Here's one I found:

Unless upside-sown is something I'm unaware of, even his username is spelt incorrectly. Or maybe it's one of ones which are so clever that it's not for the common people to understand.

 

This had me in tears. I'm not sure what to think of the fact my fic was added to a Community that also contained this.

 

I'll be honest with you, I skimmed the summary once it turned into the cat stuff so I thought it read like this:

"During the Final Battle Voldemort is turned into a kitten and Harry takes him home thinking he is homeless. Will Harry figure out who it is? WARNING: male/male relationships, one spanking, good looking Tom Riddle as the Dark Lord, DarkHarry, demons, and lots of funny kitten ADHD goodness."

Like, just the one spanking was all that was going to happen. By the way, who spanks kittens?! Monster.

 

This is everything that's wrong with HP fanfiction, doubled. Fuck me running. >.>

 

Here's one of the reviews:

Most surprised by the fact that this fic has 755 reviews in the first place.

 

Aren't 90% of ffnet reviews along the lines of 'love the story, plz update soon'?

 

From what I've seen, yes.

 

Surely it's not that bad. I'll read it and might get back to you in almost rec'd.

 

Considering none of the "I's" are capitalized, I'll just take your word for it.

 

Pedantic and useless post is pedantic and useless.

It still sounds like shit, though.

 

"Regular updates"

"Updated: Nov 27, 2013 - Published: Jul 19, 2013"

 

To be fair, 28 chapters in that time frame would be fast updates.

 

One hand, the author seems to have a good grasp of English grammar and spelling. On the other hand, I see nothing that would ever make me want to read this story.

 

At first I went through all the female Slytherins and thought, "OK not bad."

Then I saw the Characters.

 

Best plan ever.

 

Reading through this thread actually shocked me. I did expect some lulz, but this isn't lulzy anymore. It's painful.

 

Harry Potter and the Founder's Prophecy
By: Great Marauder1
**Not a Story Update. Just a Note** COMPLETED! Follow Harry Potter through sixth and seventh years, filled with Romance, Adventure, Prophesy and some Order!!! I am bad at beginnings, but it does get better..... - h/hr - My first fic.
Rated: Fiction T - English - Romance/Adventure - Harry P., Hermione G. - Chapters: 17 - Words: 57,550 - Reviews: 189 - Favs: 214 - Follows: 51 - Updated: Apr 20, 2003 - Published: Mar 26, 2003 - Status: Complete

The worst part about this one is that it happily passed through quite elaborate filters and still have all signs of being terrible. As bonus, this story seems to NOT be complete, as last line of the last chapter is "A/N: Please read the next chapter!!".

 

That frustrates me when a story is marked as complete yet is abandoned. If you are going to abandon a story, a note in the summary would be nice.
