    I apologize. This one I posted a while back wasn't necessarily WTF. I had thought Heather was Hellen at first glance.

    That's okay, it's still mildly WTF. Blatantly Mary-Sue fics like that... plus self-insert... obviously.

    If one cannot bother to use real English in a summary, it never bodes well for the actual story.

    Not writing a summary because they are bad at it- if that logic continues, then doesn't that mean they should actually write the FanFiction in the first place?

    This one made me laugh- the exact things I place in my 'not to include' option all appeared. Take a guess at what they are?

    Lily had green eyes you fucking asshole. Get your facts straight about Lily. Ginny slut Weasley is nothing like the sweet innocent Lily.

    I fucking hate people who mess up about Lily and I want to use kitchenware torture on those who compare her to Ginny.

    Apparently, she'd been melting his heart a little too enthusiastically. Maybe that would teach her a lesson.

    Although I like Lily infinitely better than Ginny, I'm afraid that my formerly neutral opinion of redheads have taken a severe nosedive. Er, Fred and George excepted. I hate nearly all of the Weasleys. JKR scarred me forever.
    Is a Peter Pan syndrome sort of like, fear of aging?

    I'm too lazy (and uninterested) to look too deeply into it, but according to Wikipedia, Peter Pan Syndrome is a pop-psychology term used to describe an adult who is socially immature.

    Edit: Just figured I'd add an odd summary I found.

    What the hell. Seriously. Is that supposed to be a summary? A sentence? Something completely irrelevant to the story?

    The students find out that there is more to the new transfer students than meets the eye. Especially when they meet the other transfers. Crossover with DNAngel, D.Gray Man, Fruits Basket, Fullmetal Alchemist and Legend of Zelda. No need to know the anime.

    With that many crossovers, I don't think there's a need to know this fic period. Those anime don't mix well together anyway, let alone with HP.

    Fiction Rated: T - English - Romance - Chapters: 4 - Words: 8,644 - Reviews: 6 - Updated: 11-2-07 - Published: 10-26-07


    Allow me to translate the initials of the pairings: Lucius Malfoy/Ginny Weasley, Luna Lovegood/Severus Snape, Hermione Granger/Remus Lupin. Well... marriage law. Apparently meaning that teenagers must marry people more than double their ages despite the fact that there are other people in their year.

    ... Greek tragedy. A and G equals "Not Greek" and I am pretty sure that knitting patterns was not a topic of discuission between those two. Knitting patterns would be discussed by Hermione and Dobby, perhaps, but not those two. I will refrain from comment on the canon part.
