Scratch my head every time...

... I run across a summary consisting of "[main character] [genre] Some stuff is going to happen but that is to be expected."

?

:)) Well, that's a rather... brave summary. This shouldn't have me laughing this hard, but it does. You may have just made my day with that. And God knows I need some laughter after reading three dark!fics in a row at the Cup.

That sounds like something I might write. I *suck* at summaries!

I find myself pondering those with the summary of "This is the end" more.

Actually, the one that really made me go WTF was "Petunia catches Vernon and Dudley rapping Harry. What will she do now?".

Yes, because rapping somebody is such a traumatic incident. I wholly agree; I can't stand the stuff. :P

My favorite plots involve stuff happening to characters.

I don't know if I should laugh or cry or worship the author. The summary was sort of brilliant in its, um, insufficiency^^

I love stuff. Stuff is my favourite stuff there is.

how about

"[main character] [genre] Nothing is going to happen. That's unexpected."
