"Bring Me to Life" is a "short, semi-historical metafanfic" about the origins of My Immortal based on a discussion on the Wild Mass Guessing page. It was written by RandomTroperWhoLikes1R.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The official summary:Tara Gilesbie is failing her English class. No, she's not one of those honors kids who claim that they're failing when they really have a B. She has a literal F on her report card for English. So when she's asked to write a short story to bring up her grade, she does the only sane thing that a girl like her could do.It can't be that hard to resurrect Oscar Wilde and get him to write her story, right?But there's something a little bit...different about her teacher's favorite author. He can't spell or use grammar properly, so Tara gets Edgar Allan Poe to be his beta reader. The two of them have epic plans to write a "gothic reinterpretation of Harry Potter," but will it work out, or will the whole project crash and burn?A brief tale of how the worst's worst piece of literature, "My Immortal," came about.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })It can be found here. | |

Moustache de Plume: Inverted. Oscar Wilde's pen name is "Tara Gilesbie," and Edgar Allan Poe uses the gender neutral pen name of "Raven." | |

Skewed Priorities: Tara seems to have them, as she decides not to dig up Oscar Wilde's grave not because it is illegal, but because it is in France. | |

Beam Me Up, Scotty!: Lampshaded In-Universe. One of Wilde's misattributed quotes is on a poster in Tara's room, and he claims that he never said that. | |

Shout-Out: Certainly fewer than this author's other works, but there are a few to Oscar Wilde and Edgar Allan Poe's works, as well as bands such as My Chemical Romance, Evanescence, and Panic! at the Disco. | |
