The summary game
« on: July 14, 2008, 05:08:57 PM »

Let's see if more people will participate in this one. If not, I wave the game making flag and i'll stop... sure I will.   ::) lol

Since summaries have been getting way too long on the site lately and it seems like people are having trouble trying to figure out how long or how much info they need to put in a summary to make it work, I thought this would be a fun game.

What you have to do is write a summary for a story that is not your own and based on that summary we have to guess which story it is.

You can't use more than three lines to describe the story and the story has to be on the AC site.

As a hint you can give us a genre or whether or not we might find it on a recent update list. This will hopefully give us some practice on writing summaries because if it's too long we'll let you know! lol

Good luck and have fun!

Okay....I'll give it a go:

First, comes love; second, comes marriage; then comes Nick with a baby carriage. Read the first part of this trilogy and discover how it all began.

Genre: AU, Slash

Can you name this story?

That is the perfect length for a summary! Not only is it clever but it would draw me in to reading it. If I liked slash.

I have no clue what story it is though. Mainly because I don't read slash, which you know lol

Let's see if we can get some guesses about the title and then I will do a big reveal, if necessary.  :-X   And yes Mare, I know that you don't read slash....but I'm still committed to get you to read just one!  ;)

I loathe romance too. I didn't see this until after I posted my challenge to you Rose. Like I said if someone else challenges you, you don't have to write the slash one and if you can find a loop hole because I left you a lot of room for that, feel free. lol
