I like to cruise Fanfiction.net for new stories to read by looking at the favorite stories of people who have left comments or reviews on my stories -- on the theory that if they like what I write, I might well like other stories that they like. At the very least, I hope to find coherent stories with plots and decent grammar and punctuation.

Even using this as a filter, there are still tons of stories on the site to read, so I also go by the intro to the story to see if it might appeal to me. And sometimes, the little intro blurb just seems sheer genius... or maybe in combination with the story title. Here's a few that caught my eye:

RANMA Owner's Guide and Manual
Blurb: Congratulations! You are now a proud owner of a RANMA SAOTOME! With this guide, you will be able to raise your Cursed Martial Artist to be the best!

Not Like You
Blurb: Ranma Saotome heir to the Saotome School of Anything Goes Martial Arts, heartbreaker, lifewrecker, dead.

(Now, how can you resist a story that begins with the death of the main character?)

Genma vs. Chuck Norris
Blurb: It's a battle of titans! Or something.

Coming Home to Roost
Now with 200% of the daily recommended allowance of hot lesbian assassins.

I didn't go to any cons this weekend. I stayed home, had fun on my computer, and actually wrote a bit, and saved money spent money online instead.
