    For bonus points - it is not a story, somebody is looking for one.

    I can't see this being anything other than a parody, but I couldn't bring myself to even click on the story to find out.

    Not only does the summary not even function as a summary, but the quote chosen doesn't give me a reason to even want to check out the first chapter. And do note that it is supposed to be Angst/Family. What?

    I was about rip on you for posting a stupid-story-line-but-not-worthy-summary type of summary here. Then I focused on the spelling. Seriously people, it's the first introduction to a story. If someone can't be bothered to edit a summary, why would I ever want to read the story?

    I just don't get it.

    Considering how many people write HP fanfic and spell Harry Potter wrong, this should not surprise you.

    4996 : Everything that was forbidden. by Ebby Riddle Novel
    Rating: 15+ Chapters: 22 Reviews: 90

    "Because i was his daughter," she said simply.
    Harry blinked rapidly.
    "Voldemort? you're Voldemort's daughter?" he sputtered.
    she shook her head, closing her vivid green eyes. her jet black hair whirled around her pink cheeked, lightly freckled face.
    "No, but i was."


    Uh, what? (Not from ffn amazingly enough)

    I don't see what's so bad about it that it deserves to be called one of "Fanfiction's Worst Summaries".

    It has a bit of a grammar problem and I can tell already that the author is going to be using a helluva lot of adverbs and poor dialogue tags, but other than that there's nothing really wrong with it. If anything it's a perfect summary because it gives a fairly accurate portrayal of the story's contents and the author's skill level.

    For instance: I can tell immediately that the premise is a love story between Harry Potter and Voldemert's daughter - which is a story I might enjoy reading -, but likewise I can tell that Voldemort's daughter will be a Mary Sue and the romance will be poorly handled - which stops me from reading the story.

    harrry is kinda like a rogue a bit like the ice queen, no nonsense guy. romance. weaselys, draco ,hermione, daphne, neville ginny u know the main stuff. so what happens if harry got into contact with magic earlier. read and find out.

    Just stumbled upon this gem. Someone has to be trolling. The story itself is even better than the summary.
