"i suck at summaries": a dubiously helpful list of tips for how to do a summaries

by no means am i an expert. but in the hopes that this is helpful.

fic summaries have two main purposes:

tell a reader what the premise of your fic is in one glance, and

provide a 'hook' that convinces them to click on it.

based on those two purposes, here's what you should aim to do:

pack the key information into something that can be read while scrolling, and

make your fic stand out.

how do you do that. there are many different ways. ymmv. here are some starting points which may help if you are really, truly stuck.

details under the cut. in summary:

know your premise

keep it short and sharp

demonstrate your style

1: can you describe your premise in maximum three lines?

fewer is better. im not saying your summary has to BE fewer than three lines, you just need to be able to describe the premise as concisely as possible. not the whole fic. not everything that happens. just your premise.

being able to condense your ideas this way will improve your understanding of the work and make it easier to summarise.

sometimes it's a bit hard to isolate what exactly your premise is, especially if you were just writing into the void. so here are some questions you can ask yourself to figure it out:

what was the idea that spurred you to write the fic?

what is the climactic action in the fic?

if the fic is an au, canon divergence, what if, etc - what is the point of difference between this and canon?

if the fic is based around a trope, a genre, a particular device - how did you apply it, what makes the work familiar, and what makes it different?

this is important, because:

2: brevity is the soul of wit

now that you know your premise, it's time to jazz it up. turn it into a one-liner or similarly catchy pitch. give it a makeover.

it doesn't have to be literally one line. however, do not make your summary super long. do not make either your summary or your tags a massive block of text. the reader is scrolling. they have not yet decided to invest time in your fic.

the ideal summary is stylish and concise. your reader should be able to take it in without pausing for too long. it gives them a good impression of you: you know how to be economical with your sentences, which means your writing is probably easy and enjoyable to read.

and on that note:

3: including an excerpt is always an option

an optional option. but if you're stuck, it's a free card to play.

readers want to know that your writing style matches what they like to read. showing off your style can help you stand out to an interested reader.

try and find a few lines which are representative of the premise, representative of your style, and sufficiently intriguing. an excerpt is a try before you buy. you just wrote a whole fic. you want people to read the whole fic and enjoy your work. so show them what you have to offer.

what is an example, postmaker

look im not more qualified to give this advice than anyone else, but here's what i do if it helps. i typically pick out a short excerpt and include a short pitch underneath it. that way the reader knows what i sound like and what the fic is about.

here is a baldur's gate 3 fic summary

shadowheart says, “kill l–” “not lae’zel, darling, it’s too obvious. in fact, both of you are banned from killing each other.” astarion thinks for a moment. “in the game, at least.” -- the gang plays fuck, marry, kill.

this fic has a basic premise and hinges on dialogue, so i picked some sample dialogue to demonstrate what my grasp on the character dynamics looks like and then added one line to explain what the fic is about.

here is a death note fic summary (death note spoilers) (i guess)

The night Ryuzaki dies, L appears in Light's bed. -- (every night when light goes to sleep, his dreams place him in a romantic relationship with his newly-dead rival. it makes him sick.)

this fic has a more abstract premise, so i picked a short excerpt to demonstrate what the tone of the fic is (a bit mysterious). then i added two lines: just enough information to explain what the catalyst of the fic is, but no more than that, so that the reader will be intrigued.

here is a persona 5 fic summary

Ren grins. “You want me to date Goro?” “Pretend-date Goro,” Ann corrects. “And make his crush jealous.” “This is not going to work,” Goro says. “Sure, I’ll do it,” says Ren, still grinning. He does his own rendition of Ann’s eyelash bat. “Go out with me, Goro-kun?” “I’m older than you, so show me a little respect,” Goro says crossly. “Our relationship is off to a bad start, Ren-kun.” -- (or: what not to do when you're fake-dating your real crush.)

this fic is based on a premise everyone knows well (fake-dating trope), so i picked dialogue that samples the tone of the fic and of the key relationship so that readers can decide if i write the dynamic in a way they personally vibe with. then i added a line to tell them what the trope is, so that fake-dating trope enjoyers know that's what it is.

anyway. hope that helps

REQUESTS UPDATE ღ (pls read!)

