Why your story

Description

You post your first story. And then you sit and wait for the subscribers to just start piling up! But they don’t. Why? You post one more chapter. Then another. But nothing changes. Is it because your foreword doesn’t have enough pictures? Is it because you didn’t have enough bright colors in your chapters? Maybe. But I’m going to tell you what I think. Your story .

Foreword

Now, we all know that asianfanfics isn't famous for the amazing writing being done within its domain. And that’s understandable…to a certain point. There are some hidden gems on asianfanfics. Keyword being “hidden.” The reason why it’s so hard to find those fanfics? They’re surrounded by too many poorly written stories so they never get the attention they deserve.

Let’s be real. Most of us have given up in finding a good story on asianfanfics. If we go through the recently updated stories, all we get is the five hundred stories of EXO with the same cliché plot. Try searching through the tags! How’s that working out for you?

I know that there are stories out there already that tell you what they hate about your story. Most of them are probably better written than mine. I’m a high school student. I don’t have perfect grammar or a huge vocabulary, but what I do have to offer is some insight.

There’s a reason why people don’t want to read your story.

And since I’ve spent so much time on asianfanfics, I’ll try to recommend any hidden gems that I find.

Chapter 1: I read another story giving out the same advice and now that I look back, you two were so right on! I'm going to use these tips when I start writing fanfics

Chapter 1: I love this. It actually tells newbies to NOT do what they are doing. I tried everything you told me not to do, and well, lets say it all . I hope you continue giving advice, cause you are amazing.

Oh, thank you for this.
I felt like an idiot because I've been placing disclaimers before my stories.

I guess I was used to people doing that in FF.net. I realized it's not necessary to do it here. So I deleted them. LOL

Anyway, thank you!
I hope to learn more from this. =)

Chapter 1: *role, such a typo

Chapter 1: Well, yeah. What did you write is true.
Me as well, I won't easily click any random story especially the stories go with the title of too simple words, such us: love, be mine, plus, the stories which use song title: Lucifer, the chaser, or put many emoticon.
I think the emoticon thingy can be applied on shops, to make them more appealing.
but, some readers in AFF love that and I completely don't know why.
I just subscribed directly without looking at foreword or description only the stories written by famous author like Goddess(she's my fav), dbskgirl4ever, muzikmaster
and if they'r not famous authors, I'l scroll down and read what they've written.
Usually, the poster will make me want to subs them. there's no doubt that some of the stories without any attractive posters are good, but for me, poster takes a big roll of the story.

Glad to read your opinion, and luckily we've same ideas!

Chapter 1: This is hilarious. I agree with everything you've said. AFF has changed so much since two years ago, and it's painful to look through the updated stories since the titles all are such a turn off. But then again, it's sometimes amusing to read those badly written stories.

You said you might do recs. Do we ask you for a specific rec, or do you just decide when you feel like it?

Chapter 1: An update already? I'm impressed.

I'm intrigued. Let's see if what you say has any value to it.
