Summary Fishing!

This game is where you go to FF.Net, pick a category, and look for summaries that make you wince on the first page. In celebration of having seen PotC2 on Saturday, I'm hitting up the Pirates of the Caribbean section.

I'm Harmony Sparrow, Savvy? - Will Turner needs Jack Sparrows help to rescue Elizabeth from pirates. But Mr. Gibbs informs him Jack is to swing soon, and the only one who can save him is Jack's little sister Harmony. This is a WillOC pairing

I'm going to quote karma_aster's response from when I showed her this one...

[Ryuu](headdesk)
[Ryuu] Oh my god, every Mary Sue alarm in the world is going off for that one.
[Ryuu] And it was the 18th Century! No one named their child Harmony back then!
[Ryuu] Can't you children research your cries for attention?

Will's Sister - Jack runs into this girl in Tortuge who ends up being Will's long lost thought to be dead, sister. It will get more interesting as it progresses i promise. I stink at summeries. Please R&R. Rated ' for mild language. And had no idea for a title so give me

It's a wonderful combination of all things horrible in summaries. It gives us the Sue warning right away, the "this story sucks" warning, the "I suck at summaries" warning, the rating warning, and the "untitled" warning, AND it hits the summary limit!

It's like a masterpiece of bad summary-craft.

Pirates of the Caribbean: The whole story - Captain Jack Sparrow and his sister Lily Sparrow embark on the classic journey. Basically the same story only with Lily along . R&R please! JackLiz, WillOC

Of course, it's hard for this to be the same story with an added OC when Jack gets the canon and Will gets the OC. But let's ignore that little detail for now.

Oh Bugger - A girl from 2006 gets transported back in time to Tortuga, and gets 'saved' by a certain excommodore. You thought that you had problems? All they ever seem to do is fight! To top it off, throw a horny and not to mention devious Jack Sparrow into the mix a

Hi-yah! Score! Not just a Sue, but a modern Sue! And she's going after Norrington! (Don't tell me she isn't, otherwise why would he be mentioned in the summary at all?)

Thank God, all the irritating summaries with DMC spoilers right in the summary have scrolled off the first page by now.

Pirates and Orcs, Oh My!

I went out this evening to enjoy being out and about and doing things. Also, to get some groceries since we were almost out of food. That really puts a dampener on things, you know?

Swung my Toys'R'Us first to check on their selection. Since I've last been there, they apparently got a glut of Transformer toys. The shelves were impressively full and brimming with stock, including Cannonball. Being the squeally little fangirl I am, I picked him up. Also started longingly at Metroplex and Primus, but at $40 a pop, they're set aside for Christmas, having a steady income post-D*C, or gifts.

Next stop was bonnie Barnes and Noble, where I find a copy of "Grunts!". Nothing like the thought of orcs with weapons to make me happy. I spotted a novelization of Snakes on a Plane, searched high and low for an adult-level novelization of Pirates of the Caribbean 2, scanned through the movie storybook for PotC2 (and discovered the name of the guy who's grown into the ship *waves at Wyvern*), and kept misreading Dan Brown's "Deception Point" as Decepticon Point.

Then it was down to the grocery store and back home, where I discovered that my friends like to feed me Internet crack. Mmmm...

Back to pondering my Astrotrain ficathon fic. I've got a concept, now I need to hash out the plot details.

TF2K5 Ficbit

Well, it's set in the TF2K5 world. In New Crystal City, in fact. The latest version thereof, the one that looks like a shark. And it's about Oikodomopolis.

She smells of saltwater. It's barely there and always there, just an intensifying of the sea air. It makes Reflector avoid her, though he thinks he's the only one who has noticed the camera doing that.

Sometimes she leaves soggy footprints down by the docks, which stay there for tantalizing moments before the sun evaporates them. Long Haul was the one who pointed them out, and he's been keeping his optic open for them ever since. They appear more often than he'd like.

Maybe he should stop looking for them. People besides Long Haul are starting to wonder what takes him down to the quay so often these days. Shockwave asked him about it, and if Shockwave found out-

It's not supposed to be like this.

He doesn't want to think about what is not supposed to be this way. Then he'd have to start drinking, and he was always something of a lightweight.
