In your case, um, you don't supply blurbs. :) At least, not at your Website.

Yeah, well: I am hopeless at writing blurbs. Really. So there are none, because I had rather none than bad blurbs.

It's a game I'm quite willing to play in your case, because I had the good fortune to stumble upon a story of yours that was so good that I added you to my "will read anything by them" list of authors.

:-D Yeah, I'm afraid I slightly rely on people taking the first jump and liking it and then reading the others. I very seldom get rec'd - I think one, not many people like my stories, and two, the people who do tend to be embarassed about it and not want to admit.

But I really, really appreciate it when an author includes a blurb, because I usually don't read stories because they appear in certain fandoms or feature certain characters - I read them because they have some sort of plot premise that intrigues me.

That's interesting - my lack of blurbs is actually something I was seriously not worrying about on the basis that I originally started the website to have an archive, as much as anything else. Do you know of any online tutorial in How To Write Blurbs? As noted above: I'm bad at it. (Most people are, and I hate bad blurbs.)
