I did a Citrinne paralogue comic over the past couple of months on my twitter! It's finally finished, so I'm cross posting it over here as well.

[pureauthor-blog]

So here's me with the only Hope(Fate) fic tag on the entirety of Ao3. (And by extension the only 'Castoria & Hope' relationship tag as well.)

I wish more people liked the specific blorbos I also like.

Types of AO3 Summary

Option 1 - The Excerpt:

The quickest, the easiest! Find a section of your fic that contains the main premise of said fic and also showcases your writing. Copy paste that into the summary box. BOOM! Done.

Best used for any fic, unless it's so short the excerpt would be the whole fic.

Option 2 - The No Frills:

Just a description of the fic. No need for drama. No need to complicate matters. Keep it simple, keep it safe.

Example: "A short character exploration of Blorbo's thoughts after Daisy leaves."

Best used for short fics, poems and fics where the style/format is more important than the plot. Or fics that tie directly into a scene/episode from canon or another fanfic.

Option 3 - The Hook:

Draw the reader's interest by giving them a set up with no conclusion. Introduce the main character(s), introduce the status quo, describe an inciting incident, leave a question in the reader's mind.

Example: "Blorbo is a barista at a coffee shop, struggling to pay their bills, but after handsome rockstar Obrolb walks into their coffee shop they find that they have to decide whether a chance at love is worth the cost of fame."

Best used for mid to long fic where there's a strong premise and follow through. Especially good for AUs. Can be expanded for more complex plots or used multiple times in one summary for multiple characters or subplots.

Option 4 - The Sitcom One-Liner:

"The one in which [over simplified description of one of the main plotlines]" This is essentially 'boil your plot down to the very simplest statement you can, oversimplify if possible. The more bizarre or unhelpful the better.

Example: "The one in which Blorbo learns to like cake".

Best used for fics with at least a little humour in them.

Option 5 - The Rule of Three:

Three is a magic number. Find three key moments in your fic and just list them. That's it. Often ends with 'not necessarily in that order' if used for comic effect. If it's an AU, establish that quickly (i.e. 'Star NHL player Blorbo…').

Example: "Blorbo makes a friend, falls in love, and almost burns to death, not necessarily in that order."

Best used for anything, really. Three is a magic number. The human brain loves things that come in threes.

Option 6 - The Trope Lure:

Why bother describing the plot? We all know AO3 readers are here for the tropes. Similar to The Sitcom One-Liner just using tropes instead of plot. Often followed by the phrase 'that nobody asked for'.

Example: "The Space western/ABO/Mail Order Bride fic that nobody asked for."

Often tacked on to the end of The Hook or The Excerpt as a tl;dr.

Best used for fic that plays its tropes straight with no shame or second guessing.

Option 7 - The Pre-emptive Strike:

(Not recommended) You just wrote this fic, the self doubt is consuming you. You feel the need to apologise profusely for your existence for no apparently reason. You feel cringe, you think the fic is cringe, you want everyone to know that you think the fic is cringe in case they don't like it and judge you for it.

Example: "So I fell in love with this pairing and had to write this. It's weird and terrible. Lol! I suck at summaries! Sorry!"

Best used for no fics ever. I cannot stress this enough.

(Seriously, I am begging you, don't do this. If you're planning to use this option, rethink it and do one of the others. I guarantee you more people will want to read your fic.)

Sometimes added on to any other summary as a strange disclaimer. (srsly. don't.)

Option 8 - The Unapology:

Embrace the mayhem, embrace the deep dark depths of your soul. The opposite of The Pre-emptive Strike. A combination of The No Frills and The Trope Lure that truly gives no fucks.

You have committed crimes and you are proud of them. You know what your USP is and you're going to make sure your target market finds you. Look upon my works, ye readers, and despair!

Example: "There aren't enough tentacle fics in this pairing, so I had to write one myself!"

Best used for fics with controversial/polarising tropes with all relevant details already clearly stated in the tags.

Option 9 - The Interrogation:

What if you wrote a summary entirely in questions? What if your readers had to read the fic to discover the answers? Who knows what will happen if you do this?

Example: "What happens when Blorbo McBlorbo gets his wish and Daisy doesn't make it to the plane on time? What happens when Obrolb finds out? How will this change Daisy and Blorbo's friendship?"

Best used for... I honestly don't know. This style of summary does not vibe with me. Mystery fic maybe? Sorry guys.

Option 10 - The Multipack:

Got a bunch of shorter fics in one work? No way of summarising them all without a wall of text larger than the Great Wall of China? This one is similar to The No Frills in that you're not describing the plots themselves and similar to The Trope Lure in that often broader genres and tropes are mentioned. What links those fics? Are they all in the same fandom? The same pairing? The same challenge? Just slap that right in the summary. A chapter list with 1-2 word trope/pairing summaries can be included or not.

Example: "A collection of Blorbo/Daisy/Obrolb fics based on Tumblr prompts. Chapter 1: Regency AU Chapter 2: Werewolves vs vampires Chapter 3: Ghost!Daisy Chapter 4: Space pirates!"

Best used for (obviously) works that are compilations of fic.

Option ? - The Void:

I said The Excerpt was the quickest and easiest summary to do. I lied, well... I didn't exactly lie. What is quicker and easier than not having a summary at all? After all, that's what the tags are for.

Example:

Best used for... nothing? Write a summary, guys. Please?

Unsorted Headcanons/Ideas for the Akko/Diana Childhood Friends fics I will write one day I swear

- Akko is Diana’s biggest fan and is convinced she’ll revolutionize the magic world sooner or later.

- Whenever Akko praises or compliments Diana it sounds like the confession scene from a bad romance novel. Both of them remain oblivious about how it looks to everyone else

- DIana associates Akko with being the last remnant from a time when her childhood was still happy. She is thus overprotective of her to a fault.

- Despite that she also has extreme difficulty saying ‘No’ whenever Akko does the puppy dog/starry eyes routine.

- Akko cast her first ever spell while visiting Diana’s house for a birthday party and Diana offered to teach her some basic magic (in secret, obviously, because the grownups would find something to complain about). Neither of them notice it only works when Diana is holding Akko’s hand to steady the grip on her wand.

- Akko subconsciously considers that spell (a bog-standard ball of light meant to ease beginner witches into casting magic) as ‘their’ magic, and it’s her go-to spell for facing any new challenges.

- Hannah and Barbara still mock Akko for being a clueless newbie to the world of magic. It lasts until Diana gets wind of it and puts the fear of the Nine into both of them.

- Amanda sees Akko as one of Diana’s flunkeys and doesn’t get along with her, at least at first.

- When Diana finds out Sucy is testing her drugs on Akko the resulting feud reaches a unprecedented threshold: For the first (and only?) time in her life, Diana pranks someone.

- Diana finds that Lotte is one of the very few students she can actually discuss theories on white magic and sprite behaviours with. They quickly become friends.

- DIana scores top marks in Croix’s Modern Magic class as usual, but her complete lack of engagement in the classroom is palpable. Akko gets annoyed that Diana doesn’t seem to appreciate the new opportunities offered by Croix’s machines and argues with her over it.

- Diana gifts Akko Shiny Chariot merchandise for her birthday every year. Akko would love to do the same but after Chariot disappeared a lot of her remaining merchandise became collector’s items and she can’t afford to buy them as gifts. She creates homemade custom Chariot trading cards instead as gifts for Diana. She's secretly worried that Diana is just humouring her.

- Diana adores those cards and displays them in a private collection.
