Ten Great Ways to Write Great Fics

by Lili



For those of you who always claim to have problems writing fanfiction…

*******************************************************************************

1. If having trouble writing and updating, remember that it's your duty as a fic writer to make it your priority to keep writing those awesome fics for your ever impatient readers, i.e. ME!

(Blue Violet, Hikaru and all you others that I'm too tired to name, I hope you're reading this.)

*******************************************************************************

2. "One's trash is another's treasure." Readers don't always think the same as the writers so just because you think your recent fic is crappy, another person might think it's the best story they've ever read. (Blue Violet, you'd better be reading this!)

*******************************************************************************

3. When writing a fic and you get a great idea for it, incorporate it into your fic but stay with the main story.

*******************************************************************************

4. Rambling on and on about things that have nothing to do with the story and constantly repeating sentences can be useful when writing funny fics.

*******************************************************************************

5. Bombs, mechas, chibis, and spandex are also very useful tools when writing funny fics, though not necessarily in that order.

*******************************************************************************

6. Though sex in itself is something very beautiful and special, it can make a fic really, really funny, just ask any self-respecting Gundam Wing yaoi fic writer.

*******************************************************************************

7. Continued from number six, poking fun at one of the pilots' relationships can also make a fic really funny.

*******************************************************************************

8. To avoid a funny fic being too graphic, bushes, censor blots, and the occasional Falling Blob of Whipped Cream TM, are optional.

*******************************************************************************

9. When all else fails, write a PWP fic with lots and lots of lemons and limes.

*******************************************************************************

10. *MOST IMPORTANT* Do *NOT* listen to me of all people, a crazy, homicidal, suicidal, sadistic, T and Q lemon loving, psychotic, desperately in need of mental help, perverted, trigger happy, overly aggressive, hyperactive, and the list goes on and on, but you guys get the point, ne?

Any of you who disagree are welcome to let me know, but you'll just be laughed at and waste a perfectly good e-mail. ~ LiLi
