Well, if you suck at summaries you could just make sure it's extra vague. lol

That would have been a 3/3 summary to me. If it was just a "Hm, that looks like it could be kind of interesting...," that was more like a 2/3 summary. If it was kind of a "Meh..." summary or not really much of a summary at all, that was a 1/3.

You know, I actually think I ended up giving every summary the exact same score. ROFL.
We should seriously just do away with summaries all together. lol Or go with Mare's fifteen word limit.
And with that logic, the next summary for PBox shall be "Nick is a demon. Yes it's fantasy. There, I saved you the trouble of reading." lol
honey:
LMAO DEE! That is the most beautiful summary I've ever read!

The first thing I thought was "that breakfast was still out." Because that was totally my reaction this morning when I walked downstairs at eleven thirty and hoped that breakfast hadn't been locked back in the kitchen. lol

LMAO!!
I wouldn't want to do away with summaries; then people would complaining that they suck at titles, because that's all there would be to go off of. Or Mare would be complaining because more people would rely on banners to attract readers to their stories.
I like summaries; I'm just not always wowed by them. If I'm politely curious, though, enough to click on the story and check out the first chapter, then the summary has done its job.
