Summary: I'm not going to pretend like I'm some Queen of writing. I have done many things in stories that a author should never do. Which is why I'm writing this sort of self help guide for beginner writers. I can't tell you all the things you should do in fan fiction, but I can tell you all the things your not suppose to do in one; And with the help of my oc's Ocha and Satoh, I hope to help your story from going to the flamers.

It's also a good way to get 'Okay, I've reviewed. Now where's the new chapter' kind of reviews. Or reviews that just list numbers, 'Number 4, one more to go'
Title: Japanese Lessons for Writers by Yumi
Rated: PG [Reviews - 6]
Rated: PG
[Reviews - 6]
Summary: Okay, I've been told three times that I haven't been spelling Japanese words right, when I known darn well that I am and why. . .
Thus, I'm making short Japanese lessons for all the writers on this site. I hope you take them to heart, because I don't want to explain why I spell the word 'otooto'.

Technically it is otouto, since it's spelled with the hiragana for o-to-u-to.
Author's Response: As I have said already: there are two different schools of thought. Since you do not say \"O.U\" (rather and elongated \"o\"), some people prefer to spell it \"otooto\". Others are more traditional and prefer the \"ou\". TECHNICALLY speaking, there are no real rules to the English spellings, thus there is a difference in spelling. I know how the hiragana works. I took Japanese for 9 years and grew up with the language. I know what I\'m talking about.\r\n\r\n- Yumi
