abuseHm... Very good advice, I shall have to keep all of this in mind when submitting stories, rather than bad poetry.

abusethis is really nice :)

ya... it really annoys me when people put "i suck at summaries. first fic, please r&r. better than it sounds" ... wtf?

i personally don't really care if there's the "full summary inside", since some times you can't quite fit the whole thing in within the summary box limit, as long as there is some type of summary in the summary box too, like a quote from the story or something.

thanks for posting! ^^

abusethis is really cool. and totally true. I sometimes put tags on my stories, but i think i don't get readers or reviewers just because i stick to a small group of writers, so there aren't that many that know me. maybe people will review your stories more if you expand your group of friends. i normally review someone if they favorite-ed me.

abuseWow, I totally never looked at the whole beta thing like that before. Which is a complete shock, because my mind's pretty much always in the gutter. Thanks for the laughs =)

abuseThe summary box is always a question of contraversy. I am currently writing a story called Fallen Snow. I started with this summary. This is my first attempt to write a story. I hope to make this exciting. Please Review!! Well, I got a lot of hits and some reviews. Then I thought that I should probably make an actual summary. So I changed my summary to, A couples lives are turned upside down after an accident. Guess what, I got few hits and no reviews, because who wants to read a story like that. So, I changed it back to the first one. My summary sounded boring, but the story isn't. The summary made it sound like a stupid soap opra, when it is far from it. Summaries are not always a good thing. Now that I have changed it back, I have 86 hits, and 12 reviews and the story was just put on like 2 or 3 weeks ago. So, I do not completely agree with you, but I am going to keep reading because I might find something that will help me. I think that it is great that you wrote about this topic, because a lot of people struggle with this.

Don't know if it's meant to be, but it's funny.

And I love flames. I love reading them. I would love to get them too.

:shrug:
It's constructive criticism.
Useful and always better blunt.
People shouldn't be so sensitive (although I suppose it's a blow to the self-esteem for some). Flames are entertaining!

abusehahaha this is so funny. "t for the readers" hahaha very nice. i was always at a loss for what to put as a rating, so i just always put T because i'm like "meh. i'm a teen. whatever" haha. i'll have to browse the M section now to see how annoying it is. maybe i'll even rate something M to see how many reviews it gets.

abuseYou know, there really is a good advice. It seems to me you want it to have humor so it can stick to the memory. I like that...Wish my stories could have humor...I'm actually thinking of taking mine down and not putting them back up until there are a few chapters...I actualy have one I need to put on computer...It has nearly twenty chapters...Any, writing this review to you just gave me something else to do. I hope there will be more helpful 'chapters' to come!

abusehaha you're very insightful about all of this writing buisness. it's very enjoyable to read, especially because of your humor that you sneak in now and again. keep posting more stuff! just remember that it doesn't have to be perfect before you put it up. that's what reviews are for ;) i'm arguing about that with another fictionpress-er right now. haha. so just post up whatever you're writing. please! i'm starving for some good literature.
