The story you want it to be

Let's start a short lesson on the story you want it to be.

Do you want the story to follow a certain game or create a original story that doesn't follow the original story?

Do you want the characters to act normal or Out of Character (OOC) meaning making them do crazy stuff that make them end up in weird places or kill each other?

Well, it's up to you to decide which story you want to write! Go ahead, have fun!

Selecting the catagories you want

Okay, you have created the story you wanted to create and want to put in the first chapter on a site or forum. On a site which there may be lots of fanfiction sites, they have a category system.

Here's examples of categories.

Lanuage

Rating

Genre

Section of anime, games, book,s etc

Characters 1 and 2

Status: in Progress and Completed

and finally, the summary of your story.

Go and fill them out, if they have a menu like bar, it'll be much easily!

Here's a tip of the day: Try to make the best summary of the story as you can, sometimes, some sites have a word limit on a summary and you have to be more careful on writing the summary.

Rule number 1: Always follow the Disclaimers

When inspirtation hit you, you want to turn that idea into a fanfic. Well, now let's get started. You can turn it into a normal story or crossover, depending on what you choose. But there are rules that need to be followed before you can submit your story on a site or forum: The Discilaimer.

The Disclaimer is a thing that states that you do not own material from a game, TV show, book, anime, etc and say the name of the companies that own them. If you refused to follow the disclimaer rules, you may get sued, or worse, get your fanfic off a site or get arrested, which is even worse.

Here's a exmaple of a disclimaer. (Note: Sorry, can't spell sometimes.)

Disclaimer: I do not own (Insert Name of game, anime, TV show, etc here) or it's characters, their respected companies do and will no way steal the copyrighted material for profit.

This is one of the rules that need to be followed if you want to make a fanfic. In case you're wondering what a fanfic is, it's a fan made story based on favorite anime, games, Tv shows, etc.

So there you go, the Disclaimer rule.

Here's a tip: If you have a Original Character you made or OC, you can put in this: I do however own my OC (Insert name of person, or people here).

I'll cover the OC part in a later post. Stay tune for more tips, rules or tricks!
