I could use your help...

I want to post my Exchange piece to some archives, but my summary is too bland.  For the Exchange, it read:  Hermione attempts to bring Muggle appreciation to the staff at Hogwarts through Muggle literature.  I've never posted a poll before, but this seemed like the kind of thing a poll would be good for.[Poll #1802908]

Add the LOTR to summary 2..

I'm with Droxy on this one. Add LOTR to Summary Two!

I'm torn between 2 & 3

I love a good smackdown...

*grins*

I think the smackdown conveys some of the comedy of the story. But calling it a smackdown could give people the wrong impression.

I definitely think your second summary is the most tantalizing. May I suggest that you shorten it a tiny bit so that it's more like a teaser than a summary, per se. So that it's more like: Professor Severus Snape believes that Muggle culture has nothing to offer the wizarding world. Professor Hermione Granger sets out to prove him wrong. I mean, who wouldn't want to read that?

Adding The Lord of the Rings might be a beautiful bonus!

And let me just say again, for the record, how much I liked your piece!

Thanks for your input.

Ok, I'm seriously intrigued! Where's the link to the story? I want to read it, NOW! (grin)

I wouldn't want to keep anyone from reading. :)

I like Summary #2, and mentioning LotR would be a great lead.

I like #3 and mentioning LoTR in the summary would be a plus.
