    Yeah, but then post it in the summaries thread.


    Anyway, so I felt like some Harry/Blaise, and found something for the List-of-first-sentences-that-make-you-realise-the-story-will-fail: All the Difference in the World.

    Bzzz, try again, the next one please. And if you don't believe me, read it for yourself:


    Lord Voldemort rang the doorbell on the Potter house. As he waited, he mused over what had convinced the Potters to join him. Mainly, it was Lily because of her status as a muggle-born, but James had always been the rebellious type. Especially since Dumbledore had helped pass a law concerning the hunting of werewolves. He was shaken out of his musing as Lily opened the door.

    “Oh, hi Tom,” she said, “come in, come in.”

    [...]

    After taking a few deep breaths, Dumbledore blasted down the door. Immediately, footsteps sounded in the hallway and James appeared, wand out. As soon as he saw Dumbledore, he shouted “Lily, it’s Dumbledore. Get Harry, I’ll hold him off.”​


    You know, what occurred to me here: Swap the names 'Voldemort' and 'Dumbledore', and you've got both In-Character. But yeah, 's not like you never confused them, hmm? So there. Tiger-Lily.

    So the Potters joined the Dark Side? Or have Voldemort and Dumbledore switched roles?

    Change from the Norm » by lolgirl22 reviews Hermione is not a muggleborn. She is a descendant of Merlin, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw. OH MY GOSH! She is now turning seventeen and is about to have a "of-age bash," She then befriends... This is my first Fanfic, hope yall like it.Please r&r.Gracias

    joy!! This is overly fangirl-ish and Hermione is now renamed Mary Sue.

    My mistake...Chloé Marie Angel it is.

    Of course there is a castle, every Mary S..err Chloé Marie Angel needs a castle.
    Then the story goes into text messaging?

    Dear me. I wonder who this "Dray" could be. :rolleyes:

    Wait whats this? Since when did floo travel have a number?
    Oh! And meet
    Chloé Marie Angel:

    Shes a not so shallow Mary-Sue? Yeah right..
    The story goes from bad to worse and she typed our not 1 song, but 3 different songs, all the lyrics. And of course she meets the wonderful "Dray" and quickly falls for him. *Yawn*

    Stick with the default font and type around the text you want to quote or alternatively highlight it and press the speachbubble button to quote it. Makes it easier on the eyes and less glaring.

    What the fuck is so hard about leaving the font colors and face alone? They're default for a reason dumbfucks.

    Edit: Before anyone gets bent out of shape: The occasional color is fine (obviously, everyone does it), but why the fuck make your ENTIRE fucking post in some color that clashes horribly with the green background?

    Edit: You didn't edit it. It's still fucking purple.

    Here's what's inside:

    So the summary inside becomes "no summary this time." I'm particularly fond of "not tell you who the pairings are", when DM/HP, SB/GW, RL/HG and LM/SS are mentioned in the summary. Although the explanations for the Spanish title are cute as well... given that the definitive title is in English.

    Then we have...

    Woo. Wonder who that might apply to. I'd also like to shed a fond tear for the "I won't tell you what the hell might happen" in the summary.

    Anyone know where Surry is?

    "When one boy is getting the shit pummeled from him..." Now that's what I call classy writing.

    If only he could kick hard enough to make him sterile.

    *clears her throat*

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

    That will be all.


    EDIT to JWH:
    There's something endearing about the fact that she didn't even realise she was saying "the veil of destiny and destiny"... Poor Italy.

    Also: yay, snow!

    Tinn's fic is an :awesome find.

    Ir's full of wtf moments like

    We have Pussy!Harry and Molestor!Remus.
    And a fangirl who thinks using an online translator to write stupid shit in Spanish makes it look like cool shit. It made me laugh, though.

    Can you feel the potential for a crackfick at the turn of this sentence ? I was half expecting a humourous turn à la Dimension Hopping for Beginners.....
    But she's actually serious.

    I probably shouldn't have, but what I laughed the most at was the "my relatives burned all of my things. Even Hedwig." I hope they at least had the decency to not let a perfectly good roast go to waste.

    ...Damn. I actually mistook Italian for Spanish. (I'm actually supposed to have notions of Italian). The author not understanding that Destino and Destino are the same fucking word makes me fear for the future of humanity. And laugh.

    Snow was awesome the first week. It got old when university started again and I had to walk (and occasionally trip) on it ;)

    On Jojo's find :

    My, my, isn't that a very promising start ?

    ...Unfortunately, this is where the lulz ends. After that, it's just another cliché story : dull, but not bad enough to be entertaining, imho.


    Thankfully, one doesn't have to loo very hard to find proper Lulz-inducing literature.

    I present you with the lastest HP story from FFN's just in category :
    [url)http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4791920/1/A_New_Life_A_New_Destiny]A New Life a New Destiny[/url]
    A letter from his mother shows Harry the truth. Love turns to hate as Harry learns things he could never imagine. SLASH hp/dm A Voldemort is Harry’s dad fic. Some caractures may be OOC. R&R
    Thanks for the warning, girl.

    Here's some of the best parts :

    Of course, at midnight on his 16th birthday, he gets the trademark ZOMG!Revelations!Letter from his mother.

    Apparently the author isn't a member here, or she didn't read this post.
    Yup, that's Daddy Voldemort we're talking about here.


    Damn, didn't take him long to forget this Godfather he wanted to slit his wrist over earlier in the story.

    Imagine Voldemort's reaction to that, though...

    This is a crime against humanity. Crossovers between HP and Twilight had to appear eventually, but since this is the first time I actually see one my eyes bleed anyway.

    One Look Only » by Rieki reviews After having been expelled before his fifth year of Hogwarts, Harry has pushed himself to the breaking point, and Sirius has decided to take charge and give him a vacation to the one place he thinks no one will look for him; Forks.

    Might have been more entertaining if the author had jumped in front of the bandwagon.

    Oh, did I mention it's slash?

    Read it, you'll fall off your chair. The author notes are actually almost as long as the "story" itself.


    OMG stay away from chat language when writing a story ROFL OMG LOL
    and it's Hermione, some continuity please!

    I'd like to "ill" you, too. Care to tell me the incantation?


    Excerpt from the author notes:

    Congrats, you nailed it.


    Seriously, that is a must read. Apparently, idiocy has no boundaries.

    Nice catch, SophieRoss. I found this possible misspelling of Hermione's name to be particularly interesting:

    Was "Hermione" misspelled as "heroine?" There's really no way of knowing.

    I can hardly believe I'm reading this thread; my god, work must be boring... Oh, and I may have to scoop my eyes out with a hot spoon after reading just the SUMMARIES from these train-wreck stories.

    Here's a real winner. I'm grinning stupidly just thinking of how awful this must be. Before you start reading, be advised it's incomplete, so you may never know how this epic turns out.
