Bienvenidos, Aloha, Nǐ Hǎo, Zdravstvuj, Hello!

I hope you were able to do something fic related since yesterday's post.

What did you do, anyway?

~ I wrote
~ I edited
~ I posted
~ I beta read
~ I read fic for enjoyment
~ I did nothing...

Please share your accomplishments or your disappointments.

Discussion topic . . . So. When perusing archives or comms or whatever for a fic to read, what types of things in the fic headers or descriptions or author's notes will keep you from reading that fic?

Comments

I posted today! I actually have a bit of a backlog of posting, so I may do more of that. I've also committed myself to writing something today -- feels like it's going to be a good day for it somehow. ;-)

I also did some reading of fic (other people's) and I hope to post some comments to what I've read at some point today.

Discussion topic: The main thing that will keep me from reading a fic is if the author states in the description something to the effect of "This summary sucks." I figure that if a writer can't even come up with a summary to describe what's been written, then the story can't be much better! Sometimes I look, but I'm almost always disappointed. Also, poor grammar and spelling in the intro makes me hesitant to read, but it's not always something that stops me. If the idea of the story is intriguing, I'll have a look anyway.
