Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I think that I am pretty bad at creating really exciting summaries(which is why I dread writing a plot synopsis of my original, should I have to) but apologizing underlines that in highlighter, plus it calls attention to you, fanfic writer, in a way that messes up the twin illusions of fanfic. Namely, that your story could really happen, or failing that, that someone who wrote for the show could write it.

Even if it's a story I want to read, if they're apologizing in the summary I won't read it unless there are several reviews and/or bookmarks. If the summary is that incoherent, then I don't hold out a lot of hope for the story. I don't want a summary that's exciting, I want one that's clear and gives me an idea that you can construct a sentence.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
I will say that, back in the day, I had the world's worst summary to one of my best-reviewed stories.
But, of course, I will occasionally read something just because the summary is so utterly bizarre that I have to see what the heck they're talking about.
That said, if you have a 500 word summary for your 221B, I am going to skip reading the damn thing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I know where 221B is, but I don't know what one is. Help?

It's a particular-to-Holmes-fandom variation on the drabble. 221 words, final word has to start with B.

Because books.
That's so cool! Now I want a SPN thing like that.

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!
ita, have you run across this Sterek story yet? [link]

No. Why did I come to mind?

It struck me as being Stiles-centric in a good way, and I thought he was your favorite character on the show.
