Author has written 5 stories for Fullmetal Alchemist, and Naruto. Notices: Please vote in my poll, I want to know what people consider the worst of the worst of writing no-nos. If you are having trouble being struck by inspiration to write, or have more inspiration than you can keep up with; the Plot Bunny Adoption Center is the place for you. The Coffee House: If you have any questions about fanfiction you'd like answered, are striving to be a better writer, or want to learn how to leave better reviews; this is the place for you. Regular chatting is also welcome. The Coffee House is currently holding a Sue parody writing contest! Be sure to enter if you think you're up to it! About Me: I'm a girl. I love to read, listen to music, and think puppies and kittens are cute. I've been on the site reading for a while now, but only recently have I taken up writing. I was infected by Randomitisitis during my time as a bando. I get flareups occationally. ;) My rant/opinion on Fanfiction: I have read many wonderful works on here, some of which are on par or better than some published books out there. However, the quality of fanfiction appears to be heading on a steady decline as of late. Countless people, myself included, have grown tired of the flooding caused by a seemingly endless wave of Mary Sues, self inserts, and chatspeak/1337 fics. Please read the rules before posting a story, chatspeak stories are not allowed, among other things. Not only that, but it says specifically that all work should be checked for grammar and spelling errors. The spellcheck tool on here may not be a beta reader, but a lot of mistakes could be avoided by simply paying attention and seeing the little red squiggly lines. Also it's grammar not grammer. I started writing because I became tired of all the bad fics and thought to myself, "I can do better than this trash, I won't be the best, but I can do better," it was just a bonus that I discovered I liked to write. So, if you think you can do better than Mary Sues, bad grammar, etc., then please write something. With enough good stories, maybe the bad ones will be swept out, or people get the idea and stop butchering the English language. Lastly, the "English isn't my first language, go easy on me" excuse isn't acceptable. If you use it as a crutch you will never improve, that isn't me being mean, it's the truth. Plenty of authors here aren't native English speakers, and as a part of that group, I take personal offense to people who do that. On the other hand, if you ask people to point out errors to you so you may learn, that's perfectly fine. Sorry for that, not many things bother me but I have had enough of the people who come on here with the writing skills of a drunk 5 year old. Favorite Quotes "What starts in f and ends in uck?--FIRETRUCK!" "Tell me what this is about before I'm forced to unleash the fury of my anime mullet." -Seto Kaiba, Yugioh the Abridged Series Misc 99 percent of statistics on are made up, just like this one. I love concrit, it helps me better myself as a writer, so if you have any, feel free to share via PM/Review :D |
