Is this Harry Potter/ Left 4 Dead crossover bad enough to toss on the pile? Yeah, Harry's pretty OOC and the author has a serious problem with putting apostrophes in plurals, but I don't know whether it would be bad enough to spork, or just mediocre.

Some mediocre-leaning-bad fics do improve as they go and/or the author rewrites earlier chapters, but this is leaning so far it seems unlikely.
Ellipsis already quoted the 'charge list' so I won't repeat it, but I agree with most of it (and I'm especially peeved by the insistence on putting apostrophe's where they don't belong!)
Quote: Warnings: Swearing, smart!Harry, Sorta-Slytherin!Harry, ?Dark!Harry? (not sure-at least a Grey!Harry), past Abused!Harry (slightly), Manipulative!Dumbledore, Not-so-bad!Voldemort, Major OOCness, there may be more, but I can't remember so...I may add to this list...
So many prefix!Characters, especially dark!Harry and not-so-bad!Voldemort... and oh lord the "Issues List" in the middle could double as a charge list.
I'd wait for a while if there was a second chapter, but otherwise it looks like a yes.
