Had to, man.

So, I get home, I'm exhausted, thinking going to bed early sounds good.

I check my friendslist.

Darn you, mctabby.

My treatment of her Summary Executions XIV is here and here.

"So, I get home, I'm exhausted, thinking going to bed early sounds good."
So apparently, you do some of your best work when you're a little punchy.

"Changed it to Snape Ass Fucking because that sounded more elegant."

Heh. I think that's a little true of all of us! ^_^ Thanks, hon.

*feels darned*

Well, fair's fair - your latest smut kept me awake for some time as well!

Thank you for MSTing again. Your comments are a wonderful incentive to continue collecting summaries. ;D

I truly hope that you find the MSTing a fun thing. I am filled with such admiration for you finding such clever out-of-context statements...I know that in some cases, the stories themselves may not be dreadful and the summaries may be meant to be funny (like, a FEW, she said, remembering the "Harry really came to my band class!" one *shudders*), but it's your collection of them that is brilliant, not to mention time-consuming. You just make it so EASY for us to be funny by setting them up that way. And I hope you don't think I'm trying to steal any of your thunder--it's just that I cannot HELP myself, they're just too damn temptingly wonderful for me NOT to get my regular MSTing urges satisfied on 'em. I love you soooooooo much for these!

*waving*

Posting the latest batch made me remember I hadn't replied to this very kind note of yours.

*throws flowers and candy at Amanuensis*

Yes, that's why I post the summaries - because reading everyone's comments and MSTs is so entertaining! All this started back in March when I was scrolling through a long list of fics at FictionAlley one day and... well, some of them made me snicker helplessly, or scratch my head in bewilderment, or just twitch for inexplicable reasons. So I had an impulse to copy a few and share them on LJ. It became a habit. :D I scrolled through all the fics on Schnoogle, The Dark Arts, and Astronomy Tower, picking out the eyebrow-raising summaries; the first six batches of Executions are entirely from FA, I think. Then I started keeping a file of summaries, and copy/pasting whenever I found an interesting one at any archive. Most come from FA, FF.net, AdultFanFiction.net, and the irresistible wilderness that is harrypotterfanfiction.com. (The last of these has no age limits for authors. There are 11-year-olds writing there. Mmm, instant summary bonanza!) I also visit other archives. Not mourning the demise of Gryffindor Tower - it had dull summaries, but the other Harry/Ginny archive (Sink Into Your Eyes) occasionally produces gems.

Indeed, not all the fics are badfics. Many a good fic has a summary that's infested with Nargles (I suspect that summaries get left out of the beta-reading process). But I usually avoid humor fics, unless the summary's truly exceptional. *cough*wereflamingoe*cough* The ones that delight me most are the memorable malapropisms and divinely-inspired typos in perfectly serious summaries. I also have a fondness for truly striking chutzpah or naivete on the part of authors.

Anyway, thank you for reading - and for adding your perverted wit to the last few batches of summaries. I'm only too happy to feed your MSTing urges. Hope you have fun with batch 15! *leers in anticipation*

AWWW! Thank you for the lovely reply! I loved hearing the history of this and getting the idea of how you find them. I think I will have to check out harrypotterfanfiction.com just to see for myself.

And I'm glad you liked the slightly different inspiration I had for this one!

Do you see just what a fabulous public service you do by compiling these, BTW? The amount of response--hilarous response, to this one in particular!--is STAGGERING. 'S wonderful!

I was browsing through another journal that happened to have a comment from you and it was driving me absolutely mad. I *must* know where the delectable art on your "Not het" icon come from.

...Pretty please?

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

^_^ Let me guess: the third "not het" picture where Draco is licking Harry's neck quite erotically?

[kitsune-kitana.livejournal.com]

Also the fourth picture where Draco is licking an adorably flustered Harry's cheek and the first one, because I'm a whore for manga-style HP. ^^ I seem to have lost the link to the artist of that third pic, but I *had* come across it before. If you'd be willing to give that also...?

After perusing your archives and asking you to scramble after so many links, you deserve some bribes. They're being sent ASAP through email. *grin*

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Bribes? Bribes? *waits to see*

Ah, the very first "not het" picture I found on the pics section of simmysim's bottom!Draco emporium. (http://www.geocities.com/owrai_wa_no_baka/pics.html) Those are drawn by P-Gene, and that person's website is here:http://www.ne.jp/asahi/p-gene/markets/top.htm (It's all in a character language I can't read--Japanese I'm assuming--so I just go through simmysim's site.)

Now, as for the other two: I'm going BONKERS trying to remember the name of the anime artist who drew the H/D-looking erotic picture. I seem to have lost the link. I'm still working on it, though. I am not going bonkers about the Draco-licking-Harry's-cheek one because I KNOW I'm not going to remember where I found it; it's been too long. I CAN, if you like, email you those two pictures! Would be glad to. And am still working on remembering the one site.
