Given the advent of the "summaries" thread, I figured I should add a "hall of fame" section for some summaries that their writers probably could stand to rethink a bit.

Names removed, and only the "so bad it's good" parts remain:

"...Written in '05, is terribly done. Good for a laugh."

"Hello everyone, my name is XX and this is my first story on Fiction Press, i hope it won't be my last. so please let me know what you all think of my story."

"Magnets love each other."

"...Full sum inside :D"

"...Complete with exclusive afterward!"

"A mostly normal girl only interested in boys and fashion..."

"The full title of this story is “Basically, this is a chapter-by-chapter parody of XX’s “Angelic” so for the sake of argument I will call it “Angelic, Mark 2”. Or just “Mark 2”.” And yes, I do have permission from XX and XX to write this."

"You can never have too many vampire stories. I find that as fascinating as they can be, the journey to becoming a vampire is all the more interesting. So this is a story about a girl who goes from being a slave, to a vampire, to a vampire hunting vampires"

"...“It's a vampire-ish story and I suck at summaries, but it's a good story. Really. R & R, please!”"

Wow. Just wow.

"YX is not just an avg girl, she's the Purple-Eyed Princess destined to save the world from the upcoming apocalyse."

"Modern Gothic Romance."

"Really, it's better than it sounds, okay? PLEASE READ AND REVIEW!"

"Vampires? Weapons? Trips around the world? Nope. Not Twilight." Whoa.

"XY has never been special. His entire life has been unextraordinary" Hmkay.

"So this is how Y enters into the girls' lives...R and R please! Was previously called beep"

"A diary entry from a story I'm writing,written in femal point of view"

"MONSTERS! DEMONS! OH GOD! No, really, you'll piss yourself with surprise that it's so good. Click and take a gander, then stay for h'orderves later and leave a review. Cheers!"

"The story of how one new vampire copes with his new life of: catching on fire, SPARKLING!, drinking blood out of champagne bottles and electric ukuleles."

The last two were so great. Hope no one feels offended.

"I heal as fast as Wolverine and no I’m not kidding."

(Shudders)

(You ever felt deja vu before? Like you see a sign or something and you go and say in your mind, "Hey! I feel like I know this place before" or "I've seened that from somewhere...but where have I seened it?" See that's what happened to me...")

Well that's... enlightening.

Hahaha. Sorry, I was just glancing through. That has to be the funniest summary I have ever "seened".

Lol! I know, it was great. Feel free to post some!

Pretty soon I need to go around and "collect" some more. It's been a while since the last time.

"Summary Unknown. Deal with it."

I thought you would appreciate this one. The title was even more descriptive... "No Title"

"Some messed up version of Jonah and the Whale. Except without the Whale. Or a sea. Or Jonah for that matter. A young man battles a monster. A young girl befriends one. --Installment 6 added--"

A new take on an old idea...without the idea!

"2 witches,2 vampires,1 shapeshifter,1 human.When their families are cursed they have to reverse it.They find love,friendship,and stregnth.They are the next generation.When everything is at risk,can they weather the storm? Read and review!Please!"

So cool,there's no space for punctuation marks.At all.

"Lexi was destined to live without living and never die. Becoming a vampire and getting abducted by aliens were random acts of fate."

Are you excited for a massive genre crossover? I know I am!

"A Normal Girl is about to see her whole life Change."

Hmmm...Vague But Ambiguously Capitalized...

"Please Critique: What is good, what is bad and how you would fix it. A girl meets a group of ex-soliders and finds that the night is ruled by crowds of infected humans who want nothing but to kill anyone wandering the streets. Not an official summary."

Kind of sad...it seemed like a pretty good summary. Why'd you let me down with the "not official" part? It sounded like ex-soldiers in a zombie story. But, this story could be about fluffy bunnies, deranged killer clowns, or mutant alligators now, for all I know.

"I'm a better story writer than I am a summary writer. Don't judge by the cover."

Go the extra mile and learn to write summaries. We have a thread for that you know!

"A burst of flames................"

If it's a burst, why does it drag on for so many periods? Three's fine, four at most...but sixteen? Wow.

That's it for now. I love this thread, I really do.