Hello, beautiful people. Firstly, thank you so much for sticking with me after my (nearly) year-long break. I don't want to go on for too long regarding why I was off; it was as simple as being burnt out from writing, wanting to read more and working full-time.

I absolutely love writing and have been doing these little fanfictions for nearly 4 years (which is crazy to me!). Over that time, I have written 175 one-shots (WTF). I honestly have put more effort and love into writing than I probably did my uni degree (no regrets).

So this is where I come from a place of peace and love and when I say I appreciate every like, comment, interaction, follow etc, it means the absolute world to me. Truthfully, it is hard to come onto a website and fear what others might say to me because I might look ungrateful.

What I'm trying to get at is that I have written 31 Poly!Marauders fics & 37 mafia!stucky fics. I love both of these worlds so much; however, I have repeatedly written these two over and over again, and at some point along the way, I've become a little burnt out with them. There are only so many ways I can write about them both. The issue is that I have my requests open, and the only requests I will receive are for either group. AGAIN, I appreciate every single one, and I absolutely love and feel honoured that you all love these small worlds I've created and want to see more. However, I'm finding it increasingly more difficult to find the motivation to write for them. This is not to say I'm never going to write for them again because that's a giant lie, I currently have 4 requests that I will write that are marauders/stucky however I just need to vent what I'm thinking.

I would love to write for different characters, more fandoms or even just one character out of the groups, just anything to mix up my content. It's difficult as I love requests, but as soon as they're open, I know I'm just going to get marauders or stucky requests, so I'm stuck in the same cycle of ONLY posting these as I like to complete requests ASAP. I could just stop accepting requests and write what I want to write, but again, I love having requests and removing that option will be a last resort.

I'm not really sure what I'm asking, and I'm not even sure that anyone who sends requests will even read this, but on my blog, I just want to vent for a moment, please. I don't know whether I'm just going to sound rude or if anyone else understands what I mean?

Anyway, again, I love you all and I do appreciate any request sent my way.

Request Rules;

Please don't hesitate to ask/message about writing different characters and shows. I'm happy to write for lots of other characters as long as I know who they are, I'm happy to try.

Please don’t ask for Part 2 of stories unless you give me specific details. I’ve written over 100 one-shots, so it’s hard to come up with an idea sometimes for Part 2’s when the stories were initially meant to just be one-shots. I’m happy to do P2; just give me a little thought or something!

Additionally, I need more than just “character name - angst”; my old creative brain needs a little more juice and idea, so please be as specific as possible, even if it’s just a sentence!

I really appreciate if you loved a specific fic that I’ve already written, but if you ask for the same fic again or something extremely similar, I probably won’t be able to write it as I don’t want to just keep writing the exact same fic.

I may not be able to write all ideas if they don’t usually match my writing style, or I do not think I could make them exciting (sorry in advance if I don’t write your ideas!)

I especially don’t want to write anything to do with marriage/weddings, pregnancy, birth or characters having children, so please do not ask.

Please don’t send multiple asks with the same request, I’m only one person working full time, so I’m not able to write every hour of every day. Give me some time to write them, and also, as stated above, it might be something I don’t necessarily want to write, so please respect this.

Sorry for all the negativity. If you have actually read this, thank you. And anyone who interacts with my posts or blog THANK YOU & I LOVE YOU.

He won't let me leave.

Well thank fuck for him, then.

Damien was grateful even if Josh wasn't.

"Well, we got something in common then." Damien and this other. He gave a small smile, an acknowledgement of what a thorn he'd been in Josh's side yesterday, for what he'd refused to allow him.

..I think I'd miss it.

In the end, it's all you though.. isn't it? Josh almost seemed to know that.

And Damien's asked a question he can work with, and gives a soft huff through his nose, dropping his head to nod at the other's request.

"Yeah, I can lay it on thick, huh?" He didn't feel a need to be so harsh right now though, because neither of them were getting bullshitted.

So how did Damien do it.

"I do.. a lot of what I do for you, for me.

When I'm the asshole who doesn't give you what you want?" He gave his own chest a tap. "I'm calling bullshit on myself.. constantly.

