"Just pick something to read already, dechu!"

"Yaya doesn't want to read any of these!"

"Why don't you read this one, dechu?"

"But it looks boring!"

The process repeated over and over again: Pepe complaining about how picky Yaya was, Yaya whining, Pepe trying to get Yaya to read something, Yaya whining, over and over again for fifteen minutes.

"Why do they look boring, dechu?" Pepe finally broke the cycle with a different question.

"Because the summaries are bad!"

"But what about that one, dechu?"

"Yaya thinks the title looks boring! The letters aren't capitalized either!

"Since when did you start caring about grammar, dechu?"

"Since Kairi taught Yaya that bad grammar is bad!*"

"What about these, dechu?"

"The first one just says the author sucks at summaries, and the second one says full summary inside. Yaya doesn't want to read a long summary!"

"Will you ever pick something to read, dechu?"

Ding!/failed attempt to imitate a timer

"Oh look! It's been twenty minutes! Now that Yaya finished Yaya's homework, Yaya can eat some candy!"

*I think this line is a bit awkward since Yaya's saying that incorrect grammar isn't good while using incorrect grammar. It's almost funny in an awkward way!


A lot of people these days write really bad summaries, and "attempt" to make it better by typing I suck at summaries or something. Don't write something like I suck at summaries. You'll just lose a lot (*coughallcough*) of your readers. Sometimes it helps to keep it short. If you have to type full summary inside or type a whole paragraph for your summary, then it's too long.

Who wants to read a paragraph-long summary?

It also helps to not sound like an illiterate 5 year old, but more on that later.

When you're coming up with a title, please CAPITALIZE THE "IMPORTANT" WORDS, LIKE This, but Not Like THIS,WHERE YOU'RE TOO LAZY TO USE THE SHIFT KEY AND TYPE IN ALL CAPS INSTEAD WHICH MAKES IT SEEM LIKE YOU'RE SHOUTING!

Now that we've finished the grammar part, let's move on to how to not make a decent fanfiction seem horrible because of a bad title...

Titles to Avoid:

1. A Shugo Chara Story/Tale/Twist/Legend/Myth/Barf (Do you see where it says barf? It's there for a reason.)

2. The Best Fanfiction Ever! (This proves that you're conceited and that it's probably going to be bad.)

3.[insert character] vs/and/likes/with/plus/words like these [insert character] (Gasp! I could have never figured that out by looking at the names of the main characters which are right below this!)

4.A(n) [insert pairing] story (see reason above)

5. The New Girl/Guardian (everyone immediately assumes that the main character is a Mary-Sue and then they ignore the summary)


Chapter Summary: If the title and summary sucks, nobody (except for illiterate five year olds, but there aren't that many nowadays) will want to read your story.
