STEREOTYPING

Making Mistakes the Right Way {a writing tip thread}

In all fanfictions, this happens. What is this? Stereotyping. 

  • Taemin of SHINee absolutely adores bannana milk. 
  • Onew of SHINee wants to marry chicken.
  • Luhan is the cute bubbly Chinese dude who loves bubble tea.
  • Kris is the hot b.itch-face leader of EXO-M. 
  • Lay is the doctor who can heal everything and everyone with his "AWESOME" unicorn powers. 
  • Xiumin is the person who LOVES 'bao' as much as Onew loves his chicken. 
  • Kai is the y, bad-boy dancer.
  • Myungsoo is the quiet cold dude. (HE'S NOT QUIET IN REAL LIFE GUYS. HE'S ONLY QUEIT WHEN HE'S ON STAGE/L.) 
  • Tao is the crazy wushu panda who is enamoured to Gucci. [ADDITIONALLY, KRIS IS THE DUIZHANG WHO BUYS THE PANDA HIS GUCCI.] 

That's pretty much what I though of so far, but this is purely 100% of my opinion. You should try mixing up the member's personalities. I saw this story where Luhan was the annoying bad-boy and Kai was a huge softie in his heart etc. 

School's winding down to an end, so I'm wondering if you have any topics you would like me to cover. It can honestly be anything--I love to give advice.

Chapter 12: i agree, i love it when the writer put the twist inside the story (esp if the story was mystery! and more love if it's nicely written!) i was like 'wait, so all the time i was wrong? w-wait what?'

Chapter 13: Hey um, I have a question. I have a title for my story, but it is already the title of a real book, can I still use it?

Chapter 11: i thought the second person point of view is when the main character talks to the reader from within the book?

Chapter 11: I apologize, but I must disagree. In fact, the second person narrative is widely enjoyed in literature. Although it is hard to write, it can result in something beautiful when executed well. Heck, one of my favorite novels is written in the second person point of view. I understand that a lot of these so-called "you" fics on AFF are a load of crap, and I feel sad because they are butchering the second person narrative. However, I do not believe you should immediate judge a fic by the narrative/point of view it takes.

Chapter 13: Wah, that's too bad. But I can understand why you'd want to stop if your schedule is getting busy. Well, I won't be unsubscribing, but I hope you all the best! :)

Chapter 5: I totally agree.
I immediately lose interest in the fan fiction if it has terrible grammar and not the right font.
You give great tips by the way,thanks!
I'm bilingual, do you think my English is bad?

Chapter 11: Yup, answered! Thanks for your opinions! :)
But as for me, the 2nd POV is a major turnoff. *shrug*
