My reason for turning my blogs into this little “fanfiction” is that I was tired of having random people friend me to keep up with my blogs without saying anything. It was kind of creepy. Also, because a lot of my rants were spur of the moment things without much thought to how rude or baseless they sounded; I would like to revise them and perhaps enhance their intended meaning a little more.

Why I am writing these rants? I look past the bigger picture of the freedom to write and express. I hope that writing can be used as a developmental tool. Literature leads to enrichment and furthering of knowledge and understanding. I feel like I am an English teacher right now, but we need to look past which stories have the most readers and comments and see what really makes our fics enjoyable.

By correcting your mistakes and hopefully bettering your writing as a whole, you will see readers that value you more and show more enthusiasm for your writing even as they grow used to your style. Comments will be more than the “Nice chapter, update soon!” Comments will lead to pointing out different aspects that blew their minds and how they actually feel about the chapter or chapters. More than just the “Oh my God, they finally had !” Observations will lead to cause and effect due to various courses the characters take. You will get substantial feedback from the most important people, the readers.

Above all, I just want people to stop writing like trashy little thirteen years olds that haven’t stepped foot into a high school writing class. I have seen the ups and downs of AFF. There are good writers and there are bad (very, very bad) writers; there are old writers and there are young writers. With the surplus of authors and fanfics, it is a contest just to have your fic read. You have to do a lot of things “right” to get any attention, though many are never deserving of this fame.

Not only are these rants intended for writers, these are meant for readers too. Why do you choose to read poor quality fics over the decent ones? Why do you ignore a fic that only has two chapters, or is a oneshot? Why must it be rated for you to enjoy it? Why do so many people like reading (and writing) fics for whichever band is currently hyped?

I hope that I point out the mistakes beginner fanfic writers make and also prevent them from going down a bad path. At the same time, I will try and correct the bad habits of the more experienced writers and give tips on how to fix these habits for good.

There is a reason why people hate reading your story. [Keep in mind this has been an ongoing project since 2010]

As I revise each rant and post them, not necessarily in order, I will add the link to the original blogs because those are actually funny if you don't mind the insults to people's intelligence. 

I have seen a few other advice "fics" like mine that have many similar points. Many others are worded better and sound more logical. In fact, I know there are some that are exact copies of mine but worded intelligently. I'm only a college student, not a wordsmith. I also don't have perfect grammar. This isn't meant to teach you how to be a perfect writer with perfect grammar and a perfect vocabulary; therefore, I am not going to touch on grammar much, if ever. In fact, while I say I want this to be respectable, there is going to be informal language and fake terms. This is a rant first and foremost. 

I AM NOT CURRENTLY ACCEPTING REQUESTS FOR REVIEWS!
