    I know this is really old, but I don't see the humor in this. It feels like an insult to people who study Islam.

    So there I was, trolling through the HP-Avengers crossover section on ff.net. Uniformly bad summaries, but a comforting, predictable form of awfulness. Then I get to this one. A decent first sentence, everything spelled correctly, decent use of semicolon, keep reading...

    oh

    Damaged Bodies, Growing Lives, Building Families by StarLight Massacre
    Harry's painstakingly rebuilt world is destroyed again; then he meet's Clint Barton, the sharp eyed archer from the renowned Avengers team. Left broken and pregnant, can he be put back together again? Does he even want to be fixed after everything he's been subjected to or will his love for his baby and the support of the Avengers pull him through the very lowest point of his life?

    I swear if I see more bad Avengers xovers, I'm going to leave someone broken and pregnant.

    Yes, that is around 150 words per chapter, and two of those chapters are complaints by the author about writer's block.

    Seems normal enough review . . . right up to the last line.
    Why would I want to waste my time reading two freakin' chapters that have nothing to do with the story arc? At least they had the courtesy to tell me that they have no clue how to tell a story.

    Wow, I now need to bleach my brain, repeatidly. It's like they are not even trying to lopk like literate, or not-brain dead. I thought My Immortal could only be trolling, now I need to review my whole life. Also, fun reading the History lesson.

    I didn't realize someone would write 100,000+ words for a story based on this idea.

    It's actually a moderately decent story. The point of departure is deliberately quite ridiculous.

    Bad Romance by uchiha.s.
    Summary: She loved him first.
    Rated: Fiction M - English - Drama/Romance - Hermione G. & Tom R. Jr. - Chapters: 59 - Words: 200,994 - Reviews: 2,479 - Favs: 995 - Follows: 1,167 - Updated: 08-06-13 - Published: 08-02-11 - id: 7245838

    This by far is the shortest summary I've ever seen. It doesn't explain the plot or summarize it in any way, and the only reason you can tell it's a Tom Riddle/Hermione pairing is because their the two main characters. I looked at the first just to see what it was, and while it wasn't awful, it was too boring.

    I'm just going to refer you to this post, Nerdman. :\

    Shouldn't have to, but it's just near the top of this very page, but...
