Most of mine are the lame kind - so and so thinks about things, this is what happens to X after Y. The only one I really like is the one that warns about tubby custard, creme rinse, bdsm, and Farrah hair.
I seen you without your clothes on before. Never thought I'd see you naked.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
I get about half and half--sometimes I love the summaries I come up with, sometimes they're closer to crap. The thing I really have problems with is titles.

Always Anti-fascist!
Me too...I stole from an established story last time I needed one.

Titles are never a problem. Okay, so that's because I steal shamelessly from song lyrics and plays and poems...
The last three thing I've finished? Depeche Mode (Song From the Wrong Side of Town, which is a line from Home--the song that includes a line that's the title of one of the bestest stories ever, "Amends the Next Time"), Leonard Cohen (Seven Virtues From a Broken Hill, which is sort of from If It Be Your Will), and Roxy Music (More Than This, song of the same name).
Sure, sometimes I invent titles, but those tend to be the pithy, single word ones. The others are much more fun.

Gods, summaries. Every time I think of one I realize that the only true summary gives away ninety percent of the plot, and, heck, I want you to at least pretend to be surprised that I got Spike and Xander into bed.

Thanks for all the fish.
YOU DID WHAT TO XANDER AND SPIKE?
Can you do it again?

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
You can always just summarize the first third of the plot....
Note this doesn't apply to drabbles.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Polyamorous Recs has been updated. 24 fandoms, 90 stories.
A little bit late, a little bit huge, and a little bit crazier than normal. The space monkeys got loose. It was a thing.

I bop to Wittgenstein. -- Nutty
I am my own institution of bad and wrong.
This should be a tagline. Or at the very least a stated aim.
