Your Archetypical Stupid Summary
Oh, wow, I have so many things I want to say, I don't know where to start. Help! Okay, number one…despite how badly they annoy me, if you write an OOC, MS or the like, it doesn't make you a bad author. It just means you need to work on coming up with creative ideas, articulating them better, gaining experience, etc. I myself have been known to OOC pretty shamefully, and I think most of us must confess to at least a little. It takes lots of practice and skill to hit the nail on the head where the complex, deep, and moving characters of RurouKen are concerned. Just so long as you put in effort, it's okay.
In addition, an OOC can be done when used in parodies correctly. Also, AU's can be OOC in my opinion, but the most awesome way to do this is not to say 'to hell with it' and OOC the hell out of it. No, the best way to OOC in an AU is to just explore a new aspect of a character, to widen certain perspectives, to exaggerate certain qualities. You can find that your bad-ass Kenshin with a Ferrari is really exactly in character, IF (huge if) you can explore his psyche dexterously.
Another thing, I'm so so so shamefully sorry... I bow down, touch my forehead to the ground. I HONESTLY did not mean to, in any way, name my disgraceful mock authoress after the amazing Chibi-angel. (It was probably a plot of Elisa's to get more fame, you know.)
All right, I'll save my opinion stuff for the end, where it is easier for bored people to skip it.
So, this episode will be devoted to (thanks to Plum Pudding, once again) the obnoxious, the horrible, the nauseating…
STUPID SUMMARIES!!!
Everyone has a hard time condensing his or her summaries to a few sentences. I know I do! But you can put effort into it people! Don't you hate to see:
Broken spelling
Lunatic ranting
Fangirl gibberish
Self-demeaning begging
Pleas for reviews
Self-Advertising
Too much capitalization
AND MORE!
Without further ado….Perfect Chibi Angel Elisa's SUMMARIES!!
For anyone who hasn't caught on that this is a parody…. Never mind. I have no words for people that dense.

********
Number one: with no exceptions whatsoever, the CaPiTal SwItCh OfF StYlE is the most annoying thing created. It makes it impossible to read what you have written, and makes it impossible for anyone to look at your fic for one second without laughing. End of story
Number two: Ripping off titles from highly acclaimed authors is always a no-no. Sometimes, people get the same idea, and then name their stories similarly. It's understandable that you can't know the titles of all the fanfictions ever. But…to take such a famous piece as When the World Revolves Around You….gross.
Number three: Once again, the spell check, people. If you can't bother to spell things right in your summary, nobody will be looking inside to see if you bothered in your fic. Sorry.
Number four: "I suck at summaries" Huge turn-off. If you suck at summaries, and then even say so…oh yeah, tons of people will want to read your fic. MM hmm. If you suck at summaries, don't waste space saying so. Just try your best!
Number five: "The title speaks for itself" this only occurs in very rare occasions when dealing with parodies and humors. Besides, even if the title does speak for itself, you can still add on a bit, sculpt the image your title projects.
Number six: "Be nice please" This does not invoke pity, an even if it does, you don't want pity anyway. Begging people to be gentle with you does not command the kind of respect that you should seek out from your fellow fanfic authors.
Number seven: those faces ( ^-^ ) are cute…to an extent. When used to often or in the wrong places, the really grind the nerves.
Ahh, I feel much better. I always do, after ranting for a good amount of time.
