Re: Things you wish fanfic authors would/wouldn't do

A hook is merely something that catches a person's interest. If there's nothing that catches my interest in the summary, I'm not going to read the fic.

This is why I think teaching the concept of a "hook" is bullshit. It encourages people to put gimmicky advert-speak in their writing in the false belief that that's how to correctly catch readers' interest. Actually, what catches somebody's interest is going to be, yknow, content. I have never read a fic because somebody put a hokey rhetorical question in the summary to "hook" me in. I have, however, read them because the summary hinted at some fuckery that appealed to me.

You are not really grasping what a hook is. A hokey rhetorical question could qualify as a type of hook, but not all hooks are hokey rhetorical questions. You're basically complaining about how horrible all fruits are because you don't like bananas.

The hint in the plot summary about some fuckery that interested you? That's the hook.
