Description
This has been on my mind for a couple days now. I want to see it happen. Let me know your thoughts.5/11/2012 Pimpin' Edition A DD!? You guys are awesome! This was unexpected.
The 'Request a Critique' is on for a reason. Feel free to point out any and all faults or ideas to add to it. I'm here to perfect it, not just pats on the back.
I'm a poetry admin at =DailyLitDeviations ! Send me writing that deserves more attention by noting me

To be honest, I have a hard time seeing the use of a tl;dr version with the normal one as the mouse-over. I know synopses are pretty handy for longer deviations, but I just don't think they add much for short-stories or poetry, and might even confuse or detract (e.g. trying to describe a Maupassant/Flaubert-esque story when it's probably best presented as-is.)
I know a lot of people seem very happy with this idea, but I'd also like to know that it isn't required, so that stories best left unexplained can be left strictly in the current format.

This would be an amazing addition to our literature submission <3 asdfghj, i would love to have this be an actual thing.

I like the idea. It makes a lot more sense than literature having a photo on it. (I get tired of the pictures some people use since it normally makes it difficult for me to tell what the text is about.)

I would like to see this implemented into the dA system. It seems a lot more useful than what we have now XD

I think this is a great idea, except the font looks a bit too small to be readable. Great idea though!

The literature thumbnails are getting an upgrade: [link]
But they won't have a summary unfortunately.
If you don't mind me asking, what kind of literature do you write?

Oh, that is good. 
I usually write fantasy stories or angsty/dark shorter modern stories. I also tend to write poems and also fanfiction. I write in both Swedish and English.

In two languages? I don't know how people do it.
Best of luck with your work!

Thank you!

Yes, it makes so much sense and would make things so much easier!

Amen! the first couple of lines are not always a huge pull in to read things & more often than not people give their literature creative names (which is great & all, but it does nothing to let potential readers know what their work is about.)

This is an amazing idea and I can only hope that it'll be implemented.

I like the idea of having a summary- if dA had that feature, I think I might be more likely to read submitted literature! It would make it just as easy to get an idea of what it is before you click it as with a thumbnail for a drawing/painting.

That's what I was aiming for!

Excellent suggestion. I would imagine that when one would write a summary for their piece of literature there would be a character limit (so it would remain within the dimensions of the thumbnail).
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
In the suggestion I said a 150 character limit would be about right.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That would definitely be adequate.

< I agree with this so much, it should happen <3
As a writer myself, I luv it, cause when you first look at it you can see the story and practilly I don't really like that, cause it gives the story straight away when you wnat people to properly look at it and all that.
With this it'll be eaier for people to find stories they like, cause when you look at the deviantion it doesn't really say what catogory its in, so its not showing what gerne it is; so this would make is so much easier for people to find stuff they like.
Plus the summary thing is awesome too, cause people normally place the summary in the Artists comment, which is useless cause the person would have already read the literature...
enough of my blabbering XD, this is just plain awesome dude, I hope it happens <3333 >

I know, I always found that so useless that the summary was in the comments but before that was the poem or story you had decided to read. This would be a much easier to grasp alternative, methinks.

< Yes I so agree, its like, "whats the point of doin the summary anyway" at times, but yeah, this plan should so happen, I would so use it to its fullest potentional * w *
seriously, this idea is mint ! .3. >

Would love to see this come into use for DA. It would make things easy and amazing for a lot of writers and artists alike.

With dA $taff rolling out the new thumbnails soon, [link] it may not be a reality. I would like to see the summary option be implemented.
