Superior Write-Fu: how to win/fail at fic descriptions, guest starring Sensei Half_Life_Wolf.

Jul 12, 2011 00:11

doctorv: *snork* I think fic descriptions have reached a level where they can be actual cliches now. "[Noun] leaves [Character] [adjective], but [noun] from [other Character] may be more than he bargained for."
doctorv: TELL ME YOU'VE NEVER SEEN THAT DESCRIPTION BEFORE.
doctorv: YOU CAN'T, CAN YOU?
half_life_wolf: no. no, i can't. sigh.
doctorv: Yeah.
half_life_wolf: like guys i know summaries are hard
half_life_wolf: that's not an excuse
doctorv: Exactly!
doctorv: If you can't do a real description just slap on "Character A and Character B do some stuff that leads to them porking. LOL how do I plot?" and you're done!
half_life_wolf: yeah. just label it as PWP and slap some warning tags on there and be done with it
doctorv: "Look you don't actually care as long as there's porking, so yes. It's Character A/Character B. Also [insert fetish]. Warning for [thing]. READ AND BE TITILLATED."
half_life_wolf: i am using that as the summary for every PWP kink meme fill i do from now on
doctorv: XD
doctorv: Awesome.
doctorv: *high five*
doctorv: I have solved the problem of fail!descriptions. I must let the world know.
half_life_wolf: now to actually do some PWP fills
half_life_wolf: haha yes
doctorv: ...Somehow.
half_life_wolf: we will spread the word
half_life_wolf: possibly through tumblr
doctorv: I do not know how useful that would actually be, as I suspect I am the only one who reads my tumblr. XD
half_life_wolf: i read your tumblr
half_life_wolf: ....when i go on tumblr
doctorv: XD
half_life_wolf: but i realize that this is not exactly helpful either
doctorv: No it is not, as you have already been enlightened.
half_life_wolf: haha yes
half_life_wolf: i can tell lj
half_life_wolf: i am sure they will appreciate
doctorv: Ditto.
doctorv: I will tell them in the form of this very conversation.
half_life_wolf: best plan

If I ever get around to continuing my Superior Write-Fu thing, this will probably get a mention.

learning is fun, wankity wank, hear my evil laugh and know fear, babble, words are fun
