Re: fanfic info

[(Anonymous)]

I'm not sure if there's specific information that I want to know but there's specific information that I don't want to know.

If a summary says something like "I suck at summaries" or "the fic is much better than the summary, I promise!" then I probably won't read the fic. That's how you choose to sell yourself? No thanks.

If a fic has a hundred tags where each is more inane than the last, then I definitely won't read the fic (this mostly applies to AO3). It just makes authors look dumb.

If the only thing in a summary is a song lyric or quote then I probably won't read the fic because I still have no idea what the fic is about. At least put something in addition to the quote.

Oh, yeah. And if it says "summary inside" or "just read it", yeah that is a great way to make sure I never will read it.

I know it can be hard to write a summary, so my advice is to imagine it in the style of a Don La Fontaine trailer. What sort of world is the protagonist living in, and what is he going to be doing about it. Chances are that will give you a decent enough summary for most folks.

Same. If you can't be bothered to write a decent summary, how do I know you can write a decent fic?

MTE. I'm not sure why anyone would just not leave a summary. Even if your summary isn't particularly interesting or good, I automatically skip fic without summaries, so you have a better chance of catching my attention if you just try.

I haaate the "I suck at summaries" summaries where the author tells you nothing else. Sometimes I'll give it a shot and click on it, hoping that there will be a more detailed summary in the author's notes but if they just end up saying something like: "lol I wrote this at 2am just so you know" and doesn't expand on the fic, I click out immediately.
