    If you went and clicked on the story because of curiosity, then successful lure was successful.

    Ever think that maybe you're way too emotionally invested in a piece of fiction?

    ROFL I remember having that idea on IRC one night--Sweeney Todd. I didn't think it was a very good idea, but it was my idea. Methinks the spynetwork is growing larger.

    I LOVE Sweeney Todd. And to see it butchered like this hurts me very deeply. But the Sweeney Todd fanfiction they have in the Movies section is even worse.

    Not sure if this counts, but the bold caught my eyes - and then made me want to tear them out.

    The author has a broad vocabulary, conveying at least the illusion of a good writing style. The thing is, the story up to the point I read, chapter three or something, is the standard Independent!Harry plotline. Knockturn Alley, a manic shopping spree culminating in Harry obtaining an exotic snake (naturally), and mage-sight.

    When I say something is cliched I almost always mean it as an exaggeration to paint the story in the worst possible light.

    But this author is something else, pursuing cliches months, if not years after they have fallen out of favor. I'm awed - the author must have carefully researched cliches so that he could use them to the last degree of unoriginality.

    Pre-Slash? How many variations do people want lol.

    I do so believe that this one is a cross between a worst summary and a WTF just based upon the title and summary...

    Cedrick Diggoire da boi who ddint leave » by hurrypizzlefalif reviews Dis is a story bout Cedrick Diggoire bafo he died. Set in bolet of fire. Rated M fo possible ova sings n drugs I don own Harry potta but if i did i wuld feed dem puddinFiction Rated: M - English - Drama/Romance - Chapters: 2 - Words: 1,046 - Reviews: 2 - Updated: 12-10-08 - Published: 12-9-08

    This isn't bad so much as... generic. Isn't this the same summary that most wrong-boy-who-lived stories have?

    Come on, such a lack of imagination in the title is a crime against fanfiction. I have to believe that the writer has a low self-esteem to not even make up a name for his story.

    I found this and somehow it disturbed me. Don't know why as there are similarly odd crosses out there but this just... who comes up this this. (Answer: A Very Pissed off Teenager, apparently. :confused: seriously have they no pride in a name?)

    harry is simon by A Very Pissed off Teenager (And yes, not capitalized.)
    Summary: Alvin and the chipmunks at 3 harry was abandoned. seeing a chipmunk family he morphed into one. He is Simon and he has two brother Alvin and Theodore.
    -
    That has always been my my first inclination when seeing a chipmunk family.
