I already loved you, bb, but I love you even more for posting this. ♥

*goes back to starting and deleting her fic summary for the zillionth time*

[treacle-tartlet.livejournal.com]

I swear, my last fic summary took as long as editing the bloody fic.

*clings to you*

THANK YOU. (Which is why I still believe in "one-sentence excerpt = best summary I'll come up with".)

This is so true. Fic summary=Mordor

[treacle-tartlet.livejournal.com]

I do that so often!

[treacle-tartlet.livejournal.com]

Yessssss...

[mijeli.livejournal.com]

The elegant way out, no? :D

[treacle-tartlet.livejournal.com]

I like to think so!

[mab.livejournal.com]

Totally!!!

It took me hours to come up with a fic summary yesterday. So painful!

*hates writing summaries*

OMG, I wanted to cry recently when, after deleting the header to do a proper word count, I accidentally saved the document. AND ERASED MY TITLE & SUMMARY!!! *weeps at the memory*

I think there should be another that says one does not simply title a fic. Because THAT is where 97% of the time I hit a wall.

Basically.

AND TITLES. I NEED A TITLE. D:

Should've scrolled down before I commented apparently because YES THIS.

[khasael.livejournal.com]

THIS TOO. OMG.

Comment from a beta once that made me feel the best about my personal and constant failure on this front was something along the lines of "I have been sitting here, trying to come up with a title for this fic for longer than it took me to EDIT THE DAMNED STORY". Sometimes, they elude other people, too! I AM NOT ALONE. *clings to everyone else who has the title/summary problem*

YOU TELL IT, BOROMIR.

Jeez, right? I have a document full of things that struck me as potentially good titles, but they are NEVER right. Do:
