dicking about
This makes me think that there should be a 'summarise your stories like badfic' meme, if there hasn't been one already:
Return
The fic where everyone is dead except Wesley, who is running an investigative agency in LA, and Faith who's just come out of prison, and they have incredibly uneventful angst and sexual tension together for 90% of the fic then eventually end up shagging like bunnies for the last 10% and indulging the author's scar fetish liek whoa despite the fact that SHE WTF TORTURED HIM.
The Substitute Teacher
That AU where Doyle is a teacher in Sunnydale lusting after jailbait!Cordelia who's in his class and the Scooby Gang mistake him for an evil demon and hunt him down and whup his ass. Then Buffy and the rest have terrible Guilt at their mistake and Doyle helps them to save the day 'cause he's Just That Sort of Cool Guy, and he and Cordy live Happily Ever After and I vomit.
Theatre of the Absurd
The wishverse story where Kate gets gang raped by vampires then rescued and turned by Darla, then given a soul by gypsies and made to travel America fighting evil with a visionguy until he dies and then Kate has to find Darla, who is living in a theatre in New York, so that she can pass on the visions and they can have lesbian sex and fight evil together. Oh, and there is rpf rape featuring Antonio Banderas and Michelle Pfeiffer. And random plagiarism of literature.
OK, so for some strange unfathomable reason 'Theatre' lends itself better to this exercise than most... 8)
