    I can see that being used as a title for a story somewhere down the line. The horror...

    Why? I've already asked 3 authors. WHY do you want to be seen as retarded?
     
  6. All these crazy fan girls make me sick. They make everyone else look stupid or just plain retarded. I do feel bad for the world today; it seems people become dumber by the minute. Anyways back to bad summaries, I found a few on fandom.

    What is all that suppose to mean? He is going to love himself?!

    It could of been this girls summary, and a another shocker the story is even untitled.

    Well I always thought sex was sex but you know it can be different in the wizarding world. Most likely the interesting thing Harry discovers is that his partner has a penis.

    What?

    What does her family issues have anything to do with the story?

    Or the usual "homosexuality is encouraged within the Wizarding World."

    The class is probably supposed to be called 'Sex Magic'. Not 'Sex-Ed Magic'.

    That summary, however, is fairly disturbing.

    True, but then I imagine someone mocking my country like that... and I get this urge to shoot something. And yes, making fun is quite OK - up to a point. That... thing wasn't fun, it was mean and cruel.

    As for fun: "Dear guests, welcome to Bulgaria. Please don't leave your luggage alone and put your hands in your pockets... and God help you!"

    Mordac, when read as a comedy piss take, that fic you gave the summmary of is actually quite good. Certainly the author is excellent. Same person who authored The Dragon Masters, and Anarkia.

    Oh, is it supposed to be a parody?
    I didn't noticed what it was listed as, and I didn't dare open it becuase of what I read in the summary.
    Well, the summary still looks pretty bad.

    The thing that pisses me off the most about this guy is that he uses ' I live in detroit' as a fucking excuse for bad grammer. Then tells people not to tell him to face facts because he's poor. His 'life story' is less believable than his fics,and he claims his brother has won an award in writing. I live in detroit, dont see me misspelling every other word I type.

    Mordac, it wasn't meant to be a comedy/parody, but when read as such its quite funny.

    Can someone explain that one to me?

    [two minutes later]

    ...I actually read the first chapter, in an attempt to understand what the author meant in that summary ("surely, it can't be what I think it is?!")...and now I'm contemplating jumping out the window...

    Extract from the author's page:

    NO COMMENT.

    Oooh, I wonder what will happen! What I love in that summary is that it's not cliché at all. How refreshing.

    I can tell.

    Not that crappy, all in all... There's just one thing that made me choke: "Who really was the first trio?... It sure wasnt the marauders." Especially since the marauders weren't a trio in the first place...

    Also, I happened to find the name "Crispin Dracul" quite comical.

    ...huh?

    I saw this one a few weeks ago and still can't get it out of my mind. It's like an annoying song, so I thought I'd share :rolleyes:

    :eek: I accidentally hit the link to the first chapter:
    That's the whole prologue by the way...Hmm, no salmonella yet. Now I have to read the next chapter. Enjoy folks:
