Hi all,
Hoping to get the new year and fanfic writers off on the right foot
(without getting kicked by it), I proudly and egotistically present
to you my "Concise Guide To Better Fanfic Writing, Version 1.2":
<http://victorian.fortunecity.com/university/5/writing/index.htm>
Peruse and use as necessary, and feel free to offer corrections.
I posted the guide once before (about two years ago, I think) and
got a lot of (private e-mail) criticism for it, but fanfic writing
is still the same, some good and a lot bad. (My stories are crap,
but it's my crappy storytelling, not bad mechanics. ^_^) Hopefully
this guide is of use to somebody.
Oh yeah - SHINNEN OMEDETOU!!! (Since I can't post it by itself.)
Ja ne,
Shunsuke

upon the question of when the present century ends, as it is one of
the most absurd that can engage the public attention, and we are
astonished to find it has been the subject of so much dispute, since
it appears plain. The present century will not terminate till January
1, 1801, unless it can be made out that 99 are 100... It is a silly,
childish discussion, and only exposes the want of brains of those who
maintain a contrary opinion to that we have stated"
