** The interplanetary war that makes up the main conflict is part of a much bigger chess game between Space Gandalf and Space Sauron. Space Gandalf was originally a gamer whose most notable feature was that he was an excellent failure, until he fell into a black hole and ascended to godhood. He then created some happy-go-lucky space dogs whose idea of a password was "6" and couldn't comprehend violence. In turn, the space dogs made highly advanced robots who fled to Earth and have been performing menial labour for millennia. - @/NitroIndigo

** In this world, people can change objects' states of matter by drawing circles or clapping their hands, but it's definitely not magic. All the information about this is stored in a pocket dimension inhabited by Slenderman/shadowy babies, and you go there if you commit the greatest sin of all: necromancy.

** All the people made of dust were imprisoned in a cave by people made of flesh. A kid made of flesh accidentally entered this cave, and decided to eat flowers in order to get the dust people out. This failed, and a goat decided to kill all flesh people who get in the cave, which caused his wife to leave him. At some point, a guy who isn't actually in the game got erased from existence. This has no bearing on the game's plot, despite what the fandom might tell you. His replacement turned some dying dust people melty and turned a dead goat into a flower. Said flower has the power to rewind time. Then, a flesh kid who looks like the first flesh kid gets in the cave and either befriends or murders all the dust people. The flower wants to kill the kid for taking away his time-resetting powers simply by existing in the cave. - @/{{Hqami}}

** In the ye olden days of 2011, it was decided that lighting things on fire was the most optimal way to do things. Whether it was for transport, medicine, exercise, or cooking that week-old steak you left in the fridge, it seemed fire had it all. The CEO of fire realized people might not like fire very much, so he decided the solution was more fire. He fired himself, fired most of his employees, and posthumously had his vice-president spit fire to convince people that they should be fired too. - @/DocSharp

** A quiet Schmarvard academic receives a cryptic letter from a colleague, his college roommate and only friend, who left on a field expedition down the street to Schmoston a few months ago and hasn't been heard from since. In pursuit of this lead, he quickly finds himself in an unfamiliar part of the city which isn't on his map, full of deformed people with strange names who avoid his questions, but eventually one shows him a glimpse of his friend's fate in the storage closet of the local temple. The narrator knows no words that could describe what unnatural horrors he sees there, so he poetically makes some up. Finally, he mails his story back to the university, asking them to raze the neighbourhood to match the map, while declaring his intent to return to the closet to join his friend forever. - @/{{Noaqiyeum}}

Summarize what the premise, worldbuilding, and/or story of a work ''sounds'' like to non-fans. Pick your favorite work of fiction and imagine: if you were describing what happens in the story to someone who hasn't seen/read/played it, what would it sound like to them? Or, if it's a work ''you'' aren't familiar with, what do it's fans sound like when talking about it? If the results are complete nonsense, then it's a good job! If the results sound like nonsense but somehow aren't too far off from the real thing, then it's a ''great'' job!

Try to write your "explanations" more on the AffectionateParody side of things - this is all in good fun, after all.

Make sure to format your posts by listing the work, then putting your "lore" summary below as a subpoint. We recommend signing your posts with your troper name - like this: [=@=]/[={{Insert Troper Name}}=] - but it's not required. Or, if you're a visual learner, format them like this:

* [-''JustForFun/WorkName'' lore be like:-]
** [-'''[Insert description here.]''' - Troper 1-]
** [-'''[Insert another description here.]''' - Troper 2-]

... and so on. Put the works in the right folders and in alphabetical order. Don't put your new descriptions at the top of the list.

For other intentionally poorly-written descriptions of premises, see SugarWiki/BetterThanItSounds and DarthWiki/WorseThanItSounds. Compare JustForFun/WorkName and JustForFun/TropeNameInjokes, which have a similar idea but are about this very website instead of a specific work.
