summaries

So here's a question I've often wondered about. What makes for a good fic summary? Is there anything that can get you to click when you might otherwise not have been inclined to?

Conversely, what types of summaries do you like least? Are there summaries that will make you skip a work even if it's tagged with all of your favorite ships and tropes?

Actually, the one author's note I want to read up front is the one where they explain that they just threw the story together and couldn't wait to get it posted so didn't have anyone beta it. Then I know to close the tab.
