1) I used to spam every relevant community that I belonged to, but it felt annoying for me and everyone who had to show up on their flist. So now I usually post fic on my LJ and put a link in no more than 2-3 relevant communities, usually the largest ones for that fandom.
2) Because people are programmed to think they HAVE to put a summary and are both lazy and unimaginative? A lot of times I don't put a SUMMARY per se; I'll take a line from the fic and make it my LJ cut text, or when I post the link on the community, I'll pull a couple sentences from the fic itself to act as a teaser. I think summaries are largely a waste of time.
