I am not really going to get started on this. For one thing, it is unlikely to be as endless a source of entertainment as summaries are (although I've so tagged this post anyway so I can find it with them). But I was browsing through some Yahoo groups today and came across quite a few ... interesting ... list descriptions. Keep in mind that like my summaries posts, whose source feed from FFN is narrowed considerably by requiring Severus Snape to be selected in one of the two character menus, the keyword here was "Snape", and I'm sure you could find many more both similar and worse if you tried the keyword "Harry Potter".

Welcome to Potions! I am Severus Snape. I am here to bewitch your mind and ensnare your senses. I can teach you to brew fame, bottle glory and even put a stopper on death. So, are you ready for the challenge? Contact me at babylollipoppy@yahoo.com with questions or comments.
That's an undercover email address for Snape if I ever saw one.

THIS SITE IS DEVOTED TO THE MOST OUTSTANDING ACTOR AND MAN – ALAN RICKMAN! WE LOVE THIS CELESTIAL MAN, HE IS GREAT, WHATEVER HE PERFORMS. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO FIND SUCH PEOPLE, WHO LOVE HIM INDEED, BUT SOME OF THE FANS CAN SAY: "WE ADMIRE HIM TRULY, MADLY, DEEPLY!" THIS GROUP IS FOR SUCH BRILLIANT LADIES! ALSO WE SHALL DISCUSS SEVERUS SNAPE, SUCH A MYSTERY MAN!
YES I AGREE IT MUST BE VERY HARD TO FIND SLAVERING FEMALE FANS OF ALAN RICKMAN SINCE HE DOESN'T REALLY HAVE ALL THAT MANY OF THOSE DOES HE. AND THANK YOU FOR YELLING. I ENJOY IT TOO.
(p.s. "celestial"? must be thinking of the Metatron.)

Severus snape isn't all that bad. Underneath his black cloak we(I) see a man confused about his past and future. Someone who doesn't understande the meaning of life!
Life? Don't talk to him about life.
-----
Here we will talk about Divination, your wonderful Headmaster,and that darn Harry Potter.
You know, I might actually read an Animagus!Harry pastiche of That Darn Cat! Too bad that's not what they mean.

HI! this is my club for all the people who hate the jerks of harry potter! you can talk about all the cool people! you can talk about how much you hate the other people too! by the jerks i mean voldemort, malfoy, snape....etc. not the other way around just so you know!
O.o ... !
Well.
When you just don't know what to say, say it with macros:
-----
Become a character from the past and be in school with the Marauders. You can be Lilly, James, Remus, Sirius, Peter, Snape and everyone who has a mum or dad. ^_^
Umm... that'd be just about everyone, period, wouldn't it?
-----
NOTE: This will be a more realistic oriented RPG. That means that slash is allowed. Not necassary but allowed. AS well as minor swearing and a more harsh and realistic approach to the RPG...
Wait, wait. Slash is "more realistic"? Oh, fandom, don't ever change!
And gosh, I'm glad it's "not necassary". It would have been so hard for me if I had to read and write slash all the time or something.

This is the behind the scenes place for the Snape Hater Debaters to coordinate our attack and bring those Poncy Snape Lovahs to their knees!!!
Aren't they likely to already be down there?

Where you can R.P. as Harry Potter.
The whole group? Everyone? All Harry, all the time? *blinks*
...I am now having bizarre visions of a Hogwarts entirely populated by several hundred Harry Potters, everyone from miniature Harrys busy in the kitchens through students (of all four houses) and teachers up to Headmaster Harry Potter, surrounded by portraits of a thousand years of former Headmasters Harry Potter.

Snape walks in leering at you. Upon cracking a smirk, he says to you, "Welcome to Hogwarts School Of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I will be your advisor in requirements and rules." His smirk drops from his face and his sultry deep vioce drops an octive as he says, "This is beginning style RPG. Actions shall be stated with complete sentences; such as 'Draco walked up to Hermione and shouted,...
I don't know why, but this carefully described "reading of the rules" is amusing the heck out of me. (The text-adventure feel of the second person probably has something to do with it.) Is this really the right sort of material for Severus's mannerisms and voice in full over-theatrical mode? It sounds like he's trying to pick up some extra cash by doing voiceovers for educational films.

Harry Potter and the Magical Mishaps of Love Angel Darling takes place during Harry and friends' seventh year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. What happens when a Love Angel who is trying to become a fullfleged Cupid comes to Hogwarts to earn her strips? Expecially when she is so pron to mistakes? A lot of havoc and bad timing considering He-who-must-not-be-named is waiting to make...
A "Love Angel" earning "strips" and being "pron" to mistakes? That could almost be good, if cracky. Alas, I fear these words were not used on purpose.

Welcome to Hogwarts, but to the different one! Great luck-Dumbledor at last was sacked, and Severus Snape (not without Lucius Malfoy's help) became your Headmaster. Are you happy? As the matter of fact, it's not so important.
Actually, the interesting thing about this one (besides its curious use of English) is that it was created 8 years ago. Given that, this description is a little impressive.

;-) Indeed...
This whole thing made me laugh. These are way more amusing than a lot of the fanfic descriptions out there, IMHO. Perhaps it is because there seems to be a little more thought put into these (sad as that is given the quality).
More please :-).

Date: April 15th, 2009 05:48 pm (UTC)From:This exhausted the entirety of the 478 results you get if you type "snape" into the search box at groups.yahoo.com, and they aren't generated anywhere near as fast as "contains:Severus Snape" posts at FFN (average of a couple dozen daily), so I doubt it. The most recent was created several months ago.

Ahahaha! I love how the owl macro looks like the long lost love-child of Harry and Hedwig. I especially love the Happy Jesus.
A "Love Angel" earning "strips" and being "pron" to mistakes?
LOL! 'Love Angel', 'pron' and/or 'strips' should not be in the same sentence.

Impressive indeed. Talk about foreshadowing!

I especially love the Happy Jesus.
That's "Buddy Christ", part of the trappings of the new, hipper Church George Carlin's character is trying to put forth in Dogma, so I guess we've come full circle back to the Metatron there.
Impressive indeed. Talk about foreshadowing!
It's possible, even likely, that they've changed the description since creating the group, so that bit of text might be post-DH, but somehow I doubt it.
