Recently I clicked on a fic with an uninspiring summary and really enjoyed the summary--enough that I had to tell her that her story was way way better than her teaser led me to believe--it even misled me about the plot.

Poor thing--I wasn't even the first commenter who'd said that. But to her credit, she did edit the summary at least twice more before I finished reading it, and they were better. Not great, but better. Never, I think, has an "I suck at summaries--try it anyway!" been more literally deserved, and she hadn't initially even said so.

I effin' hate summaries. For the record.

I'm tempted, should I ever write something for public consumption outside of Yuletide again, to just make all summaries moving forward quotes from Yoda.

And now that I'm home, ita !, thanks for the links!

Am reading an Avengers fic with surprise!DonnaNoble. House of Odin series. Which all kinds of strange since I just finished Alons'y Avengers.

English Muffins: and it's abandoned. Too bad.

Now onto a bootlegger fic. No! You can't have peepers and cicadas at the same time!

This is sort of embarrassing, but has anyone read any good Snow White/Huntsman fic based on the movie? I have a craving.

There were some stories in the last Yuletide.

The one I remember reading is this, which I thought was good, but may not scratch your itch.

Thank you, ma'am!

I see a Huntsman/William story, too, which might scratch a different itch.

Domenika Marzione has started posting a sequel to Freezer Burn.

So far, so good, but that's hardly unexpected.

You know, I wish I liked Freezer Burn more than I did. There's something about her narrative technique that didn't work for me, although I used to really like her storytelling. A bit too much telling, maybe? Narration rather than events, maybe?

Plus too much food porn: I just can't buy Steve Rogers being quite that fascinated by nouveau American cuisine.
