Do you go reading badfic just to find quotes?
Sort of. It comes to me. These are off my RSS feed for The Pit of Voles, otherwise known as FanFiction.Net. My feed is only a tiny slice of the available horrors, though, because I restrict it to "contains Snape as one character". When I see something come through with a bizarre summary, I do my best to actually read the fic in question before posting about it. Sometimes all-right or merely mediocre fics just get these really bad summaries on them. And, to be fair, I've found a bunch of perfectly good stuff on FFN too. It's just that it's self-upload with absolutely zero quality control, so when it is bad, it is often horrid.
Also, am I correct in interpreting that the first story was plagarized from someone else's, and if you read this one they'll tell you where the original is because it's much better?
Apparently it was a song on MySpace, or something.

I don't do this with any kind of industry, though. See
