1. I haven't written a story in ages but when I write one, I post it on my LJ only. I rarely post it to a comm unless it's for a ficathon or challenge-related fic. I'm not that comfortable posting it in all sorts of places as I prefer a smaller audience for my fics.
I know some authors like pimping their fics in multiple places so more people can see it but I'll scroll past it if it's 'overexposed' (for lack of a better word).
2. I'm not sure why some authors do that either. Most of the time, it's the summary that makes me click on a fic link. Maybe the story is too complicated to boil down to a few sentences. However, I think the authors should make an attempt to do so.
