Summary
So you wanna read the Silmarillion, don’tcha? Tolkien’s magnum opus, the entire reason Lord of the Rings exists, over 300 pages of genealogies, and for some reason a lot of singing? But you can’t get through it, because you’re a moron.
Well, don’t you worry, dear moronic reader, for I, a certified Tolkien moron, will explain the ENTIRE book to you. Every bit. From the Two Trees to the One Ring. Everything. The whole book. We’re gonna meet some wild folks and you’re not gonna recognize a single name for a while.
Yes this will probably drive me insane. Don’t worry about it.
And if you’ve already read the book, welcome. Feel free to yell what I missed in the comments.
Without further ado, let’s get “The Silmarillion for Morons” started.Series

Summary
So, you wanna read The Chronicles of Narnia, don’tcha? CS Lewis's flagship magical shenanigans books, the one book series that made all of us want a wardrobe, a very floofy lion and one hell of a evil witch? But you can’t, because you’re a moron.
Well, never fear, my dear readers! For I, the same idiot who summarized the whole Silmarillion, will now summarize all seven books of the Narnia series. I hope you like lampposts. And lions. And me having a mental breakdown because none of the lore makes sense. Should be fun!

Inferno for Morons by Platinumglow
Fandoms: La Divina Commedia | The Divine Comedy - Dante Alighieri

Summary
So, you want to read Dante’s Inferno, dontcha? A true work of classical fanfiction, the first true self-insert, and oh also a lovely jaunt through hell? But you can’t because…well it’s Inferno. Just go play Devil May Cry instead.
Well, never fear, for I am here. I’ll take you through every canto, from the winds of Lust to the ice of Treachery, and we’ll slog through Dante’s need to faint every time something good happens. You’ll see such sites such as some horribly aged content because, friendly reminder, this book was written in the 1200s, and centaurs! There are centaurs for some reason. Don’t ask.
Also, if you’re doing an assignment on Inferno for your school or class, this is not a primary source. I repeat, THIS IS NOT A PRIMARY SOURCE.
(also not featuring dante, from the devil may cry series. had to make that joke at least once)

A Series of Unfortunate Events for Morons by Platinumglow
Fandoms: A Series of Unfortunate Events - Lemony Snicket, A Series of Unfortunate Events (TV), A Series of Unfortunate Events (2004)

Summary
So, you want to read A Series of Unfortunate Events, don’tcha? The pseudonymous author Lemony Snicket’s flagship of fantastic writing, an intricate tale that spans a whole book series, three seasons of a banger Netflix show, and a movie everyone chooses to forget? But you can’t, probably because you haven’t been able to find all 13 books recently.
Well, never fear, for I can summarize the whole series for you! All thirteen novels of horrors no child should go through, eye tattoos that are the exact opposite of classy, a secret fire department and an incomplete tea set that probably holds the secrets of the universe. Should be a good time.Also, just a disclaimer: This series has an unhealthy amount of disdain, abuse, physical and verbal, and just general hatred towards kids from the villains and characters around them. If that makes you uncomfortable, this might not be the fic for you.

Summary
Guess who's not dead? That's right, your favorite summary series is back and ready to absolutely ruin Homeric classics for you. Yep, it's time for the Iliad, retold for absolute morons and written in the most hyperactive way possible. Plus, now I can tag with EPIC the Musical and piss off a whole NEW group of people! Yay!
Trigger Warnings: Kidnapping, being generally weird towards women, Agamennon's entire existence, death, so much death, general war stuff. Again this book was written thousands of years ago and some of the general concepts are not OKAY in today's word but they were okay back then. Keep that in mind.
