What This Is by A Vampires Butterfly
Okay guys. This is A Vampires Butterfly. Now I have only been here since January and I am kind of new still. I defiantly remember what it is like to get here for the first time and post up your first story, wondering if it is okay and if you did everything okay. Now my first fanfic only got two reviews to this day, but I have worked hard from that fic on, but only because I got such great encouragement and advice in reviews. I also learned from other great writers, taking what I could from their writing and testing it out in my own. Now I am here to ask any authors that will.
Will you give advice to the newbies?
I know that it is an effort to read new fics and then try to point out what is wrong and how to correct it in a desperate hope that they will listen. So I have started this thing to let the newbies come to us. We offer advice. KIND advice. On things we usually find wrong with newbie fics and how they could correct them. Maybe show how to get a good plot going or maybe advise them to space out their paragraphs or capitalize their titles. Anything you can think of that would help please post it here.
I think this will help. I just hope they will read and learn.
