beccaelizabethI can't think of any summary for my fic that isn't either completely generic (*every* G/E writer does a post-Initiative fic) or a great big spoiler for the teaser / pre-credits bit at the start.
After that it rolls out with loads of twists that don't get given away in a sensible summary, but that first bit only has the one surprise, and it's sort of essential to the rest.
Actually, two surprises, which goes with the whole 2 theme.
ANYways
Shall I post the teaser and add summaries to subsequent parts?
Shall I go with the terribly generic for the first bit?
I also have the problem of trying to write a summary. At all. I'm sure I had a useful method filed around here somewhere, but I don't remember where.
I've got it down to three line TV guide blurb, but it came out all jokey, and the fic... isn't.
Also there's generic bad puns in it too. I think that needs changing.
If a three line summary could be all that brilliantly distinctive then stories wouldn't have to be so long.
*pouts*
Shall think on it some more.
While I'm wondering - I put a warning on my RFJ stories. Like, here. Does anyone read it? Anyone like it? Does it seem useful at all?
...Despite recent flapping, I do actually think stuff up myself. Is just the fiddly bits that I'm fussing over now.
