    -Snorts- What the hell was that!? Those reviews had better be flames...

    Yes, it is so typical.

    Tell me if that made sense.

    I'm curious about these. Do they really expect people to read their stories other than to make fun of them? By 6th grade I could easily tell if I sounded like a dipshit in a note or a book report I wrote, and I wasn't really exceptional or anything. I can't imagine writing like that unless I really tried, gave up, got smashed, and tried again.

    Are these just really small screwed up nine year olds or are they just seriously English challenged?

    I think that they are both grammatically and Englishly challenged.
    My friend writes like she just discovered pencils and paper.
    Honestly, it doesn't take that long to write a complete sentence.

    This is coming from someone who text messages in sentences, though.

    I've found that those aforementioned individuals actually think that their "stories" are good and that people do actually want to read them.

    Here's a few gems:

    Why does every fangirl feel the compulsion to give either Remus or Sirius a uterus?

    8. Sweet Merlin Get Away from Me » by greenikat89 reviews
    MWPP: James is a girl, Peter becomes the most wanted boy in Hogwarts, and the entire school thinks Remus is pregnant with Sirius’s baby, all in all it’s just another normal day of many for the Marauders.

    And the worst part is that being impregnated is considered normal by them.

    The idea of posting a Haiku as an actual story amused me, for some reason.

    It seems like it was obviously a joke, with the "Complete" and everything.

    Edit2: Despite the summary, "Wizards and Weed" amused me greatly. It seemed like such a crack-fic, but it actually was actually relatively well-written. Don't shoot the messenger.

    Edit3: It seems the author might actually be doing it as a joke.

    Hell, if we all flame the guy we can probably give him a better review/words ratio than anyone else on the planet! can anyone else claim three or four reviews for every WORD they've written?

    Temporarily leaving the lurker hole that RL threw me in, to post this gem:

    Oh, but wait. The summary is in the first chapter. And there's background info as well!

    WTF?
    I'll spare you the extended summary...

    Harry Potter & the sacrifice » by Midnight Slytherin reviewsOkay, the start might look a bit boring but it gets interesting, yup.I made it up. It's about Midnight Slytherin who friends up with Harry, Ron and Hermione, who must fight Voldemort and who ends up with Draco. You'll see for your self. . Interesting.
    Fiction Rated: T - English - Romance/Mystery - Chapters: 3 - Words: 2,923 - Reviews: 2 - Updated: 11-29-07 - Published: 11-27-07

    Oh it gets worse, He's the start.

    Harry Potter & the sacrifice

    Okay, the story is about this girl Midnight Slytherin who is grand-grand-grand-grand-e.t.c- daughter of Salazar Slytherin and Rowena Rawenclaw. All of the girl’s father side was in Slytherin, on her mother’s side, however were all from different houses and never in Slytherin. The story goes as Midnight is born and finds out that the generation of her father’s side predicted that one day, such dark wizard as Voldemort will be born and that a boy who they decided to store all the Slytherin’s powers for Voldemort to get one day (they did not know that that boy, appeared to actually be a girl, Midnight) will come to life, so they store all the Slytherin’s powers in her and that’s how our Midnight gets the unusual curly electric blue and black hair and a pretty birth mark of a pentacle on her arm (but no-one knows this, besides her family). Midnight is known to be the sacrifice among her family, the Death Eaters and naturally Voldemort. Her father and brother are known to be Death Eaters as well.
    But not her mother and nor was her sister who had died in the hands of Voldemort. Now she is to go to Hogwarts, to her 1st year, but must not forget the terrible future that awaits her, that’s where our story begins.
    (Must warn you people though, I only have the most important and interesting moments in here, sort of (if you read Harry Potter books) like a pension. I’m not saying that it’s not interesting, just want you to be warned.)
    Meaning- Royal Blood- the rarest blood race possible, the best you can wish for. Gives you special powers and extra ordinary talents, 7 Royal Bloods exist until one dies and another one’s born. All Royal Bloods have a special gift to sing.

    To Jump, or not to Jump by Queen-of-Sussness Sirius scares Remus when he threatens to jump...a very real threat since he's standing on the edge...can Remus bring him back before it's too late? RLSB, suicide themes.

    What a "lovely" piece of work...

    I think the whole Remus/Sirius romance is just defaulted to by slash writers. James is obviously a breeder, Peter is disgusting, and the other two were unaccounted for. Therefore they like to have sex with each other. And with Harry sometimes.

    Excerpt from said epic-

    This is probably off-topic, so I'll add in a few gems.
