Ahahahahhahahahahahahahhaha yes describing your story and OC is necessary. I'll help you out with it though because it can suck sometimes. This an apply to any fandom, so I'll legit just copy this over to my Quotev someday.
Whether it be a character description or
story description, it is so important to know how to make a good description.

Cliche Story Description Things

1. "Normal" - Never use this word when describing your story. If someone uses this to describe their story, chances are whoever they're talking about is not normal. For goodness sake, just don't use this.

Ex.
Bella was a normal high school girl until she found out she was a werewolf and the alpha's mate.

See what I mean? Just please do not use the word "normal" to describe a character or story. Instead just say what makes them so special. Saying they're normal is just cliche and really angering to some people. Don't say this.

2. Read to find out - Again, never say this! A synopsis (the description on the back or inside of a book we all know and love) should be something a reader looks at to find out if they want to read the book for not. It shouldn't change for an internet story. Saying, "Read to find out!" kills all previous interest and really is a bad idea to say.

Ex.
In Hurricane, a young girl figures out a deadly secret. Read to find out!

You may not be confident in your description abilities but try, don't be lazy. If your story description says this, change it immediately. These words might make you sound like a lazy writer, and they can easily influence judgment in a reader. Come up with the best description you can, but keep it mind not to do this while also considering the next tip!

3. Spoilers - Don't spoil what happens in your book in the description! Avoid spoilers while still giving a moderately well-written and cliche-free description, these three things will really pull together well and create a badass description. It may sound challenging but with practice you can manage. Don't spoil your book in the process of writing the basics of it, that will ruin it. If your book is about a young girl who in the last three chapters figures out she is a supernatural creature, don't mention it! No spoilers! If she finds out a few chapters in, then go ahead. If it's farther than roughly 4 chapters in, then just don't tell anyone, or if it plays a big role in the story. Avoid mentioning unnecessary details, and you should be all set.

Oh wow I powered through this important chapter, hope you benefitted from it. Have a good day!
