    I think I sprained my jaw when I saw the DumbGrin story. Knitting patterns. Yay.

    Aussi rouge que le feu et la passion by DracoGingin reviews
    Draco was completely dumbstruck by the woman in front of him. Ginny Weasley, the girl he had never even looked at as anything but a small child, was there, loving him like a concubine from a sultan’s harem... DG One shot

    oooo a half naked Draco thinking... Do you think he's doing the classic 'Thinker' pose? Wait I thought his Daddy did his thinking for him.

    The second is obviously a pedo-Draco. Thats why he's turned on by a Ginny "he looked at as a small child".

    I found the "loving him like a concubine from a sultan’s harem" funnier than the pedo reference actually. Just for the... unique... simile.

    Goblet of Fire my way » by BloodyVampyre
    “That girl,” Hermione started pointing at a brunette that had been one of the first to step out of the carriage, “is my only cousin, on my mother’s side. She also happens to be American so I have no idea why she would be here.”

    Neither do I actually. Why is she there? Is it perchance... to give Hermione a GASP makeover!?


    Love Changes People » by violet.warrior reviews
    After a fight with Ron and a breakup with her boyfriend, Ginny curls up in a tree to cry and ends up falling asleep. Who should find her and carry her back but Draco? Rating might go up in light of later chapters
    Fiction Rated: T - English - Romance/General - Chapters: 3 - Words: 4,196 - Reviews: 9 - Updated: 11-4-07 - Published: 10-14-07


    Draco who then procedes to drop her in the freezing lake and watch in interest as she flails about and then, in her desperation for both a relationship and some warming up, she engages in an act of bonding with the Giant Squid, who also has this problem. Because Draco is so into watching this sort of thing.

    This is my story telling moment for the hour. Later!

    [The Mistake of Benevolence » by Ashes Falling reviews
    Danielle Kensith, a redhaired greeneyed Slytherin girl, wonders why her own Head of House seems to despise the very core of her. And why does he always stare at her like that? DH COMPLIANT! This is my first fanfic. Constructive criticism & reviews please

    He despises the very core of her because the very core of her is very much a mary-sue who should have been drowned. He stares at her like that because he would very much like to be the one to drown her.

    Metanoia » by Mandy.S.Lupin reviews
    An exchange student from Japan enters Hogwarts in the Marauder's sixth year. And, contrary to first impressions, Celina Hamilton may have more in common with those troublemakers than she thinks.
    Fiction Rated: K+ - English - Romance/Drama - Chapters: 9 - Words: 30,922 - Reviews: 4 - Updated: 11-4-07 - Published: 9-12-07


    "Celina Hamilton" doesn't sound Japanese... do you think it sounds Japanese? I don't think it sounds Japanese. I should give her a Japanese name... how does... Bakabaka Baka sound? Because the only thing she has in common with the Marauders is that they all don't have Japanese names.

    I think we should all play a game. We should all try to see how many pages of FFN HP fanfics we will have to skip before coming across a fic whose summary looks decent enough to warrant us checking it out.

    Score = -(negative) X, where X is the number of pages you've skipped before coming across a page containing a fic whose summary hooks your interest. As a bonus, add another negative point for every fic whose summary makes you cringe/puke/feel like banging your head on the wall/feel like bitchslapping the author.

    Settings standardized at 25 fics per page.

    Anyone up for it?

    Beer and Barbies by BabyStretch reviewsAU. Sixyearold Harry's hectic life. Lily and James are alive, Lucius Malfoy is a beerdrinking maniac and Voldemort likes pink. Could it BE any more random?

    Could it be worse?

    Harry Potter and the Acceptance of Fate » reviews
    Post-OotP-Ch57: Harry is calculating and exerts self-restraint, Moody visits, Harry gets some history on Voldemort's timing, Neville cheers up Harry just a bit, another sabbat is upon us and Snape pokes Harry, Harry gets a wild idea.

    Words fail me, as they did the author. Snape poking Harry, who then gets a wild idea? It isn't actually all that bad, but it's like a long list rather than an actual summary.

    ... I don't want to know.

    And here is my contribution:


    The Forgotten Marauders » by Moony the Wolf reviews
    The Marauders, Tammy, Laria, and Lily have to face the aftermath of the gruesome Truth or Dare game they took part in. What could possibly happen? Sequel to Truth or Dare, anyone? Also, I know some of the chapters are short but most of them are long.

    Well, maybe the reason very little is known about her is because she wasn't a Marauder. And who can't even check if the word limit ran out?

    Aside from the fact that the title bears no relation to the summary, who the hell monologues like that?
