super simple low-effort ao3 summary methods that are 1000% better and 1000% less annoying than just saying you suck at summaries:
copypaste the first few lines of the fic. u already wrote ‘em. let ‘em be their own damn hook
if ur feeling fancy & don’t mind showing ur hand a bit, copypaste the first few lines of the fic that u feel are esp. Important or Interesting - the ones where u first start getting into the real meat of things
state the main tropes! theyre probably already in ur tags - just say them again - maybe as a full sentence if ur feelin fancy. or with a joke if ur feelin Extra fancy
ask a question. pose a hypothetical. eg what happens if u take [character] and put them in [situation]?
make an equation. [character] + [thing] = [outcome]
just write like a one-sentence summary of what the fuck is going down. just one (1) sentence. doesnt matter if it doesn’t cover every important aspect. or if it sounds bland. any summary sentence is gonna be miles better than “idk i suck at summaries”
just…explain the fic like u would to a friend? it doesnt have to be a polished back of the book blurb. it can just be “[pairing] coffee shop au, but like, still with murder, and also i made everyone trans. enjoy”
just stick a meme in there
honestly who cares
just put literally anything but a self deprecating comment in there & ur golden
Man I love theseus' guide
Also, very tasty art
i stole this wholesale from stump but they should just be grateful i drew it so they can look at it
based on theseus' guide to ruining a perfectly good boat
You guys ever think about how fucking messed up / interesting is the fact that in the Billford relationship, it turns out that Ford is for all intents and purposes the love of Bill's life?!?!
Meanwhile Ford realizes that Bill isn't his? Or more accurately, that he isn't the only love of his life? That his brother and his grand niblings are a bigger / way better source of love and care for him than Bill ever was?
And Bill doesn't have anything else, he has no love beyond what Stanford was offering, AND HE BLEW IT
anyway,. back to your usual queue'd posts.
Having a much older, much more experienced person tell you you're doing well in your shared hobby is better than crack, especially when the hobby tends to be 80% retired ppl. Like, hell yeah I'm gonna get a good grade in birdwatching and I'm not even 50. Child prodigy moment
I know what you're all definitely thinking. What if everyone from Gravity Falls was a chair. Well, I was bored enough at 3am to think about that too
Edit: part 2
He's so adorable!!!
HIIIII, I WAS BORED SO I MADE THIS SILLY LITTLE BILL FROM HEINZ DILEMMA 💖💖🫶🫶
Shhhh, the kid is sleeping 🥹🫶
That is amazing actually??
I JUST CANT LIVE WITHOUT THE HEINZ DILEMMA, THIS FANFIC TOOK ALL OVER MYSELF LIKE A DRUG, ALL THE THINGS IN THIS FANFIC MAKE ME SCREAM I SWEAR
I really love how it represent the toxicity of Bill and Ford and how cruel are their lives... At the vary start I thought everything was going so fast but now... Im just crying on my bed after my 4 time reading it... Thanks for this magnificent fanfic @electricalhuzzah I owe you my entire life 🥹💖
Also first page of my Art Journal, Thanks again for this fanfic you made me so happy, I need the next chapter so bad 💔
Also the chainsaw its from this im laughing sm about it 😭
Well. Well.
Guess who's coping again. Heinz Dilemma (ao3), I love you Heinz Dilemma (ao3).
Anyway who wants to guess what the letters stand for? There were so many I couldn't even add other beads or else it would be way too big. (Tip, it isn't from the newest chapter.) (Also I hope I did not mess any letters up.)
(Obligatory HIIII to @electricalhuzzah, you can have my soul when you finish the fanfic. I really need to see those fuckers together again.)
Just a random Jelly telling you that I fucking LOOOOVVVVEEEE the bracelet you made and to stay the lovely individual you are. ❤️✨️🥹 Thankyou so much for being you!
That just made my day, thank you so much!!! :]
Hey Eva, I just need you to know that you've invoked my other coping mechanism! (I had to improvise a lot of the letters)
I also listened to the Heinz Dilemma playlist while making it
Also also, I am glad that my hate in Derek was justified. Ford, thank you for stepping in! Cause that was so far from a normal dynamic, that what Billford has going on is healthier.
Bill is gonna have to explain so much-
AND STAN KNOWS!! My- it's been a couple of hours since I read it. I need to reread it actually-

The coincidence of two fanfics updating in the same week, both being a gf au, both having Billford as the main ship, both have an "I love you" from a character that had previously not said it, and in both: BILL. RUNS. AWAY?? Good stuff
