    AU crossover smut I could deal with, but this?

    I tried to read it once... 862,607 words of what is almost certainly the most damnable example of "Telling Instead of Showing" in existence.

    I've not seen many episodes of Stargate, but it seems this person simply gave a synopsis of each episode, except with Harry-Sue solving most of the problems. It reads like an instruction manual. :facepalm Some well written smut could have only helped its case. Hell, poorly written smut could have helped this thing. As it stands, it's about as dry and flavorless as a dirt and melba toast sandwich, served at noon, in Death Valley.

    I haven't logged onto Ficwad for a long time. If there are truly some interesting stories there, could you give me some links? Aside from the WbA, I haven't anything to read. I could do with some interesting stories.

    I promise not to hold you responsible if I have to scratch my eyes out :).

    When I say "interesting", I mean that they have some stories that hold my interest. Most of DLP wouldn't like my favorited stories on Ficwad.

    For instance, the story titled "Jedi Potter", would probably get a 1/5 or even a 0/5 if someone were to try and get it passed our review board.

    Another example is "Flames of Betrayal" on Ficwad. Has an evil!Albus. Not many people like that. It does has it's few funny/good moments, but I have no idea if most of DLP would like it.

    You can probably search for my username on Google for Ficwad (same as this one) using Google. Their site owner, is yet again ignoring the website. The only thing he fixed last time was the Update notifier, and didn't bother fixing anything else. Dickhead. Someone else needs to take over that website.

    I love how I came in here and notice a few of the stories. I laughed so hard, good times.

    Harry Potter and the Most Electrifying Man

    Dumbledore found another living relative for Harry to live with. One who is the most electrifying man in all of entertainment.
    Harry Potter - Rated: T - English - Humor - Chapters: 4 - Words: 7,749 - Reviews: 24 - Updated: 3-13-12 - Published: 11-26-11 - Harry P.

    This was posted before in the old "awesomely bad" thread, but since it got updated recently figured it was worth mentioning it here again. I was "marking out" when I saw the update email in my inbox. Make no mistake, this is absolutely terrible. But it's beautiful nonetheless.

    It's one of those things that make me feel bad for laughing because of how terrible it is but oh god it makes me laugh so much.

    Hey HoS, I remember that one. I followed it way back then, while Omni Black first published it.
