I agree with Viv about the acronyms and begging for reviews but what REALLY gets me is this:
"Jack and Jill go up the hill... I'm really awful at summeries but please read!"
I don't think I've ever read one with a summery like that. To me that says : "I don't have enough faith in my writing, so I'll resort to begging!"
And there ends Hannah's weekly rant

Yeah, those do have a huge DO NOT READ banner on them, don't they? 
One of the many, many reasons I avoid good ol' ff.net...  |

I am ashamed to admit  that I sometimes go trolling on FF.net to look for certain "gems," based on summaries just like the ones BB and Viv mentioned. It's like one of those movies where you know the killer is lurking in the closet. You know that you shouldn't look, but the temptation is JUST too strong for you to resist.

While we're having ffnet confessions...
I will sometimes troll around to see if any of my favorite characters star in some particularly glorious works.
Usually there aren't any.
I shudder to think what I'd find if I was a bigtime Legolas or Frodo fan, though.......  |

Well, the last Leggy fic I read on ff.net had him pregnant with Saurons twins.
I stopped after that.

Now, what is wrong with that??
No--I know--it would have been OK if they were Gimli's twins, or maybe Aragorn's , but just because it's Sauron, it's not OK.
Legolas can be off on a booty call with Haldir, Boromir & Treebeard, and that's cool, but add in a flaming eyeball and suddenly---WHAM--it's obscene.

Sometimes I put a paragraph of the actual fic as my description. I happen to think it draws the attention of the reader more.

I really don't want to know any more specifics of that fic. LOL.

Perhaps I was a bit too vauge...
Legolas is a M-A-L-E... that means no babies. Sorry sick psycho freaks, its just not biologically possible.
Got it? No babies. None. That's it. Period. Sorry.
Gross...

Well I once read a luverly Legolas/Glorfindel monstrosity in which our fair haired prince actually spawned a child.  I didn't mean to read it, but it was so horrific that I had to continue on for the sake of scientific research.

And unfortunately that was the problem. Lego was the mommy and Glori was the daddy. The entire story left me quite uncertain as to what to get for the expectant mother for the baby shower

A dangerous weapon with which to kill the author. |
