    Dark Minion found why I thought that story will be horrible.
    The plot in the summery, and how many times we will see it once again in the future.

    At what length do you make the cut? I imagine if you pick to high a number you filter out a great many stories with potential that only have a chapter or so...

    I set it to 5000. Out of 10.500 pages with HP-fics only 2.800 pages are displayed.

    I might miss a few oneshots and all stories which are abandoned before they reach the line but so I don't have to deal with the worst crap, which usually is abandoned within the first three to four 900words chapters.

    I think the stupidest summeries always include the following formula.

    X does something arbitrary, Y obliges. (Commonly found in M/M Slash)

    I seriously want to rip the author's skull out and beat them to death with it.

    But hey, that's me.

    I filter by at least 10,000 if I'm looking for potential fics (I'm in a nice mood) and 40,000 if I just want to read. I don't know how you can stand wading through all the shit summaries.

    Before DLP, I never read the first chapter of a story when that was all their was. I'm one of those kinds of people who wait until at least chapter seven or so before I start reading. Usually tells me if the author is serious about his fic or not and also gives me an idea of how crappy his story is. That way, I wad through almost all of the crap and have at least an hour of reading to do. It's nice.

    The very idea that the Ministry is forcing everyone to find their soul mates is repulsive.

    That list of slash pairings gave me a mental image of all those characters' looks of horror upon finding out that they were destined to be with people of their own gender. I mean come on, I've nothing against homosexuality, but the entire magical populace of Britain?

    Considering how Bass Ackwards the whole wizarding world seems to be...

    I still maintain we need someone to write a Dimension jumper harry who ends up in a world where all the other wizards are gay and he decides its his 'duty as a true warrior of the light' to help renew the gene pool with the witches.

    And naturally both sides cheer him on. the guys for saving them from doing it, and the girls cause all that quiddich obviously turned him into a 6'10" sex god with rippling abs, flashing eyes, and 'trademark messy potter hair' :rolleyes:

    in a completely unrelated note will everyone who thinks this plot would make a great premise for a serious fic instead of a comedy please tell us.

    so we can begin the relentless ridicule hehehe

    Don't forget about his trademark lopsided grin and those deep, inviting pools of emerald into which one could easily lose herself/himself.

    Falling from Grace » by dinkyfairybaby reviews
    Self Harm, Rape, and sexual content sorry if your offended but dont read, im not making you. DMHG storyline being developed... Twins Blaise Zambini and Mya Zambini but where does Hermione fit in?
    Harry Potter - Fiction Rated: M - English - Romance/Tragedy - Chapters: 34 - Words: 67,263 - Reviews: 220 - Updated: 8-26-07 - Published: 2-12-05​
    67k words and storyline being developed still? That's a hell of a lot of filler.

    Edit: Epic lulz at the latest review on that.

    Draco's such a meanie =(
