    What. The. Fuck?! Is it even fucking possible to crossover with a retarded kids game about dragons?


    One of the reviews:
    Couldn't agree more!

    I'm not gonna try it, but someone has to.

    EDIT: I read it. I think I'm going to kill my self now. That is the utter worst thing ever.

    Read at your own peril:

    Ginny accepted the offer and after breakfast Susie and Lucy reluctantly took her to Captain Blubberbutt’s office. Lucy and Susie hates going down to his office for obvious reasons. His office had a twin size bed, the walls were white, in the corner had some sophisticated computers, and at the desk was Captain Blubberbutt, “So you want to be a star warrior eh? It takes courage! It takes skill! Do you have what it takes to be a star warrior?” Captain Blubberbutt took out a contract.
    “I think so,” Ginny said.
    “That’s not good enough! Do you have what it takes to be a star warrior?”

    The utter stupidity of the stories that are being written astounds me.

    The Bet by DellofFaith

    The bet was simple. Get Harry Potter to sleep with him and Draco would get Blaise's coveted porsche boxster in return. It was simple. Too bad Harry was celibate. Mpreg Warning.

    I couldn't resist posting this, it was both 'lol' worthy, and cringe-worthy.

    Apparently FF.net now doubles as a smut database, if this summary is any indication.

    Edit: Found another.

    Doesn't help they're by the same author. --;

    A Way Out by somethingwithatail reviews
    Hermione runs away from home to stay with the Weasley's for the summer before her 6th year. Mischief and romance ensues... too many romances! HrAlmostEveryone Written as if HBP had never come out.
    Fiction Rated: T - English - Romance/General - Chapters: 2 - Words: 7,296 - Reviews: 3 - Updated: 2-19-07 - Published: 7-12-06

    AlmostEveryone is my favorite character by far.

    Stepdaddy's the Devil by aussie girl1990 reviews
    Hermione's parents brokeup and a new man is in her mothers life. everyone thinks their stepfather is the devil but is her soontostepdad really Tom Riddle? or Tom yields like he says? why had she woken up in Hogwarts? or is she just dreaming? confusing.
    Fiction Rated: T - English - Romance/Mystery - Chapters: 5 - Words: 3,250 - Reviews: 14 - Updated: 2-19-07 - Published: 1-5-07

    The last word pretty much summarizes my thoughts on the matter, if nothing else.

    Why Can't I? by MaDaMe.TiNkErBeLL reviews
    Song fic. Post Hogwarts. Draco and Hermione meet on the street one day and Hermione can't explain it but she can't get Draco off her mind. Can be explained by Liz Phair's Why Can't I? READ AND REVIEW fluffy
    Complete - Fiction Rated: K+ - English - Romance - Chapters: 6 - Words: 9,476 - Reviews: 1 - Updated: 2-19-07 - Published: 11-11-06

    I don't know what attracted me to this story... was it because MaDaMe.TiNkErBeLL wrote it or because it was inspired by a Liz Phair song? Regardless, I know Hermione and Draco belong together because they met on the street one day. Quite the romance, I say.

    And the winner:

    HPDM Drabble Competition: Round Four by Catchy Turn
    Prompt: Underneath the bleachers. Quidditch can be a dangerous sport...
    Complete - Fiction Rated: K - English - General - Chapters: 1 - Words: 133 - Reviews: 0 - Updated: 2-19-07 - Published: 2-19-07

    The entire story:

    The grass swung dangerously back and forth and he dug his fingers into the blades so he wouldn’t slide off. Chest heaving shallowly, he struggled to draw breath, trying not to focus on the numbness spreading through his battered limbs.

    Only an idiot would be thrown from his broom, break through the stands, and end up underneath the bleachers. It was terribly reprehensible.

    “Malfoy!” The shout was vague, but unmistakable. Naturally he’d be the first to get there. Green eyes peered into his and a cool hand was set on flushed skin.

    Perhaps he didn’t want to die after all.

    ---

    What's the worst part about this? That there are 3 more? That the author goes on to tell how it was TORTURE cutting it down from 170 words to 100 words? Or the simple fact that it was HarryDraco drabble? Oh God I hope this person won an award.




    You have to love Harry Potter fanfiction. The only place that these people can express themselves properly outside of their padded walls.

    I think that if, when I had first discovered fanfiction, I had seen these in the summaries I would have just stopped reading fanfiction altogether on the spot, checked myself into one of those cozy padded rooms, and waited out Armageddon.

    Looking after a Muggle animal should be easy compared to saving Hogwarts from Voldemort. Harry and a blind Draco might disagree with that. Featuring Luna, Marauders, peppermints and, of course, a tall, black, badtempered horse named Simon.

    All atleast 100,000 words. They are the first things you see when you turn on the filter to M and 100,000. But on the bright side, there is a harry patil twins triangle under those.

    I only offer you a link.

    I know you'll click it.

    The worst thing: there are more than 1400 fics or 19 pages with similar summaries. But even that's "only" 0.5% of all 290,000 HP stories at ff.net.

    EDIT: Any favorites?

    Who Said Children Are The Future? by x-GlitterPop-x reviews

    Lemo, Andy and Cheesy are starting their first year at school, but nobody believes in them. Let's just say, they aren't the brightest of students there.. they'd rather be tormenting animals, or digging holes to Japan... ZOMG I HAVE A PLOT FOR THE STORY!

    Lemo, Andy and Cheesy? I....just...wow. At least it's humor, but if were anything else, it would belong here, plus it doesn't sound funny to me, so maybe it belongs here anyway.


    "they'd rather be tormenting animals, or digging holes to Japan... ZOMG I HAVE A PLOT FOR THE STORY!"

    I'm hard pressed to find any other reason other than Hogwarts why this is at all related to Harry Potter, hell, they don't even say Hogwarts. There are no words for the last part of his summary...
