turpsOne of my MCR stories has been asked for on a fic finder comm. Obviously I've now arrived.
Though seeing my own summaries given by someone else just shows how lame they are. My summaries suck, as do most of my titles. Like my MtYG story, that has the lamest title ever.

Why are summaries and titles so hard? It shouldn't be that way. (Sound Tracking is a great title.)

It's so difficult to get a catchy title and summary. I have to admit, I like Sound Tracking too, but I like Bob in Spaaaaace! better :D

You're WRITERS, shouldn't writing summaries be just another aspect of writing? There must be some people who don't think it's difficult, perhaps they should put together some sort of Summary Writing Tutorial.

Okay, I guess I can be an orca, but a very small one *g*
