My Immortal, something many claim as the first modern fanfiction published onto the internet. Oddly enough, this trainwreck of a story has an author whose identity remains a secret to this day. My Immortal follows the adventures of Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way in the gothic alternate universe of Harry Potter, so in many respects, My Immortal is also the first instance of AUs being introduced into established works. Originally posted on Fanfiction.net 2006-2007, the story was once taken down, only to be brought back from the dead by a user named: xXMidnightEssenceXx on the same website. Which then reignited the internet in a fiery explosion of parodies, serious book readings and much more. The story ended as mysteriously as it had begun and is considered an example of what NOT to do when you're writing fanfiction.

Peter Parker was a normal boy, he was 16 and went to Midtown High school in Queen's and was at the top of his class, school even. In short, he was a genius. But he wasn't all that normal, because he knew the avengers, and most importantly, he was Spider-man. Everything was fine until he revealed who he was behind the mask to the avengers. You would think that they would accept the young teen but no, they harassed him calling him names and, quite literally started bullying him. Then, when it was already bad, he was kidnapped by Hydra. What will he do once he escapes? Well, he did what his gut told him to do. So he joined SHIELD.
