    Guys, guys. While the slash and the butt-sex summaries always manage to get a smile out of me, they lack the originality. It's the same again and again and again. Maybe we should just stick to mocking moronic summaries rather than venture into the mind scarring butt-sex territory.

    Although I actually agree with you, given the fact that you just posted a slash summary on the previous page (one that wasn't very shocking by the way), how 'bout you shut the fuck up? :awesome

    Yeah Khaan. I posted a slash summary. But I am getting tired of going into those slash pits to find a comical summary and bored of posting same summary with different characters again and again. So, yeah that's why I proposed for the change.

    Honestly, I'm not seeing what's wrong with this summary. It's legible, explains the concept clearly while also establishing the character of the story's intent and quality. It also uses proper English and doesn't abuse the 'What if...' conceit of many lame summaries.

    You definitely know what it's about and whether you'd want to read it, right?

    Yeah, you do have a point. I just put it up for the sheer weirdness of the story description.

    A pretty good chunk of the things posted here are decent summaries of terrible stories. I don't really see anything wrong with that.

    No, it's a legit worst summary. Doesn't need to have terrible grammar for it to suck.

    Like the author bought too much into the liberal transgender stuff going on nowadays, but thinks it's cool enough to be of literary interest. You can tell from the exclamation point. The author's belief in the terrible idea itself is revealed in the summary, thus making it bad.

    Also, uh. Is it just me, or did they create an entirely new term for an ability that's already canon?

    You want to know why? The depraved individuals who would write such ghastly crossovers want nothing more than to see the world burn.

    That's why.

    And yes, the story is just as good as the summary promises.

    It's the fact that the author has absolutely no idea about what they're writing about that gets me about this one. There are three maybes in that summary..
