More Gud Summries!
Jan. 5th, 2006 09:53 amOh, fandom. I love you so. *pulls on bitch pants* Okay, you should all know the drill by now, but to make sure I don't have to make new icons for those that don't get it, here we go:
Based on the HP Summary Execution fun by
mctabby, these are the Jossverse Gud Summries. Disclaimer: This is not a story review. Many of these fics have not been read by me. This is all about the "dust jacket" to entice new readers, and the funneh. There is to be no mocking of authors, and naming names is rude and will get you deleted. Now, come on. We've all fallen victim to wonky word choice, I'm no exception. If we can't laugh at ourselves, then I'll just laugh harder for you, okay? Any commentary in italics is from me. Uh, duh.
Previous posts, icons are linked h e r e, and
mangofandango has made some icons!
Oooh! Here's an example of one that made me WANT to read it: "Harmony and Andrew meet - is the universe safe? Short answer = probably." Hee! Funneh. Speaking of:
And really? No one wants to read Coupling slash that's funny and kinda hot *ahem* aside from three of you? Huh. OOH! For those of you who are into detailed RPGs like TSP and Fandom_High, I came across this while pimping out my OWN RPG (although mine is a parody RPG, not an intricate one like this) called:
cuba_street Whoa. Holy detail and organization! Looks highly addictive, and I believe they are looking for writers - plenty of good ones on my flist, that's for sure. Check it out!

Oooh! Here's an example of one that made me WANT to read it: "Harmony and Andrew meet - is the universe safe? Short answer = probably." Hee! Funneh. Speaking of:
- Angsty-fluffy fic! (so.... Is Spike cutting Buffy's gut open and filling it with kittens?)
- Teh scooby gang is mysteriously dissapering. Can Tara & Dan find out whats going on before they preform there own Vanishing act?
- Spike watchs the lovely slayer sleeping next to him, then its her trun to watch him sleep. Will they ever be able to their true feelings? or will it all say in his bedroom?

- Buffy disappears 100 years into the past & ends up finally having normal conversations with Spike... through telepathy!
- Buffy and Giles do the Star Trek alien sex virus thing. (no. words.)
- Pike & Oz join forces to take on a ferosius evil.
- Dawn isn't exactly the angle everyone thinks. (Instead of being acute, she's quite obtuse. Ba-dum-pum-ching!)
- teenage boy cliches and all the fluff you could ever need!
- It's not quite a poem and not quite a fic... maybe it's a foem!
- Willow is full of saddness but Xander makes WIllow's saddness expire.
- Dawn's hair stays shiny (heee!)
- Its Buffy's honeymoon with Spike and everyone's invited! (Next, on Skinemax. Chicky Bow.)
- A hot dog on a stick changes everything.
- dis was mah friend's idea..she wanted me to write it for her! its also mah first fanfic, no no making fun! (too late!)

- Can Angel save her? do dogs bark?
- I will deal with all the characters of the show and all their problems. (Und zen for ze shpankings.)

- Carpenter and fool, it's Xander's turn.

Buffy/Angel Angst. dedicated to my grandmother
just made me think of this little grey haired old granny sitting there in her rocking chair looking over the dedicated fic her grandchild had written for her featuring Bangel songfic, possibly with moist slayers and cold dead sead vampires as she goes WTF??!!
I love you fandom, and I love you more for bringing on the laughter.

He had no idea who this girl was or why they had gravitated toward each other in the darkness, much less why they were now locked in a heated embrace but he thought it must be some kind of spell, one of those evil fuck-with-your-head kind of deals...but she was so lithe, so hot, so wet, and her hair was so fucking shiny, it almost glowed around her face, framing it like a halo....that Connor didn't care.

Date: 2006-01-05 09:15 am (UTC)The thing is, I don't really know HOW MUCH fluff I really need, so there's a quandry here.
*calculates* I love how honest it is.

Date: 2006-01-05 09:34 am (UTC)This one just made my day. I've been having a 3 day email conversation with someone trying to explain to them why their fic can not be nominated in both Comedy/Fluff and Dark/Angst, at SoGA.

Anyway, this made my day. Now I must do something to make these chuckles subside.

Date: 2006-01-05 04:49 pm (UTC)I actually like the summaries that say: look. I'm crap at this. Spike and a dust-buster and an apocolypse, ok?
