    Hello. This is my humble contribution to this thread...

    The Insane Mind of One Firediva0
    By: Firediva0
    This is a book of Drabbles of anything and everything in the HP fandom. Here you'll be enraptured by emotions so pure and so ugly that it will leave a lasting impression on your heart. I don't expect you to read all of them, nor do I want you to. Browse through them and find ones that call to your soul. Full summary inside. Each one will have a specified pairing and target emotion.

    Mother Nature
    By: Mrs.Marauders
    Dark magic has cursed Hermione. With time running out, her only option is to have a child that could help save her life. The only way to survive is to conceive a magical child. She strikes a deal with Fred and George, who offer to help. Can the trio learn to separate their feelings long enough to save Hermione? Fred/Hermione/George fic, Rated M for smut.

    Oh, GOD. Why isn't this phase blowing over yet, how much longer. Granted I would never have read anything by that author anyway so it's not like they wasted their time for me, but still.

    Funniest part is that, whoever wrote this masterpiece, actually believes himself capable of writing a smart character.

    Summary: This story was inspired to me by a brainstorm genius idea I had in mind. Mind you this story takes place in another realm free of war full of peace.

    Additional Tags This story series contains large amounts of Hen some Yaoi a bit of Yuri a bit of HJ and BJ Oral anal some Hingering some Fisting and some use of Toys.

    It was a warm sunny day in the Village Hidden in the Leaves, the sun shined brightly like the golden aura of the Nine Tails vessel a calm cool breeze which eminated from the lush forest surrounding the village cut through the cerulean veil combined with the merry tune the birds were chirping while nestled in their lofty perches gave the village a feeling of cerene peace as the day marched onward like soldier in the field of battle.


    This author on AFF.net posted this as his story. I felt the need to post this fic in it's entire summary and the first chapter because when I reported it as: "not a story" the site admins told me that they were willing to keep it since the fic had at least one paragraph. So all in all a fic with a bad summary and story all in one.

    Wow. You know, that sounds like an absolutely terrible story, but I gotta admit that the summary makes me wanna open it up and read it just to witness the awful first-hand. So, the summary's successful, but probably not in the manner the author intended.

    So, does anyone else feel really embarrassed when they come across self insert fantasies that obvious. I mean, it's like meeting a total stranger and the first thing out of their mouth is a lurid description of just what they were thinking the last time they masturbated.

    The Art of Hidden Pesona By: whitedwarf

    Summary in description is ok but when you turn to chapter 1 you have a new one:

    Summary: An unwanted mistake, Harry grows up relying on only himself until his adoption by a magical widow who recognises his parentage for what it really is. Taught the manners, politics and manipulations of high pure-blooded wizarding circles Harry learns to mask and hone his darkness and intelligence swiftly. Deciding to attend Hogwarts Harry chooses to keep a low profile, wishing to escape notice and instead learn and observe those around him. But with the resurrection of Lord Voldemort and his half brothers involvement in his sixth year everything is about to change. As Voldemort begins to spread his influence across Europe Harry's carefully cultivated persona in Britain will begin to unravel as past secrets are found out, Dumbledore becomes interested, tempers flare and Harry's true self it allowed free reign as the only way of surviving the threatening politics of both sides of the war. Only able to rely on himself Harry must dance with the dangerously handsome Dark Lord and the Lord of the Light while dealing with the unfolding secrets of a past and family better left forgotten.

    And it might be ok also, but it's quite long and talks about things not yet written. This took a lot of surprise element when I was reading it first time.
    But don't be mistaken it's a really good story, one of my favourites in fact.

    Don't worry in this fic Harry keeps Dumbles at very large distance. And whitedwarf is a really skilled author and you don't see all these fancy titles flying around every page. I'm not even sure if this particular title is used besides the summary. Give it a try.

    The fandom is dark and full of terrors.

    But agreed on the Canon Sue BS. It's like the main characters aren't perfect enough already and need to be either completely worshipped or otherwise trashed by "obviously evil" characters to make them look better.


    If you're talking about this story, I seriously hope you're being sarcastic in this 'horrible summaries' thread. I couldn't get past even the first chapter.
    How the hell did it even get...5000+ reviews, 6000+ favorites and follows? That's just insane.

    And before you tell me "it gets better" - I skimmed the later chapters, too. Even at a glance - I sampled about twenty random paragraphs from ten chapters - in every single one of them, the author didn't use apostrophes or commas properly in at least one sentence. The writing is horribly stilted, the sentence structure is terrible, and the pacing and flow is like watching an epileptic underneath a disco light.
    I don't know what the plot is like, but given the painfully awkward first chapter, I don't want to know. I gave it a try. Nope.

    The Art of Hidden Personas is decent story. I read it and it managed to keep my interest to the end. There is a lot of action and characters act accordingly to their own agenda. It certainly isn't boring. Summary can be bad, English butchered (or whatever - I'm afraid my own isn't good enough to recognize things like that) and story have a few flaws, but... Well, it isn't horrible.


    The Light and the Dark by Cherry11tree
    Hermione begins her first day of Auror training only to discover her fellow trainee is Draco Malfoy. Draco Malfoy is searching for himself by doing that which is least expected of him: becoming an Auror. As secrets unfold and trust develops, will the two enemies turn their hatred into passion?

    Whoever invented this should burn in the fire of a thousand suns. It's not clever nor funny. At all.

    And I'd rather avoid reading fics about the dangerously handsome Dark Lord's fight against the Lord of Light, who must be some shitty OC...whose name is Dumbles.
