The Ten Commandments of Fanfiction

Feb 25, 2016 13:18

Saw something similar and thought I would make my own

1.  Thou shall use proper spelling, grammar, punctuation, and capitalization in thou works.  Likewise it shall be checketh before posting.

2.  Thou chapters will be separated into proper paragraphs.  Thou was given the enter key for a reason.

3.  Thou shalt not post three or less chapters before declaring a work is abandoned.

4.  Original characters shall not have ridiculously long names.  The same holds true for being ridiculously powerful.

5.  Thou shalt not make 95% of the cast be involved in a same-sex relationship.  The series would end because there would be no next generation.

6.  Thou shalt not write a xxx scene every chapter.  Unless you intend to write a work with no plot.

7.  Should the main character make a huge leap in power/intelligence there must be a reasonable explanation for how it happened.

8.  Thou shalt not post a chapter unless it contains part of thy work.  Random author notes enrage the masses.

9. Thou shall take the time to write a proper summary and include tags so thy work is searchable.

10.  Thou shalt not adopt a work from another author and then fail to finish it.
