Story summaries in posts

First of all - I really appreciate this community. It has helped me many times and I have found some really great stories through other people's queries as well. Kudos.

I was wondering though, is there some way of asking for help with a specific story (rather than, say a genre) without giving away the entire plot in the process? It's great to jog the memories of those who can help, but kind of takes something away from the story-telling for those who may not have read it yet. Perhaps starting with a general description and then spoiler'ing the details that are obviously major plot points? A clunky solution but maybe somebody has a better idea.

Moderators: if this is not allowed, please delete, but I'm hoping maybe it can help the comm in general.

Most of the time by time I read the story that I found here I've forgotten the spoiler parts by everything else going on and only noticing it listed in my "to read" fic list. :)

Not that I've read fanfic in months, mind you, but at one time I had a steady list started of various stories I hoped to read at some point in the future. I just stopped reading QAF Fanfic. Someday I may go back to it, but I still need more time.

I'm all sorts of Lol-ing over here about your experience in the theaters. There's been times that I've been sort of frustrated when something that I saw in a trailer wasn't actually in the movie itself. =/

Maybe I should stop watching them. Lol. D:
