All set up, no punchline

[skauble]

Dear Harry Potter "author",

Your summary was this:

ManVeela!Harry, Grey!Darkbutnotevil!Harry, DUMBLEDOREBASHING, Dark!Independent!Creature!Harry, POSTGOF, Polilitical!Harry, GOBLINS, Redeemed!Snape, prodigy!genius!harry,NOSLASH, Harry/Harem, NOT SUPER HARRY FIC, Dumbledore/his beard


Story:

One day Harry became a man Veela.

He mated with Ginny in a fiery explosion of screams and sweat and semen.

Then he made a harem and defeated Voldemort with the power of love.

There were also Goblins.

Rocks fell.

Everyone died.

THE END


First, and most importantly, don't think that I didn't notice the lack of Dumbledore/beard there, author.

Second, promising amazing cracky goodness that you can't deliver sucks. The summary was a good start but you couldn't even try to follow through? How hard could it have been to spoof all of those things? You got me all excited and then completely disappointed me. It was like a date but I didn't even get to see a movie.  :(

No love (and nothing to read),
Me

WHERE IS MY REDEEMED SNAPE. That is what I want to know.

[skauble]

He's probably off fluffing Dumbledore's...beard.

Mostly, just, ROFL. So many awesome cracky ideas. It must indeed have been very disappointing to click and find that "story".

I'm going to go back to not reading crack unless it's rec'ed to me. Crack usually isn't my thing, but I like it when it's really done well. Unfortunately, it takes a lighter touch than people think (certainly lighter than I have) and so it's easy to do poorly and so I generally won't just randomly read those stories. But how could I possibly resist that summary? Especially when they promised political!Harry in the middle of Harry's gray, veela, creaturish, independent, genius, harem having life? Frankly, if Harry could pull that all off then I'd say he was Super Harry no matter how fandom defines it.

[annmarieri]

I'm not much for crack myself, but like you, I would have been totally unable to resist that summary had I come across it. :D

I got as far as "Polilitical!Harry" and started laughing. I wouldn't have made it to the fic if it weren't on this comm.

[dmarley]

It's so much fun to say: polilitical, polilitical, polilitical

[noracharles]

What a let down. The summary made it sound like it would be so much fun. It used to be there were a lot of over the top OOC Creature!Harry wins at everything while suffering horrible angst fics on ff.net, but I haven't really seen any good ones since book 5 came out.

Light comment is light

.... But how is there no slash if Dumbledore has a relationship with his beard which is, invariably, male as well?
