so being in a smaller fandom has made me realize that plenty of otherwise talented fic writers genuinely DO just suck at writing summaries. so ive compiled a couple quick tips

as unintuitive as this might seem, you do NOT want to describe your fic in any real detail in the summary. AO3 summaries function much differently than the blurb on the back of a book. they’re more like a movie tagline. they should be short and intriguing, but not necessarily that informative

if you want to go into a little more detail, a good place to do that is the AUTHOR NOTES. this is a multi function lil section. this is also the correct place to bemoan how long it took you to write this fic, talk about what inspired it, warn readers that there might be grammar errors because your beta fell off a horse, go into detail about warnings, or anything else that takes your fancy. DO NOT put any of this in your summary!! summary is purely to lure readers in

don’t restate your tags in the summary. if your fic is tagged explicit and character/character, you’ve already explained that it’s porn about a specific pairing. no need to say it twice

if you want to practice, start paying close attention to what the summaries on the fics you read are like. what about them drew you in? imitate it

if you can think of a snappy 1-3 sentence elevator pitch style summary of your fic, that’s perfect (shorter and snappier the better). if you can’t, comb through the fic, pick out what you think is the best line or lines (that make sense out of context) and make that your summary

congratulations you are now good at summaries

Hollow. Halsin remembers now. He had returned, they were successful, and then- and now he’s here, wherever that is. Perhaps Halsin lost something in the Shadowfell, or maybe it was all his imagination.

Thaniel stares at him amongst the tall grass, blinking.

“Have you forgotten how to play, Halsin?”

The image of Astarion as flamboyant Dracula was too much to ignore. So have this.

[beaft]

for years i attended knight school in hopes of becoming a hero who rescues beautiful maidens from danger (wyrms, wolves etc). unfortunately due to Feminism the maidens have all started rescuing themselves thus rendering me obsolete

[nerdintheforest]

There appear to be fresh openings in the wyrm/wolf companion careers. Are you allergic to dogs, gold, or fine silks?

[beaft]

all three 😔

[earhartsease]

thou could'st cut out ye middle manne and become a maiden?

[beaft]

verily, i have tried this but was ryte terrible at it

[silent-browser]

Mayhaps thyne attempt be short lived. Think upon the chances of trying once more. Practice improves.

[beaft]

forsooth you sound just like my mother

[silent-browser]

Quite the query indeed. Ah, a thought has't granted me illumination. Has't thou ever considered ventures into the bandit trade. There be riches abound and beautiful maidens to woo with thy'n outlaw charm

[beaft]

an intriguing proposition! tell me, are maidens these days into "bad boys"? because i am bad. at many things.

BG3 Doodles of some of my favorite bingos and my Tav, Remus!

Still flushing out his story, but when he was young he always wanted to play with the street kids instead of the other noble kids. His parents weren’t big fans of this, mostly due to the rising murders and disappearances happening within the city.

Do you use pose references or do you just… /know/ how to draw it? (Or, you’ve drawn people so often that you just have it down?)

Your poses are always so dynamic!!!

i do occasionally use reference if im struggling with a certain pose/ want inspiration for a pose ! especially if im working in a more realistic style- sometimes ill even use pics of myself if i cant find exactly what i need,

i do have a folder where i save poses i find interesting/ useful for practice- lots of interaction and sitting poses
