Currently searching for Tolstoy fandom. Found these:

Quote:

I Don't Wanna Make Biscuits by Tristan-the-Dreamerreviews Val, Val, Val...You're gonna pay for your lack of interest in domestic matters...This New Blood fic is about as long as a cheese doodle so if you want a novel...go hang out with Leo Tolstoy!

Heh, I can't decide if I like this odd summary or not.

From the Babylon 5 fandom:

Quote:

Quote:

War and Peace 2 by Chris-One The sequel to novel "War and Peace" by Leo Tolstoy.

I am disappoint that Tolstoy moved on to Anna Karenina before he could pen War and Peace 2: Electric Boogaloo. By the way, it's a 499-word one-shot that involves Agent Xero and the Jonas Brothers fighting the Napoleonic Wars.

I just came across one in the Titanic section of FF.net titled No Bandage or Words.

What is that even supposed to mean?

From an Across the Universe fic titled THE CONCERT FOR JAPAN: WRITING STYLE:

Quote:

READ AND HELP SUPPORT NATUARL DESASTER RELIEF!

The biggest disaster here is the spelling. Also: how would reading a badfic on a free site help support natural disaster relief?

For reasons that are beyond me right now, I decided to take a quick look at FFN's Bleach section. This summary nearly made me spit out my Diet Pepsi.

Quote:

Rukia cant understand why she had been feeling sick after Returning from her and Renji's honeymoon. Neither can Renji. A life changing discovery for the newly wed's is to be made.How will they take it?

So far, so boring, right? "Oh look, complete surprise morning sickness and pregnancy! Lol kawaii!!!"

Except...

Quote:

related to woodland creature's

"Wait...Rukia Kuchiki was knocked up by a bear? Is that what you're saying?"

Maybe they're the woodland critters from South Park?

I've written Wish-Fulfilment fanfics with OCs before (although I'd like to hope they're not Mary Sues) but something I've made a practice of is trying to be extremely subtle about mentioning that I've got an OC.

Because that has a real tendency to put people off.

There's only one question I like to put in my summaries - How? Generally I could probably do some improvement on my summaries but I don't want to give away too much.

I know it's a double post, but hey, it is a new point...

You know what I hate? The title "Kissed By A Rose" in fics. Especially when people use the chorus in the fic. They clearly don't understand the meaning of the song.

It's about sex. Very, very much so. Lots and lots of extremely passionate sex. And orgasms. I'm not even going to explain it all here because all you have to do is look up the lyrics.

So no, it doesn't fit your adorable little fic about "Oooh, (male) and (female) share a sweet little kiss." It's more fitting to "Oooh, (male) and (female) have good, hard, passionate sex all night long with multiple orgasms each."

In fact it's not even like there's just a handful. There are over 600 stories with that in their title. Over 500 are a T rating or under. 500 are tagged with romance.

The song's about SEX. Not kissing, SEX, dammit! Even before I understood all the metaphors I knew it was really about sex, so stop using it for cuddly fics!

I see this hasn't been updated in a long time, but I thought I would share this one.

Quote:

With Jayden's father away, it's up to him to train his sister to be the white and black rangers. But who knew raising two sixteen year olds would be so hard?

Unfortunately Jayden's sister does not have split personalities.

The Twilight fandom is abundant with them (don't ask how I managed to find myself there):

Why are you screaming at your readers?

It's pretty bad when the word 'summary' is right in front of you (in plural form) when you're writing your summary and you still can't spell it correctly.

Quote:

My Happy Ending » by Nesi Cullen reviews What happens to Seth after Breaking Dawn, who is this new girl that is spicing up the Cullen and the Pack's lives.

If you can't use the right punctuation in your summary then I shudder to think what you story looks like.

Pfft. You must be obtuse if you're into that kind of stuff.

I know, right?!

Japan, My Home by WhiteWolf0604 reviews Ryoma is coming back from the Amarican Open to be back at his home, Japan. He'll also be rejoining Seigaku and hopefully helping them make it through the Nationals, but is that all Tezuka wants from the young tensai? -Rated for Safety- -Possible Yaoi-

... This writer is from America. That is all I need to say.

The thing that always bugs me is "Summary inside". If the author can't sum up their fic in one or two sentences, it's way too involved for me to read. Back!

I just found this one:

Quote:

Her father is dead and is living with her single mother.

So...is her mother dead, too (not uncommon for a Sue) or does her mother keep her father's corpse around?

"Hey, dan." "yeah?" "My mother's keeping the 6 year old deceased corpse of her husband in the basement." "I- What?" "Yeah, best part is it moves." "... Wh-" "It, is aliiiiiveeeeee!"

Lmao omg, so many of these are so fucking funny. I can't think of any awful summaries I've come across. I usually erase the ones with horrible spelling from my mind and ignore the ones with short summaries or are full of caps that are yelling at me about how the summary is inside and to review.

However, I noticed the whole "thin line between love and hate" post and decided to search "summery" on FF.net out of curiosity...(can't post the link but you'll see what I mean if you search it). Nearly over 9,000 fics with "summery"...and they're not talking about anything related to summer. Is it really hard to spell out "summary", correctly? I thought maybe it was foreign language problems, but no...they're nearly all English fics.
