Guide to Writing Summaries

This is to all of my fanfiction.net peeps, and to anyone who wants to learn how to write a quick, less-than-five sentences summary of their fanfiction or story. 1. For the love of all that is good fanfiction/writing, stop writing summaries like this: A story about a boy and a girl that meet on vacation...Sry I suck at summaries. Plz read. It's good I promise. I am so much better at writing stories than writing summaries. Before you even try to give me an excuse, let me give you a fact. 99.99999999% of readers DO NOT EVEN BOTHER TO READ YOUR STORY BECAUSE OF THAT. I can't tell you how many times I have seen that on FFN and I just keep on scr

The Guide to Writing Settings

The time and place where a story is set is extremely essential to your story and can even set the tone of the story. Usually, when a writer begins to think of a story, where it takes place is usually one of the first things to pop into mind. But just in case you're the type who has a little trouble in this area, here's a guide to help you! 1. Geographical Area The where is usually the first stop on this journey, and sometimes even the first thing you write about in your very first chapter. Where does our story begin? A big urban city in a lavish apartment, the slums, or in a quiet suburb, a small town with a lot of issues, a rural farming t

Guide to Creating Villains

Good day to all the writers of the world! And people in general. In light of the very humbling popularity of my Guide to Writing Fanfiction, I've decided to start creating more guides! I thought villains would be a good place to start. This is my first go at making a guide for specific characters so we'll see how this goes! Origins: Most villains are not born evil. Something triggers the villain gene. Usually, the antagonist has a personal vendetta against the protagonist. It can be they accidentally stole the love of their life, rejected, rival from childhood and throughout their lives, took their dream job, or even the protagonist got the

The Girl In Chains by EmpressTuiLa, literature

Literature

The Girl In Chains

I've been alone all along... Those are the words that rang in my head. Ever since coming here...it's been nothing but empty promises, broken friendships, and everlasting things fading. Ridiculed, lectured, teased, that's all I've known. Is that all I'll ever know? All around me are carefree people not thinking about the ground they leave as they soar in to the sky. I want to soar too, to taste that freedom. Will it ever come? Will my fears that tie me to the ground keep me there forever? Am I to just watch the people around me take off and fly while I'm chained to the ground? Does no one notice the girl that lifted them towards the sky in

Guide to Writing Romance

EmpressTuiLa's Guide to Writing Romance Stories Welcome, welcome! I recently got a request to create a guide to writing romance stories which, I would like to say is my specialty but alas I don't want to sound conceited, so I will say it is definitely my favorite genre to write! I'm no expert and this is not the definitive way to write romances, but hopefully this will give you a good idea on where to start and what to do. Also, please do comment about what I have written and what else you would like to see! Sometimes I want to put something in but forget, or you'll have an idea that I didn't even think of and would love to put in the guide

Hallow's Academy Chapter 2

Chapter 2: Moving Day Amelia's mother came into her daughter's room, about a half hour after their argument, with a sympathetic and apologetic look on her features. Amelia looked up at her with an unreadable expression before going back to packing away her favorite movies in a storage box. "Honey…" she paused, as though thinking about her next words carefully, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you upset, but I honestly think going to Hallow's Academy will be a good change for you." "Why?" she put away a few more DVDs and looked up at her, "We've never even glanced at Hallow's Academy once and now suddenly I'm going there without even

EmpressTuiLa’s Guide to Writing Fanfiction There are a lot of novice writers out there, including those who are still debating whether to write or not, so I’m here to provide the basic rules for good Fanfiction. Why am I making this? I’ve read way too many stories written so poorly that it’s driven me insane. So for those of you who want to avoid people writing bad reviews, or just simply worried if your story sounds good, then follow these simple rules and you’ll be fine. (As a warning, I do get a little testy in this so forgive me if I sound angry…which I do) #1 For the love of all that is good fanficti

Hallow's Academy Teaser

Hallow's Academy Chapter 1: Richard Light My name is Amelia Brave. I am something mere mortals only dream about, a magical being. I discovered my powers six years ago when I was nine by accident and no one knew about it, not even my parents. I kept my abilities to myself because I would rather not become some laboratory rat, so I practiced in quiet. Over the years I became stronger as I exercised my powers, and as time passed it grew harder to keep my secret a secret. I always thought I was special in that no one I knew seemed to even be capable of what I could do, but that all came crashing down the day Headmaster Richard Light walked into

Black Ribbon by EmpressTuiLa, literature

Literature

Black Ribbon

A writer can be inspired by the simplest, most mundane objects in everyday life. A penny on the ground, a dandelion swaying slightly in a breeze, a black ribbon lying in the grass, things most people overlook or brush by without a glance. But it is these seemingly simple things that give writers our greatest ideas. A passerby might see a black ribbon haphazardly discarded in the grass and think nothing of it, just walk on by. A writer would glance at it, and see an entirely different world. Imagine a young man who had a very gloomy day until a girl with a kind smile came up to him and talked to him. His day has been brightened and the more h

The Dreamer by EmpressTuiLa, literature

Literature

The Dreamer

A typical eighteen year-old, going on nineteen, female college student walked down the sidewalk, passing many campus buildings on her way to her first morning class. Though she appeared to be focused on where she was going, her mind was elsewhere. The sidewalk morphed into a grand stage, the trees grew into pulled back curtains, and the large buildings became the auditorium where faceless people sat in the audience. The girl's backpack had vanished and her clothes had been replaced by a delicate, white dress with a flowing skirt that hit just above her knees. Her casual walk turned into a graceful, fluid dance of splendorous beauty. A gentle,

After MANY years

0 min read

I'm picking up my pencil and starting a fanfiction. Sorry but it won't be a Nightmare Series one, though I really need to do some oneshots or something because recently I've been getting notes and such. I'm so happy I still have readers!! :heart: Either way, this one is based off the Skulduggery Pleasant series by Derek Landy. It's a fantastical amazing series and the final book JUST came out and I finally got my copy too. I almost don't want to read it because I don't want it to end!!! Probably part of the reason why I'm so inclined to write fanfiction. Either way, if you like sharp wit, humor, sarcasm, mystery, adventure, fantasy, and all

Enough Depression

Sorry guys, it seems like I leave my depressing journal entries up here all the time XD; My bad... Anywayz, happy holidays everybody! Even though it's extremely belated! I'm alive and surviving college, somehow ^^; It's been crazy stressful but I've been managing. On a brighter note, I've been going through a personality change of sorts. I'm a bit of a shy person, so I've been trying to change that outward image of me being shy and trying to boost my self-confidence. I've been changing my wardrobe so I wear clothes that make me feel good and look good, and it helps when I get compliments too :) Just been trying to do little things to boost
