as unintuitive as this might seem, you do NOT want to describe your fic in any real detail in the summary. AO3 summaries function much differently than the blurb on the back of a book. they’re more like a movie tagline. they should be short and intriguing, but not necessarily that informative

if you want to go into a little more detail, a good place to do that is the AUTHOR NOTES. this is a multi function lil section. this is also the correct place to bemoan how long it took you to write this fic, talk about what inspired it, warn readers that there might be grammar errors because your beta fell off a horse, go into detail about warnings, or anything else that takes your fancy. DO NOT put any of this in your summary!! summary is purely to lure readers in

don’t restate your tags in the summary. if your fic is tagged explicit and character/character, you’ve already explained that it’s porn about a specific pairing. no need to say it twice

if you want to practice, start paying close attention to what the summaries on the fics you read are like. what about them drew you in? imitate it

if you can think of a snappy 1-3 sentence elevator pitch style summary of your fic, that’s perfect (shorter and snappier the better). if you can’t, comb through the fic, pick out what you think is the best line or lines (that make sense out of context) and make that your summary

Your poses are always so dynamic!!!

i do occasionally use reference if im struggling with a certain pose/ want inspiration for a pose ! especially if im working in a more realistic style- sometimes ill even use pics of myself if i cant find exactly what i need,

i do have a folder where i save poses i find interesting/ useful for practice- lots of interaction and sitting poses
