    I'm sorry, this monstrosity had to be shared.

    This is taken from the summary of the first 3 "books" (and I use books very lightly) of "Holly Evans and the Spiral Path." Oh did I mention their 13. I wish I had orgasm's of transcendent power.

    Edit: It's also written entirely in the form of letters to the real Harry Potter (Yeah, I'm still trying to understand that).

    Loooooooooool. That story's already been put through For Review and rejected. The author's a member here, and if there's one thing I can say about him, it's that he has pretty good taste in tits.

    Why thank you! I'd say it's an appreciation for the female form that fuels my deranged nightmare of a story to begin with.

    [Just to be clear- Holly and Hermione were both 14 before they kissed or played with Florean Fortescue's magical version of Ecstasy-in-ice-cream]

    For reference: the Reviews

    Question: Why are 'they' arrested if Holly was the one who used the Unforgivable? Or is that just a misconception of the phrasing?

    Just Holly was arrested.

    lol, I actually read a lot of that story..

    I'm not sure, it wasn't awesomely bad - it wasn't even "bad", just not to my taste. I was bored and the story was long and well.. there. I think it the story wasn't in letter format I would've been more entertained. Even so, the later chapters amused me, not that it takes a lot.

    I found a story that had a female Harry - they named her Bella. Not for any good reason, she just loooovveed twilight. Ugh. Even my boredom and sleep deprivation couldn't get me to overcome that.

    I am browsing through older parts of FF.net right now and just found this classic gem.


    the revelations part 1 reviews
    would ron finally tell harry and hermione his big secret? and would the two accept the fact that ron is a ...!
    Harry Potter - Rated: K - English - Chapters: 1 - Words: 904 - Reviews: 1 - Published: 2-26-06


    On her mouth? Hmmmm... I wonder if that was some kind of fashion, back in 2006.

    What?

    Oh... sorry.

    Notice the distinctive grammatical structure of question and answer. For all our German reading friends there is an almost similar construction used in the Ruhr district: "Wem is dat Moped?" - "Ich"

    Ok - let's head back. The story has Ron reveal something about himself. Of course he hesitates not to endanger his friendship.

    Ron still doesn't want to spill it, so Harry starts to blackmail him:

    Now we reach the first climax of this one shot...

    "well, i….. i…..i…. I got to go to the bathroom!" he said and he stand to his feet and run away hermione and harry by themselves.

    Of course Harry and Hermione don't take it well...

    Oh well - apparently they don't care.
    However, the story suddenly takes a turn...

    Not to interrupt the flow of the now increasingly thrilling plot any further I'll post the rest of this fic:

    Now who is it? Sirius Black? Voldemort? George Dubya Bush?

    ( to be continued.)

    More than a four year cliffhanger!

    I hate when good things get canceled in their prime. Such a shame this epic wasn't finished.

    @ Aziraphale. Wow. I can't even muster something sarcastic to say towards that second part. It's just... awesomely bad.

    Now if only you'd bothered to check his author profile you would feast your eyes upon...

    http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2828062/1/the_revelations_part_2

    Dun dun dun! The epic sequel that sadly ends in an unresolved cliff hanger.

    The genius of the story is I can't tell if it's meant to end up as slash or something else entirely.

    I doubt it is meant to end up in anything at all.

    Summary: Its not the way things happened. A American muggle born just could not attened Hogwarts. Exspeacilly one name Metallica McLeoud, a tough, rough talking, fighter girl who needs no one. New faces, old faces, Metallica's Tales have got it all...and then some

    I debated putting this in the Worst Summaries thread, but naming a character after a heavy metal band is just too awful.

    So here's an awesomely bad story opening, and a lesson on How Do To Everything Wrong In Writing A Relationship in 9 easy sentences:


    And then we have this.

    And you stare, and stare, and stare.

    You could as easily change Harry to Arthur and Daphne to Molly.

    And while you may not find this as disturbingly bad as some of the other stuff here, I couldn't help but writhe in horrified glee when I read this anti-gem. Perhaps I've kept myself in company of well-written fics for too long...

    Some excerpts:

    :awesome

    Couldn't you just have solved it with your knowledge of giant biting pears from Salamanca?