And whenever I can't tell if it's bullshit, I ask myself if it feeds that.. destructive hungry thing.

If what it wants me to think, or do, would take away something I don't want. Make it get bigger and stronger or.. sound more right.

I'm, an addict. Y'know? I lie."

He frowned, working through the imperfect tool he's used to make all this make sense, the years of unpacking what did and did not work.

"We've talked about the shame stuff." Josh hadn't agreed with him then, about the way shame as a motivator, it burned away your way back out of the pit.

"I.. refuse to let it keep secrets that make me feel ashamed. From me or.. anybody else." He shook his head.

"It fucking sucks, every time." What, was he gonna lie and say it was fun? He got embarrassed as much as the next guy.

"But when I catch me on something that's bullshit, because I'm scared to look at.. the actions of a hurtful, selfish person as my actions,

I have to own up." He brought his shoulders up and down.

Maybe this is too heady, he wonders if Josh is following. He sits more forward on his chair, rests his feet flat on the ground.

"My nephew called me out, back in Madripoor.

I'd given him, a version of the truth. About why I abandoned him, and why.. I kept making the choice not to come back.

And I figured what I'd told him before was enough, y'know but he was standing there, so.." He made a motion with his hand in front of his chest, like he couldn't describe.

"...So hurt.

Just, so hurt." He sighed.

"I did that." A nod. The black hole that ate and ate, the destruction in the name of his own survival? In the end, it was still just Damien.

"That.. black hole, was still in me. Hurting the kid by giving him something less than the truth.

So I had to make myself, know that. Had to tell him, that I didn't come back, because I was scared.

Because I was vain.

Selfish, I didn't want him looking at me different. Telling myself I was saving them by staying away; when the truth was that I find what I did.. just unforgivable.

So unforgivable I didn't give them that option."

One it had turned out, they'd wanted so much. For so many years.

"--See what I mean?

Caught the lie.

Found out it was feeding on the shame, on the kid. Had to fess up."

Yeah, it fucking sucked. But then Damien had done it again with the boy's mother just the other day, and now here he was.. doing it again.

"Gets.. easier after the first time." If you were strict with yourself, and Damien was.

Who could be two people at once?

No one.

Damien couldn't continue to escape what he was running from, couldn't feed the emptiness clawing for more and more.. and stay home to be a son, a brother, a godparent.

He'd walked away that day.

He'd heard the kid, and he hadn't even stopped to pause in his leaving.

"No, you weren't. Neither was he."

He nodded thoughtfully, gazing at the floor a moment to consider the weight of what they were discussing.

"But you don't work at SHIELD anymore, and he's still around.

What for..?"

Because the danger wasn't gone?

Because Josh was still trying to get himself killed?

The question he asks is a genuine one, wondering if the other has a clear answer that he knows.

Feeling a range of Schmidt-like rage in this downstairs living room tonight

[rockethorse]

The basegame wedding dress has a pregnancy morph??

[tumblweeds-omegaverse]

random omegaverse thought:

There must be people who experience specific instinct things with indifference or boredom.

Procreative cycle coming up? "Crap, I've got plans this weekend...stupid skip weeks."

Caught an intriguing scent while walking? "But I need to get to work! Shut up brain."

Had a snap response to a distressed sound? "Who was it?! ...right, it's my day off, I can go back to sleep."

Somebody growled at them? "Kid, I'm not a rival, that's my sibling."

Super cozy cuddle session happening nearby? "I'm gonna pass tonight guys, no social battery left, maybe next time."

Group of friends heading out to flirt and check out other singles? "I'm coming with you but only to make sure you all get home safe."

Setting where fated mates or soul bonds or permanent marks are a thing? "Meh. I don't really want one or care if I ever get one."

People in the actual omegaverse would get as bored of their stuff, as we do of ours, you know? It could be interesting to see that kind of vibe in fics. Biological demands faced with all the excitement of paying bills or doing laundry or tying your shoes.

Even if that kind of energy might not drive a plot, it could be interesting to have as a contrast to the people who do have big feelings about them - good or bad.

