    I don't even want to guess what the author might have meant...

    Edit: See what you made me do...I read the chapter to try and figure out what this might mean and not only am I still clueless but now my few remaining brain cells are committing mass suicide. Agh!

    This one is from Ms Spider's Harry Potter and the Runespoor Shield on FF.net
    Harry is still angry but this year he has a person to blame. A secret trunk, a kitten with a secret and an secret potion. Complete!

    Sorry that was the only one I could think of off the top of my head.

    The fic itself isn't that bad if you can get into the angsty mushyness that shines through at times. Ive tried reading it a couple of times, but end up stopping after the first 3rd or so.

    Let's just say that mixing the words 'butt' and 'PMS' in the same sentence makes for very unpleasant mental images.

    *gigglesnort*
    And I found this one when I was using the charactr search for Luna. Let's just say I don't really want to open it.

    I never knew you could fit so many clichés into such a small space.

    Oh good Lord. This gives a bad name to H/L.

    "Hermione is plump and boring until Harry leaves her for a blonde bimbo. in a desperate bid to get him back, she transforms herself completely. but what happens when the plan backfires and she starts falling for the hogwarts bad guy?"

    "Chubby, short Lily and James were best friends. They signed a contract to never love one another. Years later, Lily came back beautiful and fell for another. At the same time, James fell for her but the contract said no.."

    "What if McGonagall wasn't really McGonagall? What if she were someone else entirely? This is set after 'The Order of the Phoenix' though change is likely."

    "To over come the Future, Harry must do some thing. He doesn't know what, But his Dreams do. will become a Supper!harry, Independent!harry and a whole bunch more, just want to see who likes this start"

    "HarryGinny A walk around the grounds after the kiss in the common room. Just some quick fluff."

    "Harry Potter turns seventeen at Midnight. Voldemort has plans for this night. Harry learns about a sister, get's a girlfriend, looks for the reamining Horcuxes though he's still in school, and finds out he has a muggle illness. Read to find out."

    I wonder how long you'd last on the "streets of Detroit" writing fanfiction about raping little anime boys in chalk on the sidewalk?

    Just another depressing summary

    Its actualy a not bad fic, if you like McGonagall.

    Not a bad fic, when it was written those weren't cliches. Abandoned now I believe.

    EDIT: W00T I found out what it means to "harsh ones mellow", it means to change the mood, from mellow to angry or a similar change. lol, I would never have guessed it but it does actually make sense.

    Now I posted that thing here, I'm off to hunt the author down and hang them. Preferably after chopping their hands and forcing their keyboard down their throat.

  13. I just spotted this one and immediately thought of this thread.

    "hi i m back just a few notices with this storie is 1 sirius did not die and 2 it is set in anime 3 i accept flams Harry oc st in 7th year romance attempted hummor and action"

    I'm very surprised the person spelled attempted correctly when he/she can't even manage to spell simple words like story and flames.

    This one is pretty disturbing...

    Boys by Bob Rhynoplasty
    Oliver was gay. That was pretty much a given. He realized it when he joined the Quidditch team. So many attractive boys showering around him...it was heaven for the young Scotsman.

    EDIT:

    Here's another. Now, this one just freaks me out...

    The Devil Makes Work For Idle Thumbs by sbrianson
    Whlst on the run in America, an encounter with a trucker teaches Sirius two things: desperate times call for desperate measuresand he'll do anything just to get home... Slash.

    How about when you post the summary you post the name of the fic too.
