    Oh I hope you're all ready for some faill....

    Ahh! Of course!!! This is the ultimate protection! Not Lily's love, but rather Snape's! Voldemort will never touch him


    On another note,
    .... why even read the story with great summaries like that, amirite?!

    Ah, I should not have given into my curiosity. There's so much wrong with those 219 words that I don't know where to begin. But at least it wasn't graphic.

    (It feels cheap, to me, searching Harry/Draco and Harry/Snape for worst summaries. They're a dime a dozen.)

    which is exactly why both stories appeared within 12 fics of each other in a Harry All Characters search. Scary how much garbage clutters ff.net....

    Harry has a new T-shirt? OMG! Is it 100% cotton or a cotton/synthetic blend? Is it pre-shrunk? A ringer tee? Does it have a graphic on it?

    If so, is it timeline appropriate, or another anachronism introduced by an ignorant writer (hurr, Harry with a Coldplay shirt in 1991)?

    This summary hooks you, then demands that you read the story to quench your piqued interest. Now I've gotta read it.

    Or not.

    Clearly the mystery is worth more than the answer in this case, damn you.

    The next mystery is if Snape's last line is missing a comma, or if it really is a claim as to how well he can perform this act.

    Again, I don't actually want to know. :p

    This actually made me laugh out loud. That doesn't happen all that often.

    Is it a Snape romance with a telletubie? Because if it is... I really have no idea what to say about that.

    That has to be a troll. Has to be.

    Please?

    But I agree that the story is a tragedy. Undeniable tragedy.

    I think I found a slash-free fandom...


    While this seems to be awesome in itself, it doesn't mean the fics are readable:

    ROFL, that summary was hilarious, and yet so painful to read I think I nearly cried.

    To quote Python: "My God, this is terrible, will somebody please stop it!"

    I... I can't even make sense of it. Usually you can. But I can only get to "new parents but" and then I'm lost.

    Grelet...really? Anyways, I figure the summary is talking about how the vampire twins Hansel and Gretel getting flashbacks from their past. Wrind, however, boggled my mind.

    Wrind is probably a new word that AM THE LAST FRIKEN BOSS invented. Because he is THE LAST FRIKEN BOSS.

    I think "wrind" is supposed to mean "weird."
