Questions for the list

[kellifer]

2 things that I have been wondering about... considering I'm never particularly up with the online etiquette and value opinions...

1. For the writers - do you post stories to multiple communities? I usually pick one and my journal or just my journal and that's it but I'm seriously considering cutting back the number of communities I'm a member of because it seems lately I'm scrolling through five or six entries of the same story over and over again... I have a non-community filter but I *like* finding new authors to read but this is just defeating me...

2. Why do people put for their story summaries like - "I would summarise but it will spoil the story" *or* "I suck at summaries. Just read." I'm paraphrasing... ;) I put an excerpt because that's what I like to see, but sometime it's like, help me out and give me an idea of what your story is. Otherwise, I just skip right over it.

What's people's preferred method?

I post to a comm only if it's a challenge response usually. I do post some to my eljay, but mostly I've been writing chalresps only lately.

No summary - no read. Unless the title is just *that* good or it's a known SUPERB author (such as venom69, surrealphantast, sjhw_tolerance, seldear, triciabyrne1978, skydiver119, rowan_d, ruralstar, nandamai, kellifer_fic, jellojuicejo, divinejoker, dietcokechic, and audrich), none of whom are likely to leave out a summary.

A fairly recent discovery but none-the-less SUPERB!
