Author has written 10 stories for Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Sherlock, Spider-Man, Divergent Trilogy, Harry Potter, Penderwicks series, Downton Abbey, and Fault in Our Stars. Hey there! My name's Lexi :) I'm a total book nerd and I love using my hairbrush as a microphone from time to time. My favorite fandoms are Sherlock, The Amazing Spider-Man, Harry Potter, The Penderwicks, Once Upon a Time, and Percy Jackson: Heroes of Olympus. OTP's: Sherlolly, Skyffrey, Captain Swan, Percabeth, Lezel, Harry/Ginny, Gwen/Peter, and Fourtris. I am a whole-hearted Christian and I strive to glorify God in all of my writing. I will never write anything above T or include foul language. I hope you like my writing!!! Please give suggestions on how I can improve! This is from Sicily (jarjarjinx) she's amazing :) The 26 Commandments of Fanfiction 1. Thou shalt not post a fic until it has been checked for grammar and spelling errors. The fanfiction gods hath given you a spellchecker on the computer for good reason. Use it. 2.Thou shalt not post a chapter of less than 100 words, unless it is a drabble. This displeases the masses. 3.Thou shalt not put author's notes in the middle of the story. 4.Thou shalt NEVER use text-speak in a fic, unless the characters are actually texting. 5.Thou shalt keep to one tense, and only one, throughout the story. Do not switch randomly. 6.Apply the above number 5 to POVs as well. 7. Thou shalt not get offended when someone makes fun of the crack pairing featured in your fanfiction. It probably is rather hilarious. 8.Thou shalt not use , ;, or :( in a fanfiction to show the emotion exhibited by a character. 9.Thou shall try-eth to keep characters in character! 10.Thou shall not treat every criticism as a flame. 11.The author's note is not a spot for your personal drama, and thou shalt not make it so. 12.Thou shalt not put any form of the phrase "first fic" in thy summary. 13. Thy created characters must not have names that exceed five syllables in length. Nor shall thy name have more than five words in length. 14.If thou art writing a story that does not follow the original story line, point it out in the beginning. 15.Thou shall not make a person randomly smart or powerful unless stating a reason for the change (a good reason). 16.Thou shalt show and not tell. 17.Thou shalt not EVER use the phrase "I suck at summaries" in-est thine summary. This annoys thine readers. 18.Thou shalt not write the same way thou speak-est- writing is an art. 19.Thou shalt ALWAYS spell the word "okay" correctly. Using the letter "K" is an unacceptable compromise. 20. Thou shalt only use clichés when thou a) art writing a parody or b) find a new and interesting twist to make such clichés bearable to thine reader. 21. Thou shalt always separate dialogue from two separate speakers in two separate paragraphs. Otherwise thine readers shalt be confuse-ed. 22. Thou shalt not EVER make a chapter all one paragraph. THIS INFURIATES BOTH THINE READER AND THE FANFICTION GODS. They have given thee an ENTER key with good reason. 23. Thou shalt not write with thy caps lock on, it displeases the masses and causes thy readers to lose their vision and make angels weep. 24. Thou shalt know how to spell the character's names correctly before you writeth the fic. Misspelling the name of the main characters makes readers angry and distracts from the story. 25. Thou shalt not say in thine summary "summary inside". This shows lack of creativeness and infuriates the masses. The only exception is when a summary is cut short and a continuation of it lies inside. 26. Thou shall use paragraphs and space the story so it is not terrifyingly daunting to thine readers. I love you guys!!! Thanks for always being supportive and helping me write better! |
