super simple low-effort ao3 summary methods that are 1000% better and 1000% less annoying than just saying you suck at summaries:
copypaste the first few lines of the fic. u already wrote ‘em. let ‘em be their own damn hook
if ur feeling fancy & don’t mind showing ur hand a bit, copypaste the first few lines of the fic that u feel are esp. Important or Interesting - the ones where u first start getting into the real meat of things
state the main tropes! theyre probably already in ur tags - just say them again - maybe as a full sentence if ur feelin fancy. or with a joke if ur feelin Extra fancy
ask a question. pose a hypothetical. eg what happens if u take [character] and put them in [situation]?
make an equation. [character] + [thing] = [outcome]
just write like a one-sentence summary of what the fuck is going down. just one (1) sentence. doesnt matter if it doesn’t cover every important aspect. or if it sounds bland. any summary sentence is gonna be miles better than “idk i suck at summaries”
just…explain the fic like u would to a friend? it doesnt have to be a polished back of the book blurb. it can just be “[pairing] coffee shop au, but like, still with murder, and also i made everyone trans. enjoy”
just stick a meme in there
honestly who cares
just put literally anything but a self deprecating comment in there & ur golden
#i go with the second one a lot#all these are great ideas that i’m def going to look at again next time i post a fic and get stuck on the summary#for future reference#writing crap

do you prefer lemons or limes?
what is your favorite fruit?
what are your thoughts on chocolate covered peanuts
thank you for these, vicky! ❤️
limes for sure! i'm not really a citrussy person tbh, but if i had the option with drink flavour, i'd go lime because it's got a bit more of something to it, if that makes sense?
bananas!! i have one for breakfast every morning (i did forget to eat breakfast twice this week though, and boy did my stomach tell me about it on the way to work)
yes, yes, and YES! if it's dark chocolate, i am 100% there too 😍
message me (3) things you want to know about me
#this sounds odd but whilst on the citrus topic#i like actual oranges#but anything orange flavoured is a big ick for me?#also don't @ me but during the week my breakfast does solely consist of a banana 🙈#playingfetchwithdinosaurs#ask#about sami

we’ve got students at work writing thank you notes for thank a teacher day and i had these given to me this afternoon

#some of my year 10s were shits today so it was nice to get those#the last two cracked me up#all three are from students in my favourite class and the that form have gone a bit rogue lately#the first one is one of the nicest ones in there#i teach them for 2 subjects so the poor things see me for 6 hours a fortnight#which is as much as their english maths and science teachers 😬#teacher tag

nothing like finishing a huge task you've been working on for about 10 days and your brain going "well, what do we do now?"
#just finished marking all my students' assessments and putting the data on the system ahead of the deadline tomorrow morning#i need to go to bed within the next 40 minutes#i'm physically tired but my mind is so annoyingly alert rn#this happens to me way too often#one of many reasons why i'm certain i've got adhd#teacher tag

Remnants of the British Black Panther’s Lost Legacy
#history#black panther movement#we look at civil rights with year 8 at work#can’t remember if we have anything on this as part of it but if not i’m tempted to ask if we can include at least one lesson on it

You can and should write fanfiction that isn't perfect. You can and should write whatever fanfiction you want. You can and should write fanfiction that brings you joy even if it's silly or goofy or weird.
Except for me. My fanfic has to be perfect and read like a novel and ruin at least one person's sleep schedule.

If you haven’t changed your url in years tell me why as someone in your same boat it’s for science
#i’m very attached to it?#it’s been over ten years and it’s like my identity now so I can’t change it#it’s a niche reference but i still do love the character whose surname it is every inch as much as i did all that time ago#even though i don’t post about him anywhere near as much as i used to#the love is still there
