▨ Where to place it ▨

What's hot:

• description/foreword
• beginning of the story (above)
• end of the story (bottom)

What's not:

• In the middle of the story.

​example:

     Amber's walked towards Henry and sat beside him. She waited for him to greet her but he acted like she wasn't there.

    With  doubt, she brushed his hair. (A/N: Go Amber!)

      "You know that I still care about you, right?" she asked. Her voice was shaking. Unsure if it was the right thing to do.

     Henry did not answer. Instead, he shifted his eyes away, concentrating on the other school girls at the hallway. (A/N: My heart is breaking)

      "Henry, talk to me." Tears started to fell from Amber's eyes. She didn't expect him to be like this. Not at this time. All she wanted was him to accept her once again.

      Finally, he spoke, "Forget about us. I don't care about you anymore." (A/N: Sorry if this is angsty) He shoved her hand away. He stood and left her alone, not looking back at the person he once loved.

    Amber cried silently, watching Henry flirt with the girls.  It broke her apart.

• See that? It's like inserting a commercial in the middle of watching a movie. Do not do that.
• No one will enjoy reading your story.

▨ Content ▨

What's hot:

• Inspiration
• Disclaimer
• Dedication
• Credits
• Thanks to
• The lesser the words, the better.

What's not:

• Fangirl feelings

​example:

And by the way, did you watch the latest episode of glee?

I LOVE YOU GUYS

• Have you ever done this? And received a comment about your "fangirling feelings" instead something about your story? Then you're doing it wrong.
• This is why the BLOG section was created, so there's a place for you to spazz.  You should write all your feelings there, not in the story's chapters.
• Not everyone will give a damn about whatever you feel. Readers are here to read stories. If they want to read blogs, they should've been in tumblr or livejournal or other blog sites instead.
• Authors, you wrote a story to gain a comment involving it and not involving your "diary", right?

▨ Font Style and Size ▨

What's hot:

• Smaller, but still readable.
• Same font size used in the story.

What's not:

• Extremely large font.
• Using highlight colors that will make the readers' eyes hurt.

​example:

A/N:  THANK SO MUCH YOU FOR READING! xDDD

sorry for the late update

SO WHAT CAN YOU SAY?

PLEASE LEAVE YOUR COMMENTS BELOW

• Do not do that. The readers will think if you, author, was mad or high that time you wrote it.

▨ Politeness ▨

What's hot:

• Always thank readers.
• Be polite.

What's not:

• Begging.
• Threatening

​example:

A/N: LEAVE A COMMENT OR I WILL NEVER UPDATE!

or

A/N: PLEASE COMMENT AND SUBSCRIBE 

I DON'T LIKE SILENT READERS! D;<

I HATE THEM!!!

• Authors that are like this look desperate and pitiful at the same time.

▨ A/N as a Chapter ▨

• Making another chapter for just an Author's Note.

example:

THIS IS NOT AN UPDATE!

guys what can you say about the new background?

I changed it!

And i'm planning to get a co-author!

Who's interested?

• This is irrelevant and might piss off the readers.
• You should make anouncements in the foreword or the "story feed".

▶ Having an A/N is optional.
