Discussion: summary. Do you ever struggle to summarise your fic? Do you find it easy? Do you have a way of doing it without giving anything away?

*not nagging* (honest!) the next two weeks are still available for hosting the check ins, if you can help out with either, let me know :)

I made some progress on my fic as well as on my art. I'm quite satisfied with the progress.

I don't have trouble with writing summaries, usually. Tags can be a lot harder for me, especially with ambiguous relationships. I like looking through AO3's tags, though, to see if I find something.

Once this week is over, I should have a normal life again, which means more time for writing. Whew!

I usually don't have too much trouble with summaries. I keep them short so I don't give anything away, but make them as interesting as possible so a reader will want to read.

*headscratch*

I wrote two stories in the past ... two or three days? I suddenly can't quite remember when they happened, but they did happen. Need to get my brain back in order.

Summaries are the devil. I do the bare minimum, probably because I can think back to having done a 200,000-word 'fic where most of the (... nine or ten) reviews I got on FFN were just asking me to write a clearer summary. Waste of both their time and mine.