There's the friends who can't wait til they have a pack of their own, and the one friend who isn't against it but couldn't care less. There's the group in the office who are all about scent compatibility tests and figuring out one's best match and what sprays most highlight it, and the coworker who has no intentions on putting that much effort in. There are parents who hover and protect their offspring by scenting them multiple times a day, and others who don't see what the fuss is as long as it's done in the morning.

...also: packs with introverts who show care by giving each other space. So often, closeness is depicted through physical touch and tactile affection, but comfortable silence is meaningful too. Knowing people are near, but not having to interact until you're ready. Sitting in the same room doing different things, knowing that all it takes is a "hey, look at this" to share what you're up to. People understanding and accepting each other's differing or fluctuating needs for how and when to recharge. Seeing somebody reaching out or sharing space, beyond what's their norm, as a signal of the fact that they care.

[vanpalmerenthusiast]

thank you for the tag this is super fun!! we all need a group yellowjackets geek out session baddddd

honestly this is really hard to pick between, because there are so many things that have happened pointing both ways, but i’m gonna go with rational. i think with yellowjackets it gets to a point where our girls become unreliable narrators, especially from lottie or shauna’s povs. and i think many of them want to have some supernatural explanation for why they’re all acting the way they are out there, but really it’s all in their heads. i just feel like it would be so ironic to find out that the symbols really didn’t mean anything, or there were never any spirits listening to them, and they truly just all went fucking crazy!!

2. omg this is also so hard because i love them all 😞😞 for teen timeline im gonna have to go with van (we all saw that coming) because i just adore the way liv hewson plays her, and since my first watch i felt so connected to her character, i just love her with my whole heart. and favorite adult timeline character, i gotta say my girl misty, i love her crazy ass she’s just like snorting peoples cocaine and committing manslaughter

3. super hard to choose between jackie’s cannibalism scene with “climbing up the walls” by radiohead or when they’re bringing back dead javi and “zombie” by the cranberries plays. i’ll say “zombie” just because of like the pure joy i felt when i heard the first chords of the song play, it went perfectly with that scene and i love the cranberries like crazy, i had the same reaction when they played “dreams” in the first season

4. taivan next question

5. probably doomcoming (ep 9 szn 1), blood hive (ep 5 szn 1), or storytelling (ep 9 szn 2). i have so many more i want to pick this is SO DIFFICULT

6. i want it to be someone that nobody expected, like taissa, van, akilah, even melissa or gen (if they make it that far). all the lottie, nat and shauna theories are great, but it this is really set in the last winter (and not a hallucination of it being winter) then they’ll have moved on from nat being the leader, and probably shauna too. i also like the theory that the antler queen is the biggest mourner of whoever died, and it changes with every kill.

7. i also have so many options for this one, but my top three are the bacchanal feast during the cannibalism of jackie- hunger, pretty dresses, RADIOHEAD, it has everything. next is definitely natalie’s death scene, even though it makes me cry every time. i love love love when she’s on the plane with her younger self, javi, and especially when lottie puts her hand on natalie’s heart like THE WRITERS WERE COOKING HERE!! and then the first taivan sex scene, because when tai takes off vans mask and calls her beautiful and van does that little giggle like guys you’re so fucking cute do you want me to die 😭 also i love the fact that all the other girls are sacrificing travis to the wilderness and they’re just in the woods somewhere eating each other out. peak lesbianism if i’ve ever seen it.

8. that the pit girl scene is really set during the spring/summer (season 3), and that they’re no longer killing people because they have to, but because they want to. pit girl’s death being in the winter is just what they’re convincing themselves is happening, that they’re killing her out of necessity when really, they have enough game and enough food- they’ve all just become attuned something primal and horrifying out there that none of them really want to accept.

9. shauna. by a mile. i have no coping mechanisms (or the ones i have are just bad), im a d1 yearner, and the homoerotic friendships have definitely gotten the best of me x. i think the only reason that shauna isn’t my favorite yj character is because she reminds me of myself so much. i’m also super jackie core because i’m a femme lesbian who would 1000% be the first to get cannibalized given my plane crashed in the canadian rockies.

10. i feel like i haven’t done anything CRAZY, per se, i just like hyperfixate over it a crazy amount. i’m always trying to convince everyone to watch it, i do not stop talking about it, i’ve been watching it on repeat FOREVER- i think the craziest thing i’ve done is just be insufferably fucking annoying over it.

