Story Summary Thing - SG-1

[cat_77]

tejas wanted to know if story summaries fit the stories and started a sort of meme-type thing to explore this. For now, I'm only doing this for the SG-1 stories, and only the ones posted to Alpha Gate. The reasoning behind this is simple - I'm lazy and they already have the story summaries, word counts, and such listed. :) If I do this for SGA, I'm not going to include that as I usually don't add it to my site. All stories can be found at either my page or Alpha Gate's Author Page. Please don't think you need to do this for all, or any of them.

Post a list of your fic titles, their summaries. Include slash/ship/gen (and pairings). Warn for character death and non-con if you wish. Do include size, as even on an LJ post, readers can estimate how long a fic is. Ask your flist to then rate each summary:

What do you think of the summary before you read the story?

SHINY! (Must read!)
EWW! (Sounds *awful*!)
Eh. (Read the fic, wash the dishes... tough decision.)

Then, if you have read it, what do you think of the summary now?

WIN! (Definitely lived up to expectations!)
FAIL! (That's *not* what I thought this story would be about.)
Eh. (It was a summary. It was a story. Gotta go finish the dishes.)

I'd say all your summaries (for the stories I've read - which were most of them) were definitely

Before: Shiny!
After: WIN!
