Summaries
RokofAges75:
I do like some general expectation of what I'm getting into when I click on a story. I would never buy a book in a bookstore without reading the summary on the back or the jacket. But with fanfics, since they're free LOL, I'm okay with vague summaries that leave me wanting to find out what the story's about. If it turns out not to be my cup of tea, I can just click out of it, and no harm done (and no money wasted LOL).
Carter-Orange:
I like a short summary, kind of like the example posted :) I've seen some where they've almost written the whole story as the summary and I'm put off by that.
I saw on one site where the author had included parts of her chapters in the actual summary and I just thought "why?"
mare:
^ yeah. I have seen some of those too and thought the same thing lol It's to much info. Like a movie trailer that gives the entire plot away!
carterkid:
Is this too vague for all of you? 'This is wrong...I shouldn't be here,I shouldn't be doing this.I'm [name here] and before I go ahead with the rest
of this story,let me go back to the begining.Where it all started.'
I don't know which of the guys I'm using yet that's why I left the name out.

I think it's intriguing.
