Discussion: I suck at summaries, then the rest of your fic must suck too (fanfic flamingo)
When you’re looking for a fic to read, do you ignore the ones that have the words “I suck at summaries”? Or do you try to read it? Do you use that phrase or similar in your own fic?
I tend to skip the fics with I suck at…. in the header/summary info because I’ve usually decided that the fic won't be worth reading.
When I haven’t been able to write a summary for my own fic, usually drabble length pieces, I tend to use not summarised due to length or a variation of that.
