Title: The summary game
Post by: mare 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 thought about that for you lol, the whole slash thing, but I can't even write one so I decided to play nice lol

LOL hrmm no one has challenged you yet though, correct? *gets sinister look on her face*

Yes but that would go under the rule of genres I hate lol. I hate slash lol. Like loathe it.

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

Can you name this story?

The answer is "How It All Began" by Jamie and CJ_K.

aww lol I guess this game tanked too! :(


You did good Pammy.

Anyone else want to try this?

That was fun!  I thought it was fairly easy until I realized that the story didn't show up as a recent story.  But I'm a slashaholic and I've been readiing stories written by the authors for many years now. 

There are so many clever writers on this board, I'm sure someone else will try another summary to continue this game.

I hope so! Thanks for being the first one! :)

I actually kinda like this game, so I will give it a try:

What Happens when you take Five Backstreet Boys and send them into a seemingly haunted forest? Plenty of laughter, a couple talking ghosts, a spooky old guy and scary moments. Just remember don’t go into the woods alone!

It's the best I could do in three lines lol

Well Hell, that didnt take long LoL... Now I must try another one.

Going from best friends to lovers is a big step that doesn’t come without problems. While both try to deal with their past, their families & friends and new troubles along the way, can they get through it all to see a future together? Will there be a happy ending for this couple or a heartbreaking split?