11. i don’t hate jeff. he’s like not a terrible guy 😭 and although i don’t ship him and shauna at all, you can’t deny how much that man loved her. he was willing to go to jail for the murder of the guy she cheated on him with, for christs sake!! everything he did on that show was for shauna, and for callie. he’s a family man and a girl dad at heart and we can’t hate him for that!!

no pressure tags: @cassioo @dearanhedonia @fearsomeandwrong @jackiespurnell @stqrca @rileyhartsbf @redcherrypies @natsboygirlfriend @starsandgoodness and anyone else who sees this and wants to participate!!

Starting a Yellowjackets tag!

I want to get my mind off of things so: If you want, answer any or all of the questions below and tag 10 people (or however many you want) who also might want to share! I would love to see what you guys have to say!

1. Are you team Rational or Supernatural?

2. Who is your favorite teen timeline character? Favorite adult timeline character?

3. What is your favorite needledrop?

4. What is your favorite ship?

5. What is your favorite episode?

6. Who do you want the Antler Queen to be?

7. What is your favorite scene in the entire series?

8. A theory or prediction you have about Season 3?

9. Which character do you relate to the most, and why?

10. What is the craziest thing you’ve done in the name of Yellowjackets?

Bonus:

11. What’s your most controversial Yellowjackets take?

—

Here’s mine!

1. I am mostly Team Rational because I love the way this show depicts trauma but I also love seeing the supernatural side of things through the survivors’ eyes if that makes sense.

2. Natalie in the teen timeline because I love her compassion and softness underneath the front she puts on. Lottie in the adult timeline because I love her internal battle with herself and how afraid she is of her own mind. Misty is a close second in the adult timeline!

3. “Cornflake Girl” playing while Nat sees the mossy tree for the first time, Callie seeing the Adam Martin driver’s license in the barbecue, and Shauna eating Jackie’s ear. It just goes so perfectly with everything that’s going on (especially the elevated piano while Nat and Travis are scaling the mountain and the lyrics while Shauna takes the bite!)

4. LottieNat is my favorite ship I can’t help it Nat and Lottie are my favorite characters so having them together is a dream (TaiVan, JackieShauna, and TravNat are up there, too).

5. 1x09 “Doomcoming” is just amazing and captures everything I love about Yellowjackets. I love when they let the girls go batshit crazy, hoping we get more Doomcoming vibes in S3.

6. I want the Antler Queen to be Natalie because that would show a true descent for her in the Wilderness from being the most morally grounded one to the leader of the group at their most unhinged and primal. But honestly I think that Shauna might be the AQ after all…

7. I think the Jackie-eating scene is the best in the entire show. The “Climbing Up the Walls” song choice, the bacchanal feast flashes as a way of coping with the horror of what they’re doing, seeing them go fully feral for the first time, it’s such a well crafted scene.

8. I know this probably won’t happen but I’m just going to throw it out there that Cabin Daughter is alive and she will be revealed to have been Javi’s “friend”!

9. I relate to Shauna the most because I also admittedly have a bit of an obsessive/intense personality and I, too, internalize my emotions to a very unhealthy degree sometimes. I also grew up being in love with my childhood best friend who is very, very much like Jackie (and now we have been dating for 7 years!)

10. Mine is a mix of going to a Yellowjackets panel and sitting like 5 feet from the showrunners, doing everything in my power to score early screening tickets to Heretic and Companion, and pretending I was sick so I could go home early from work the day that the S3 trailer came out.

11. The male characters on this show get too much hate🫢 I like Travis, Jeff, Kevyn, and Walter (even though his introduction and storyline are rushed and forced). I don’t like them more than the female characters, but I like them nevertheless and appreciate their contributions to the plot.

No pressure tags!

