One of my greatest ambiitons on AFF is to stay away from the featured section. Luckily, rated stories are not applicable in getting featured anymore (I celebrated).

So, here's just something I thought of before getting to sleep.

(Please note that some examples are directly taken from the past featured stories, whether they are intentional or not. I do not mean to insult or offend anyone with this blog post, as it made only for pure entertainment and perhaps education purposes. Take it as a joke, not a serious death killing post that will insult your dignity and pride.)

1) Have the most boring and obvious title you can think of.

People tend to pay attention to the ones that are a sentence, if not a summary of what happens.

 "My Arranged Marriage with (Insert popular boy group here)"

 "My life as (inset popular guy)'s wife/girlfriend"

"I'm pregnant with your baby and who the hell are you?"
"I fell in love with my enemy"
 

2) Include unnecessary things in the description and foreword, and screw up big time in this particular section.

“So um…yeah.  My name is (insert username here), and this is my first fanfic, so I hope you all can support me! Please ignore ALL the mistakes that you see since…um…yeah!”

“Hey guys, it’s (insert username here) again! This time, I’ll be bringing you another fanfic that I’m writing with my bestie (insert another username here). I know that I’m already working on another fanfic, but I just wanted to get this idea down before anyone else claims it!!!”

“Yeah, some of you guys will know me for my other fanfics like (fanfic), (fanfic), the other (fanfic) and (fanfic). BUT THIS TIME, I’M BRINGING YOU SOMETHING ELSE. RANT RANT RANT RANT.”

Totally. Have something along the lines of the examples shown above, and you’ll be featured in no time.

3) Spell things wrong, intentionally or by accident.

Just my little section to rant about. I won’t name it, but I did see a particular featured fanfic that spelt ‘Taemin’ as ‘Teamin’. I mean, seriously. Can’t you even spell the characters’ name properly? I salute you. (Though the author already edited it)

E.G: So 1 day Teamin went and said to Jongbyun "omo huyng, the sink is leeking, plz halp me fix the sink!" But then Minoh cums and pushes Jongbyun away and took out the rench and titened the scru on the sink.

(I know, please don't try and read the example above if it hurts your eyes too much. I had to go back and make those errors.)

4) Add a bunch of Korean words to make the story look Korean.

“Omo, OPPA! "Neh, dangsin-eun daedanhaeyo. Geoui Big Bang-eulo nollawo!" (Don’t even ask me what that means. I don’t even understand it myself. Just copied it from another ranting fanfic.)

Aigoo

Omo

Umma

Appa

Ahjumma

YAH!
MWOH?!

6) Have poorly written scenes, or just a random ‘rated’ chapter in between the non rated ones.

Then they had .

7)Have cliché characters that you know everyone loves

Nerd/Ulzzang

And the list goes on.
