I still don't have a ton of experience with fic just yet (6 stories and counting) but I use this one-line summary technique as well. I don't do it unless there's a single line that sums it all up. But part of my writing style is based in that -- it's usually one line that sticks in my head that gets me going and the rest falls in place around it.
I suppose it could be annoying if an outside person didn't get the same sense of things being summed up in that thought. I'm definitely going to be self-conscious about it in the future now (which may not be a bad thing).
