Well, you can have it *g* but there are bits that need changing round a bit. And missing bits, but you can get the general gist, I think.

Still working on the summary :(

If you take a look at the "artist claiming post' (look at the tags list in the links list for 2010 or 2011) you can see the sort of anonymous summaries writers have come up with the last couple of years. See, they're quite small.

Remember, you're not trying to come up with a summary that you'd post when you finally post your story but rather something to give the artists an idea of it when they're choosing a story.

Thanks - that differentiation helps. I was thinking more about trying to describe the whole thing to entice a reader *g*

I thought that might be the case as a summary for readers makes me sweat a bit but a summary for artists' claims is a bit different.

In this case you're really just trying to give them a flavour of it... like is it AU? Where's it set? That sort of thing, so they can decide if your story will probably be a good match with their skills/the art they'd like to make.

Yay - thanks for the help - I've nailed it!
