    Yeah, tried reading that one to see how the story is "even better than the summary". I saw what I expected, but was still not prepared for it.

    And I agree, it has to be a troll. Literally every word had the worst possible spelling. If it were genuine, there would be at least a few instances of correct spelling.

    Woah. Like how is that even possible the story was updated just in time for me to post on this thread?

    Because awful writing always knows when you are talking about it. Sort of like MoR.

    I think the stress really got to him/her (probably her)
    And here's an "actual" summary:

    So Lanna has a bad dumbbell dick?
    The author has four stories (I first saw the one posted on ffnet's just-in and just had to follow the link). I think in all four cases the summary is the most coherent part...

    I don't know. The Bieber one has potential. Kinda like that one story awhile back where Harry Potter was a squid.

    The Triwizard Tournament is all about three schools-Hogwarts, Beauxbatons and Durmstrang- competing against each other for eternal glory. So no one expected the four champions- Harry Potter, Cedric Diggory, Fleur Delacour and Viktor Krum- to join together...and form a band...

    Not necessarily a horrible summary, but kinda funny.

    Let's hope they fight the enemy in awesome scenes of extreme violence, real strategy, and sweet electric guitar riffs ala Macross :D

    When will these people learn that real person fic is against FFN's rules?

    A lot of FFN's policies annoy the fuck out of me but, frankly, I don't need these idiots' poorly-written, creepy, real person fic making my already weird fan fic hobby look even weirder.

    People, if you see someone submitting this shit, report them. It only takes about a million complaints to get one of these stories removed by the staff. :p

    There are plenty of other sites that do accept these fucked up stories, and they can go there.

    Just a horrible thought from a thread in for review. BY THE POWER OF WARLOCKE AND ENTRENOUS, I GIVE YOU!

    Daddy's Girl » by EntreNous reviews
    Pairing: You!Fic/Miley Cyrus
    Status: Complete
    Summary: Everyone knows Miley Cyrus is your little girl.

    I just figured out I have no clue about anything poplular since the only two female actors that would fit the joke that I could think of was Miley Cyrus and Mary Kate and Ashely

    Mary Kate and Ashley are separate people, the author not being able to count is actually just as bad here. Also that summary isn't really awful, but the story does sound pretty wretched and also a Real Person fic.

    I know they are two people, but I don't care enough about them to consider them different people.

    Also, the summery is terrible because of what it says, not how it says it.

    My Heart Will Go On » By: jazminle reviews

    A retelling of Titanic starring Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy. Two souls with different social backgrounds meet during the ill- fated maiden voyage of the RMS Titanic. H/D.

    Ahahahahahahahaha.

    Love's Reign » By: ColiOli reviews

    Severus knelt down close to Harry's face. "This doesn't change a thing between us...Potter." He let his lips leave a soft kiss on Harry's cheek. 5 years post-DH. Contains Male/Male relationships. **Full Summary Inside.**

    Snape kissing Harry....:puke:

    A Chance Encounter » By: RavenPuff0830 reviews
    AU: Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter become roommates at USC. The day before Harry arrives Draco has a rather "interesting" dream about him. Harry is gay and Draco is not(or so he says) but what will happen when the dreams don't stop? The sexual tension between is so thick you can cut it with a knife. What will happen between them? Read to find out!

    Think Harry will be fucking Malfoy.

    The third, however, is a bad summary.

    "He's like, totally gay, but Malfoy says he's not. There's sexual tension because they're roommates at somewhere that isn't, you know, a magic school, because Harry had a fucked up dream."

    I'd say the first is actually an excellent summary. Tells you everything you need to know about the fic in two and a bit short sentences without making any mistakes. There are some very good writers who could learn a lot from that summary. ;)

    Bad? Yeah, i'll give you that. But "worst"? That's nothing compared to something like:

    Say what?
