Some fics whose summaries alone turned me off them:
Title: Heart's Journey
Summary: (ignore the title) YamiSeto (shonen-ai) 'Seto Kaiba was walking down the street, seeming to take no notice of the downpour around him. He wasn’t carrying an umbrella; it was only a light drizzle when he left.'
If you want us to ignore the title, why the hell did you give it that title in the first place?!? O_O
Title: Shadow Games
Genre: Angst/Angst
Summary: Song fic to Shadow Games, KaibaYami lol it's cute.
So it's double-angsty...yet cute. Riiiiight. -_-
The game of life had yet again rolled a number lower than three, making him loose, yet again.
What...the freak...? O_O
Blue eyes banged his fists onto the table, how could he loose THIS match. There was no way. He stood studying the green wall. Blue and yellow had to make that, HE was his yellow.
Okay, that has to be the worst metaphor for love I've ever seen. It took me several minutes to figure out what the heck the author was trying to say. (Seto=blue, blue+yellow=green, therefore Yami=yellow so that Seto+Yami=green. That is one fucked-up train of thought. >_< )
The golden haired, red-violet eyed man finished his coffee, struggling with his emotions, he was sick of being one step lower that HIM.
Yami...is sick of being one step lower...than Seto. I'm not even going to ask what universe this author is living in.
Blue eyes reached for him as he left the cafe, red eyes turned, pulling his hand away...
Oh look! We're reading a fic about anthropomorphic eyes with arms and hands! XD
One hand belonging to him, ran it's finger across his cheek, begging him, apologizing.
And the anthropomorphic eyes have anthropomorphic hands with mouths! O_O

Explaination for those not in the U.S.
A few years ago, ziplock introduced bags with yellow on one side of the zipper and blue on the other. That way, you would know the bag was closed. The slogan, "Yellow and blue make green!"

I think I should leave that in a review for the story. "What are they, ziplock bags?!?"
Hee hee...

That's the first thing that came to mind when I read it.

Is the story trying to tell us that life's a crap shoot? Or this fic is crap?
"Okay, that has to be the worst metaphor for love I've ever seen."
It's pretty bad when you need a color wheel to decipher the metaphor.
"We're reading a fic about anthropomorphic eyes with arms and hands!"
This story takes the descriptions ad nauseum of one fic and takes it all the way in the opposite direction, telling us virtually nothing.
I'm going to go read my "Grey's Anatomy" now.

This may be my sleep deprived brain, but the way I read that was that he gambles and he's easy.