I want a Charcoal Cookie

I mean, you can have activated charcoal in food, like charcoal cheddar, black ice cream, other things I can’t find (without the internet telling me there was some sort of trend about putting it in food, I’m just looking for actual food with it). So I mean, it works if you need the Cookies to be made of something edible

Also, maybe with charcoal being burnt wood, they could have a connection to Millennial Tree Cookie? Like, they were once a part of his forest, or even a branch from his tree, that got burnt into charcoal and then turned into a Cookie? And maybe they hold resentment for it? I dunno, just a neat idea pertaining to it I had

And also I want to make a joke about them eating wood to like, keep their powers active, like they have fire powers and they need to eat wood to keep it burning. But also they just eat sticks. Like yes, they eat other food, but they will just chomp on a twig

Just a random thing

I need Leonard and Cain to do toxic yaoi together...the two of them deserved more interaction in general

//YOU GET IT OMG YOU F U C K I N G GET IT //It's the duality. It's the difference in background and how they deal with tragedy and how that's absolutely APPALLING to both, because Leonard, who has and is dealing with a deep sense of wanting to inflict violence on the inside, and Caim, who just wants peace and to have never dealt with any of that on the inside, SEE the other's outward actions doing just the opposite and both are reminded of JUST how much they're trying to ignore that part they see in the other inside of them and how they're trying to put that down and HERE this motherfucker is, just doing it //AND ITS THE SENSE OF SOLIDARITY THESE VERY DIFFERENT PEOPLE FROM VERY DIFFERENT BACKGROUNDS GET WHEN THEY SEE THAT, BECAUSE BEYOND LOSING THEIR FAMILY TO THE EMPIRE WHICH BRANG THEM UNDER THE UNION'S CAUSE THEY'RE BOTH OLDER BROTHERS WHO KNOW DEEP DOWN WHAT IT'S LIKE TO FRET OVER AND CARE FOR YOUR YOUNGER SIBLING, OUTSIDE NUMBNESS TO THOSE FEELINGS BY OUTWARD CIRCUMSTANCES BE DAMNED. THEYRE BOTH PART OF A VERY SMALL MINORITY WHO HAVE MADE A PACT, AND EVEN SMALLER OF THE ONES WITH SOME SEMBLENCE OF A MIND LEFT AFTER DOING DO. THAT THEY BOTH CAME OUT OF THEIR TRAUMA AS THE ONLY ONES LEFT FULLY UNTOUCHED AND ARE BOTH STRUGGLING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE FUCK TO DO WITH THAT, AND THAT LATER ON THEY BOTH FIND SOMEONE TO CARE FOR IMMENSELY THAT THEY'RE FUNDAMENTALLY INCOMPATIBLE WITH THAT GIVES THEM THEIR REAL SENSE OF WORTH AFTER THE WAR AND THE PROFOUND ISOLATION FROM BEING SO FAR DEEP IN YOUR OWN HEAD AND TRAUMA AND KNOWING THE STUPID PIDDLING WRECK OF A HERMIT OR THE NEEDLESSLY VIOLENT BLOODTHIRSTY CRACKHEAD MERCENARY NEXT TO YOU CAN SHARE IN THAT GRIEF BUT AT THE SAME TIME IS A MIRROR INTO YOURSELF AND WHAT YOU CAN BE THAT YOU REALLY DON'T WANT TO SEE //ITS ABOUT THE PROJECTION. IT'S ABOUT THE DIFFERENCES THAT FORCE THEM TO LOOK INTO THEIR OWN SELF AND THEIR INABILITY TO COPE WITH THAT AND WHY THAT MAKES THEM FUCKING HATE EACH OTHER, BUT ALSO THE COMPANY AND RELATABILITY TO EACH OTHER'S POSITIONS THAT DRIVES THEM TO THAT AWKWARD STALEMATE. ITS ABOUT THE MISLED "I CAN FIX HIM"'S MEANING TWISTED BUT WELL-INTENTIONED "I CAN MAKE HIM MORE LIKE ME THE WAY I WANT SO I DON'T HAVE TO BE SCARED ANYMORE" ON BOTH SIDES FROM PEOPLE WHO CAN'T EVEN FIX THEMSELVES BECAUSE THEY CAN'T LET GO, AND THEN MY FAVOURITE PART

//HOW THAT RESULTS IN PSYCHICAL VIOLENCE AND/OR LOATHING AND RESENTMENT AND DISGUST. i watch this scene with SUCH yaoi-tinted glasses anon you don't even know
