Chapter 2! Yeah, I'm motivated already. Thanks for reviewing! :D I've been getting flames recently about whether or not I'm really writing these stories. So, save your breath.. Everything I write in this is PURELY MINE. I wrote everything, I didn't steal it from anyone else and copied and pasted. That's just low. I'm not mad about the flames, I personally like them. It gives me chances to fix my work, and have a few laughs:D . It's hard to bring me down.

Disclaimer- OHSHC? Mine? You lying, dude.

Number 9:

Normally, an excerpt from a story would be written here, but I don't think I'd be able to get my point across with a story. But none the less, it still bothers me. A lot.

Let's have a little fan fiction lesson, reader. What exactly is a summary? Well, a summary, is a summary. Wow. Shocker. Anyway, it's supposed to attack, grab, attract the reader's attention! It's the starting point for your story! It's one of the most important elements! It's as important as the first and last chapter of a story, basically. Why? Simple.

People wouldn't read your story if you have a summary that sucks. Badly. You may have one of the most awesome stories out there, but no one would read it if it was shit. Sorry, it's a fact of life. I definitely know that somewhere out there, there are people like me, who can't stand bad summaries. Think about it. Maybe that's why your story isn't getting attention? I'm not calling anyone out, just trying to ease the annoyance of many fan fiction stories out there. You can think of this as a checkup for your stories. Healthy stories need checkups. Damn. I sound like a doctor.

Anyway, here are some examples of stories with bad summaries with possibly good/bad plots:

After receveing a Cristmas gift from Hikaru, Haruhi thinks of her life with Hikaru at this moment. She feels something diferent about him. What? Read 2 find out. T for language

`Okay. Here we go. I think it's obvious. FIX YOUR SPELLING. I know you people are capable of it. If you're not, then you're too young or illiterate to be on this website. Okay? It annoys me. All this time you've seen your story, and you've never seen your mistake? I find that very hard to believe. Wake up, smell the damn coffee! Stop being lazy. If you had time to write a story, you have time to write it correctly, so you don't anger any potential readers that agree with this point. And I feel there are many that do agree with me. I'm juggling 3 stories, and I type correctly. You can write one at a time, and type incorrectly/sin a stupid way. How does that make you feel in comparison?

What would've happened if Haruhi never joined the Host Club? How would the Host Club's relationship be affected? This is my first story, so it might suck! No flames plz.

`Ahem. First, that sounds like a relatively good plot, if one author was good enough to pull it off. But who wants to read a story that you're shooting down instantly with a small speck of redemption? Oh, it might suck. At least be proud of your work. If you didn't like it, it wouldn't be up on fan fiction, now would it? And have some ounce of confidence in yourself. You should believe in yourself and have faith that people would read it. Don't think that you're will be an insta-fail. It has a possibility to be great! (If it isn't crap.) And another thing. You wrote it, you're criticizing it, you're flaming it somewhat. And then you write "No flames plz." No further comments.

The Hitachiin twins cause drama and stuff.

`One sentence. One sentence? What the fuck? That is so vague. That's one thing wrong with summaries. It has to have the right balance. Not too vague, but not too specific that it gives away the entire plot of the story. What fun is reading a story when you already know what is going to happen? Anyway, yes. We all know they cause drama. Gee. What else? That's a well-thought out, eye-catching summary. Think about it.

Little side note: A bad title is as bad as a bad summary. If it doesn't go along with the story, what kind of title is it. Also, making it in capital letters with different characters and shit around it, doesn't interfere with how much reviews/hits you get. It catches their attention, doesn't mean people will read it.

#9:
Horrible summaries.

Gee, I can't stand you, summaries! So many faults could go wrong. Some people are good at this. They can just sit for a minute, and think of an epic summary almost instantly. Some people can't summarize. They just can't naturally. I know some people in my school who can't write a summary to save their life if it depended on it. But if they want to be a kick-ass writer, then they have to improve their summarizing/overall writing skills. It pains me to see all these fails of a story. To summarize/conclude it, this is possibly one of the greatest downfalls of all around fan fiction that I have ever seen. Simple. Short. Good. Just like how a real summary should be. You are your own greatest enemy.

Remember:
Summaries = can determine whether your story is a fail or not. Extremely important. Don't take it for granted and be sloppy. You'll be sorry when you see your review count.

And another chapter done! You people inspire me. Once again, read, and review. Love me, hate me, flame me. You'll be happy too. Good things come to those who wait? Wait. Wrong quote. That was a fail.

I'll most likely update on Friday-Sunday. And for my fellow authors/readers who agree with me, any stories that I should read/critique if it's yours or someone else's? Doubt anyone would want me to do that. And any good stories that don't suck, anyone? Suggestions for later chapters? Anything. :D

Another sidenote: Saw a story = 6 OC's; 5 chapters; 4 reviews; .COMMENTS.
