Author has written 3 stories for Harry Potter, and Glee. -- Lovely Spam Poison Link -- -- Friendly Advice to My Fellow Authors -- Also, I make a point of not reading stories where the author shows little to no confidence in their ability to write, so try not to say things like, "I'm no good at summaries... Just read the story to find out what happens..." I've seen that kind of summary many times when looking for a new fic to read. Not only does it show a lack of self-confidence -- which, by the way, is not the same thing as arrogance -- but it also leaves the reader without anything to be curious about. Remember: If you can write a good story, you can write just as good a summary. It may be tough to condense the point of a story into 255 characters, but if I can do it (see below), you sure can :D The best advice I've got: Let the reader be curious from start to finish, from the moment they read the title and summary to the second they finish reading the last chapter. Whether it's a nail-biting, end-of-chapter cliffhanger or just an intriguing summary, it'll keep the reader interested and itching to read more. * My Harry Potter Fan Fiction * -- By Firelight -- -- The Wishing Well -- * My Glee Fan Fiction * -- Yesterday's Gone -- -- Contacting Me -- | |||||||||
