How about some more Gud Summryies?

[stoney321]

Okay! Happy Monday. For any n00bs: If someone is just getting into fandom, and they are trolling for fic, your summary is how they decide to read you. That whole "judging a book by its cover" thing. The following are taken from various fanfiction websites. And we'll just say they aren't an inducement to read. Or... read for the wrong reasons. (there, so far, has been one exception.)

Obligatory Disclaimer: I do not condone pointing fingers at an author and calling names. We've all done this to our fics, we've all just gotten started and horribly, horribly abused flowery prose. Or misspelled words. Or were idiots. Ha! In the name of fairness, I've put a summary from one of my OWN fics in here! See? I wear big girl pants. Don't point and laugh at any person here. Unless it is yourself. Dude. I'm like zen with that. Awesome. OOH! And I may have caught a plagiarist!! rune_vampyre's FUNNY fic "F*ck you and your cat" was posted at ff.net without her knowledge (where I found the summary) and she didn't post there. And now? It's gone. I'm on to you stealers! Watch yer butt!

Seeing as I had Photoshop open already...

[emma-daisy.livejournal.com]

It's too beautiful a summary not to be iconised.

[ladycat777.livejournal.com]

I ... that ... wow. I didn't think anyone would make me feel good about my summaries. I kinda ... think I need to go weep for humanity now.

[fitofpique.livejournal.com]

I don't suppose you have a link for the Buffy/PotC crossover one, do you? It makes me wonder if somebody has plagiarized circe_tigana's brilliant crossover/parody fic.

Also?

thinking and morning

What is ... two things that are mutually exclusive?

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Ahahaha!! Oh, that's fantastic!

*cracks up at your icon* You win the icon making prize. All of your are so gorgeous and/or funny.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Well, I think it's supposed to be MOURNING.

Hang on.. I'll dig up that link! Oooooh. *eyes narrow with potential theivery THWARTMENT*

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

See? This is all about looking deep inside yourself, laughing, and then getting better.

Or you know... laughing.

[fitofpique.livejournal.com]

Well as far as I can tell she's only written a prologue and the only thing it's plagiarizing is the film, so yeah. Heeee!

[ropo.livejournal.com]

Buffy was a yound and promising Barrel Racer. Then she had an accident. Spike was a young and promising Bull rider. Then he met Buffy.

Oh yeah. I also enjoy "*really* badly written." I think I've read that one, actually. A lot.

http://pics.livejournal.com/ropo/pic/0006wr4x/ ... <-- an icon fer ye.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Spike had promise, goddamn that Buffy.

Hee hee!!! Every fic should have Spike in a tutu.

I think I liked "Warning: other." That there's a head scratcher.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

*puts down billyclub* Damn.

BUT! I just checked out circe's PotC fic and am a more complete person for having done so! My GOD. *re-reads the Norrington*

[hellespont.livejournal.com]

Willow reflects on the 10 letter word.

Lesbianism? Xenophobia? Tetrazzini? Weaverbird?

Buffy was a yound and promising Barrel Racer. Then she had an accident. Spike was a young and promising Bull rider. Then he met Buffy.

Oh, that Buffy. Always thwarting Spike's attempts to ride bucking, musky, powerfully muscled icons of male virility.

Buffy and SPike shar intement times WARNING: VIOLENCE

I read that as "Buffy and Spike share internet times". Was picturing them slapping each other and wrestling over the keyboard, fighting over what to put in their online swingers ad.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Heeeee!!! And my lovely, lovely emma_daisy has made an icon for that last one!

Of COURSE Spike is a bull rider. He's very, very wee. Pfft. Goddamn you, Buffy!! *shakes fist, hollers out: Take a holt!*

Cured! I'm CURED!

[beadattitude.livejournal.com]

Woke up with a crick in my neck, read these and was laughing my head off. Jeff asked me something, and I was shaking my head trying to draw breath....and my neck cracked!

All betters!

Now I have to decide WHICH icons to pilfer.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

HOORAY!!

SEE?!? What have I been saying all along about laughing and medicine? Hmm??

[beadattitude.livejournal.com]

Um, that you probably shouldn't laugh while taking it? 'Cause getting Robitussin off the cat iz rally hard.

Funny, though. If you like collecting kitty death glares.

::rolls neck 'cause I can::

[mpoetess.livejournal.com]

I read that as "Buffy and Spike share internet times"

I read it as 'share interment times,' and was picturing them being buried together, for it is twu WUV!

[fitofpique.livejournal.com]

Ah yes! I almost started rereading No Pirate on Earth, but I restrained myself! I should at least do a little work today. Like 15 minutes. Maybe 20. To start the week off right, like.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Hahahaha!!! Oh, how sweet. Spike had himself buried with Buffy when she jumped, so he could plop her eyeballs back inthe sock and play with her hair for eternity. Or the formaldehyde breaks down.

Awww! WARNING: FLUFF. And Decay.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

*does NOT click on firesignwriter's Jail fics...*

*totally does*

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

but now you have a candy-coated kitty! Um... no. Medicine is NOT candy.

*does not want to go to rehab*

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

GOD DAMN. I canNOT type lately.

SOCKET. This is what happens when you type while eating Apple Jacks.

*punches box of cereal*

Is Spike William? If Spike is William, I will cry! You won't like me when I cry.

Willow reflects on the 10 letter word.

Lesbianism? Hm, Witchcraft? Marsupials? The supenuse!!! 0.0 It's mind boogeling!!!

Angel, after not seeing Buffy since that day, comes back to Sunnydale to save her from the brain powers of a powerful 12 year old boy.

She's Draco Malfoy's undying sense of realism. (But no one cares!)

[http://users.livejournal.com/_willferrell/]

*pets you* I'm not telling. It'll ruin your day. Isn't that awful? HOW ABOUT YOU LEAVE POTC ALONE, KTHX.

I am dawn's raging bile duct! I am that brainiac 12 year old boy!

[cherusha.livejournal.com]

He is, isn't he. *tear ducts sparkle*

oooo, could it be Artemis Fowl, though?

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Hey - you gonna be around today? I need to go for a run (stupid cheesecake) but will be back in a bit to play....

*lures you with pretty pretty Jack pic*
