Types of fanfic summaries and what they mean
First paragraph of the actual fic: I judge the whole fic by the first words and I assume you do too so here it is
āJust a series or drabbles/headcanons/promptsā: Someday I want to write an incredible 200k fic but for now have fun going through all the chapters trying to figure out which one is the one you actually want to read
āWill X be able to find love before Y happens?ā And other questions: I read entirely too many YA novels
Quote from the actual fic: I watch entirely too many movie trailers
āBasically just an X fic with Y charactersā: I can probably write a good summary if I cared a little more
Song lyrics: I have no idea how summaries work and Iām trying to be like the people with poem quotes
Poem quotes: either the best thing youāve ever read or 13-year old English literature purple prose there is no in-between
Lol I canāt do summaries: Iām not entirely sure if I want you to read my fic
āWtf is thisā or other author questioning themselves: itās either porn or crack
Explicit rated fics: listen my man I know youāre not gonna really read the summary just read the tags and decide if my sin is the sin for you
Paragraph of tags and one line summary: ok listen I canāt do summaries but Iāve got this ok IVE GOT THIS
dictionary definition: fluff or angst here you go
Either a meme or a tumblr imagine your otp: I was bored and I had emotions about my ship you can have emotions about them too
Paragraph from the source the fic is from: Iāve basically written my headcanon and made it prettier
āIām so sorryā or āI cried while writing thisā : I was in a sad mood and I needed a healthy way to release these emotions so now y'all get to suffer
No summary: itās either porn or a small drabble and it all depends on the word count
Actual fic summary: *rocks back on old wheelchair* listen kid *smokes cigarette* Iāve seen and read a lot of things *blows smoke* and I know itās hard but thereās still hope in this world ok? *looks into the distance* also you might wanna read the tags because the chances of gore and/or character death being in my fic have gone from 0 to 75
