I was searching for good crossovers, when I came across this:

It was just so unexpected that it really, really hurt.
With a summary this bad, I fail to see how the story could be anything but completely butchered; I couldn't bring myself to read any of it.

 

Some of these summaries are good for the lulz, but others are so very bad that it isn't even funny.

 

True... but it was so awful, I had to share the pain with someone else.

Ugh, shouldn't be allowed.

 

I read the first chapter. I don't know that it's worse than the summary, but it's definitely on par with it.

 

So, I was browsing through a ff.net community, looking for fics with decent portrayals of Harry's life at other magic schools, when I came across this piece of crap: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1893367/1/Harry_Potter_and_the_School_of_Elementals

Summary: After a strange dream, Harry's home is attacked by Death Eaters, but during the attack Harry disappears. AU for fifth year. FROM CHAPTERS FOUR AND UP BEEN GRAMMAR CHECK BY Ryan Potts P. hD. FINNISHED

Didn't read it. The all caps section seems to be how the author actually writes when there isn't someone to meticulously check their work.

Edit: Holy shit. I just read some of the other summaries and this one doesn't even come close...

Words fail me.

 

Seriously I don't understand what's wrong with this author. I imagine that the 'half-Swedish, half-Japanese, permanently 25-year-old, 5ft 8in bisexual gymnast' is Hermione.

EDIT:Thank GOD! He/she is not a Ginny fan.

 

No, she's a Harmonian, and that makes it all the worse. I tried reading the prologue and it almost sent me straight back to bed: people who write like she does make me physically ill.

About a new school year and how torrible stars upRated: T - English - Romance/Drama - Chapters: 4 - Words: 1,090 - Updated: 7-15-10 - Published: 7-14-10 - OC & Harry P.

Analysis: This summary raises several questions, the most prominent being what precisely 'torrible' means. Is 'torrible' an OC? If so, how does 'torrible star up'? Or is 'torrible' a typo for another word, such as 'terrible', or 'horrible', or 'trouble'. We'll probably never know, unless someone reads the story. Which I won't.

Finally, what did the author intend with 'stars up'? Did whatever 'torrible' is get a boost, a la Super Mario? Or is this another typo for 'starts up'?

Conclusion: This summary blows serious aardvark balls. The story probably does too.

Heh, I actually read this story at some point long long ago.

 

That actually sounded relatively decent until I saw the pairing...

 

That story is actually decent for a Slash story

 

Wait... that Playstation game with the little purple dragon?

I loved that game!

 

I honestly can't tell if you're being serious or not. *shrugs*
Anyway, it's this.

I get the feeling it wasn't serious...

 

I figured that, but you never know when it comes to the internet.
That's what the shrug was for.

 

Lol. I've never played Final Fantasy.

Was thinking of Spyro.

Now I'm all disappointed. Spyro/HP crossover sounds epic.

 

Woah. Apparently it was serious...

And for the record, I haven't played FF either.

 

Spyro is Serious Business.
