could smash that douche Potter in the face. I put off reading the books until late last year, and after regrettably enjoying something I snubbed earlier in life, I found myself hating the main character because he turned into such a tool. But ultimately, having magic is something everyone dreams about at some point in their life, and I am no exception.

None I would rather just be me. Or not exist. I'd definitely take non-existence over any of those listed.

I would definitely have to say that the Potter-verse is the lesser(least?) of those evils.

Twilight. So I could kill everyone. Just buy a gun, say hi to Bella, then BOOM blow her brains out.

Why did you censor your poll title, but not your post? *is confused*
Yes, Bella and Edward both need to die though. Harry Potter, while ripped off everything else, is still much more enjoyable than that Twilight crap.

I'd love to be in any of them just so I could end them. However, since I have to pick, I'll take the one I hate the most, which is Twilight.

Because, by clicking on the link to the post, you've already surrendered and accepted the probable vulgarity within-- as such, I need not censor it. Basically, I'm just making sure that uninterested passerby aren't drawn into my web of insanity.

Eragon, really.

It may a fairly mediocre piece, but I love fantasy settings above everything else.

Who the fuck would want to live in a world of blood-sucking creatures of the night glittering demons? That sounds more dangerous and... well, just plain lame than fun.

Eragon, I think, but mostly because I know the least about it and there aren't as many nutbar fans of it, at least that I have yet to see.

Harry Potter, just to introduce the wizarding world to the glamour of the Molotov Cocktail with a side of AK-47. Oh, we can dream...

If it was a god pop-culture book, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

But since it's a bad book, I would want to be in Harry Potter. Just to Hi-five Hagrid, Shoot Voldemort with a Desert Eagle .50 (why didn't they think of doing this?), dropkick Potter and Malfoy, and being wizard would be cool.

Twilight, but I demand I also get to bring the Dracula along, so I can watch Edward beg for mercy like a little girl before him and his pixie-pire freinds are brutalized in a pool of blood... then I use some kind of poorly written plot hole to steal Draculas powers, and ride off into the sunset and spread chaos and death ever-after! *Smiles and Hugs with Blood Stained Kittens*

Harry Potter. I KNOW that every single person who's ever read it has thought at least once how cool it would be to go to school at Hogwarts.
