My Immortal
A distinct Carlisle tradition, My Immortal was started as a tradition in the 12.2 session by Ari Carr, Mark Gee, and Simon Wentworth. What initially started as a reading between these friends, people gradually joined and it soon became a session-wide tradition. The tradition consists of sitting in a circle in Dickinson's Carlisle#HUB HUB after meals and taking turns reading terrible fan-fiction. The token literature is My Immortal, a Harry-Potter fan-fiction which is rumored to be the Starcrash Starcrash of literature (if you can even call it that). Participants take turns reading, a turn ends either when a page is completed, or the reader laughs from the sheer hilarity of the works.
While it is pure tradition to read My Immortal first, the reading session also includes other "notable" works of literary merit. Included in this list is:
- Half Life: Full Life Consequences
- Excerpts from "Ask Alice"
- Others which are at the leisure of the current session campers
