    At the end of the chapter, she asks a series of questions:

    Two guesses how the reviewers responded to the third question.

    I say you bombard her with worthwhile questions about the inconsistencies in her fic, and ask her to please develop the relationship slowly, highlighting the differences between their two characters and how their apparent age difference is effected by the real world.

    That, or make sure she makes his dick size Medium.

    Either one works.

    Or just not mention the size at all...

    Why the fuck do we need (or want) to know that shit?

    I feel the question needs to be asked - as no one else has - as to why you tormented yourself by reading the entire first chapter of a Snape/Hermione fic with a summary like that. Are you a masochist, or did you just scroll through the chapter?

    Apparently because 'Snape is sooooo sexy'.

    :facepalm

    :facepalm a thousand times.

    Heh. The summary made me suspect the story would be full of lulz.

    For shits and giggles, I clicked on that to see just how bad it would be. The premise isn't what made it bad, not when you consider that the fic appears to have been produced by a random-word-generator.

    What's there to find out about their love life? It's a classical softporn girls novel: A loves B, A is a vampire, A shags B, A literally eats out B's belly.

    This is why I plan on buying a time machine when they become available in the next 70 years, going back, and kicking the shit out of Stephanie Meyer, before stopping her from writing that piece of filth.

    Or just flame furiously :awesome

    Well, yes, you might join us. You just have to repost your last posting using proper capitalisation, etc.

    After lurking some time, I decided to make a productive review in the WbA... but I found that I lack the skill for it. So here I am, bringing a poor first post.

    Sadly, I was also lacking courage to actually read the damn fic.

    This is just horribly bad. If the writer can't be bothered to write a coherent sentence in the summary, I shudder at what the actual story looks like.

    Ah, yes. City name capital. Such a wonderful place, the name itself gives away its uniqueness.

    "I suck at summaries" usually means "I suck at writing."

    My head had been steadily retreating further and further from the screen without my notice as I scrolled through this thread. Worst summaries indeed.
