abuseI loved it. I write for fanfiction, I only read fictionpress. But this was helpful all the same- even though I generally have no problem coming up with summaries, I might occasionally reference back here...post a link for this on a few forums...

It was awesome.

abuseI'm shocked that in the list of things you CAN put in your summary (like Under Construction, epilogue/prologue up) you did NOT mention slash! HOW COULD YOU?! That's the most important thing, if you don't warn that you're writing slash, I might end up reading something wrong wrong wrong :D Haha, but awesome guide, my summaries feel inadequate already!

abuseHey! This was a really helpful essay; I thought it was wonderful. However, I now know that to you, I'd come off "desperate" since some stories of mine have the "R&R." But this was really helpful. Thanks for writing this.

abuseOkay(hehe), I just have to get you on this because your were so picky about everything that should, or should not, be in a summary.

"do note the difference between and because they make a world of difference"

--isn't it "and and because"
--sorry! (hehe), after reading how thoroughly engrossed you are in describing summaries, I just had to point out that mistake.
-still love your story "TCC"

abuseThis is very helpful. I can say I have some experiences on my own, because I'm also a writer--although in I'm sort of new here, but the problem is the same in here and in (Although it's easier to get one's attention in

I must say it's very hard to get one's attention here, probably because this website has a lot of various gernes. And so what I'm saying is this essay is beneficial not only for the newbies like me but also to those authors with not so good summary-making ability. Plus I liked your sense of humor too.

So...Job well done!

(I hope my review made sense. ;))
Koharu

P.S. I like your stories, their summaries are good too. (wink wink)
