I am considering uploading a trio of related short stories to Dropbox as a quick way to share them with potential beta readers. Before I actually link them elsewhere, I feel I should have at least _some_ details nailed down, just to give them a rough idea of what they're getting themselves into. As far as I can tell, something like the following would be necessary:

- Genre/potential target audience
- Title (still trying to decide on _this_)
- Rough overview (a paragraph at most?)

Is there anything else that would be required, or simply helpful?
