10 Writing Tips

1) Your summary is everything. The story summary is the key to getting readers. You have to sum your story up with a quick, interesting sentence or two to catch readers’ attention. Remember how many countless summaries they’re searching through to find a good story? Make yours top-notch. Tell them at the very end, in as few words as possible, info such as whether the story is slash or has an Original Character or an Alternate Universe. Saying so at the beginning distracts from the summary itself.

2) Don’t apologize for your own story. If you don’t have confidence in your own writing, why should anyone else? Don’t tell everyone you’re a brand new author or that this is your first fanfic ever. This won’t get you a sympathy vote. It will only make you look inexperienced and unprofessional.

3) Always finish a story before you even think of posting your very first chapter on the site. “But I need motivation from my readers to keep me writing,” I hear you say. Reviews are rewards, not motivation. You should write for your own pleasure. If other people like it, that’s a bonus. “I had every intention of finishing it,” you might insist. Sorry, not a good enough excuse. If you start a story and don’t finish it, you’ve let all your readers down.

4) Stay away from purple prose. “Striking emerald orbs” sounds impressive, but that doesn’t mean it’s better than just saying “green eyes”. Let’s stay away from insanely gooey romance-novel writing, shall we?

5) Stick to past tense. Present tense is much harder to keep consistent, and switching from present to past tense is sure to confuse everyone who reads your story.

6) Proofread your story. Read it and edit. Then read and edit again. Have someone else read and edit it, too (preferably someone older and more educated than you). I know, I know, everyone wants to post their chapter once they’re done, but if it’s full of mistakes you’ll regret it later. This is where having your story finished is very helpful. You won’t have to worry about hurriedly posting because you’ve taken forever to update.

7) Avoid Mary Sues. We’ve all put her in one story or another. Yes, we all want an amazing heroine who is perfect. But make sure you’re main girl (whether OC or not) is as realistic as possible. She needs weaknesses, flaws, and quirks just like any character to make her interesting and lovable.

8) Stay away from 2nd person. 1st or 3rd person are much easier to write and read.

9) OOC (Out of Character) only works in an AU (Alternate Universe). This is fanfiction after all. The characters are not your own (unless they are Original Characters) so you have to stick to their pre-created personalities. But if your story is in an AU, feel free to test the waters of OOCness. But swim at your own risk.

10) You write like you read. If all you read is fanfiction, which is mostly amateur-written, then you will undoubtedly write like an amateur. If you read professionally written and published books, your writing will grow in quality

Proof that Sasuke cares for Sakura..

-During the bell test, when Sakura fainted from seeing his head above ground, and the rest below, Sasuke waited for her to wake up, even though he probably knows he's wasting time.
-When they were escorting Tazuna to the Wave Country, Sasuke rushed in front of Sakura to protect her and Tazuna, even though Kakashi would have come.
-When Sasuke and Naruto were fighting Haku, Zabuza went to attack Tazuna but Kakashi protected him and Sakura screamed. When she did, you could hear worry in Sasuke's voice when they heard her.
-During the Chuunin Exams in The Forest of Death, when Sasuke and Sakura first found Orochimaru, disguised as a grass nin, when he stabbed his leg to get rid of the whole frozen in fear thing, when he went to pick up Sakura, he could have done it many ways, but he chose to pick her up bridal style.
-Again during the Chunnin Exams in The Forest of Death, when Sasuke and Naruto were fighting Orochimaru disguised as a grass nin, after Orochimaru gave Naruto the five-pronged seal. When Sakura called him a coward, he reacted. He didn't react when Naruto called him a coward.
-After Orochimaru gave Sasuke the Cursed Seal, Sakura went to help him. I'm not sure if this is just because he was in a lot of pain, but instead of dealing with the pain by himself, like I thought he would, he actually let Sakura help him and the animators made him faint onto her. In addition, you could see how Sasuke squeezes Sakura's hand with his own, as if asking her to not let him go.
-Also during the Chuunin Exams in The Forest of Death, when Sasuke wakes up, the first thing he does is ask Sakura who hurt her. Even the influence of the Curse Seal couldn't change the bond he has with her.
-Another in The Forest of Death, when Sakura hugged him, the Curse Seal receded. I think that happened because Sakura's just about the only person who can suppress Sasuke's dark side...the pity things is it wasn't enough... -During the Preliminary Rounds of the Chuunin Exams, the first thing Sasuke thought of when he was trying to make his curse mark recede was the image of Sakura crying, begging him to stop. Again a proof that Sakura has some sort of control over his mind.
-After Gaara semi-changed into his Shukaku form, and after he pinned Sakura to the tree with his sand hand, Sasuke told Naruto that he had better save Sakura no matter what, then run away.
-Also during this time, Sasuke also said that he wouldn't allow another important friend to die in front of him, referring to Sakura.
-Again during this time, when Sasuke went to catch Sakura after the sand released her, there were many ways of catching her, but he had to catch her bridal style. I know that's the way she fell, but then, who made her fall that way. The people who make Naruto. I say, they're hinting something by making Sakura fall in that manner.
-Do I have to say it, when Sasuke told Pakkun to take care of Sakura, you could hear worry in his voice. His eyes also softened a bit.
-After the Hokage's funeral, in the flashback when Sakura asked Sasuke if he save her, he said that Naruto saved her. You can tell that he had regret and sadness in his voice. Like he wanted to save her.
-When they were escorting Idate through the race, while on the boat when the Rain nin were attacking, Sakura's arm was hit by a kunai. Even though it was only a small cut, when she cried out in pain, Sasuke showed a hint of worry on his face. (More than just a hint in my book.)
-When Ino hugged him during the Chuunin Exams, Sasuke was very mad and pissed off. But when Sakura hugged him in the hospital, he didn't have any hatred in his eyes and he let her.
-During Naruto and Sasuke's fight on the hospital roof, when Sakura ran in the way to try and stop them, Sasuke wanted to pull back. It means he cares for her well being in some way; or else, he would have just ran her through.
-This one I thought was implied. Who confronted Sasuke the night he left? Sakura. And there was more to it than it seems: I think Sakura, judging by the look Sasuke had in his eyes, really made Sasuke wonder if he should leave. Watch it closely, people!
-Also when Sasuke was leaving, before he knocked her out, he said "Thank you." This shows that he was actually thankful that she loves him...provided that Sakura was almost the only person in the world who actually loved him (he lost his family after all) and still loves him...that's way worth to be thanking her for, don't you think?
-The night Sasuke was leaving, just before he said, "Sakura...Thank you" you can see, if you look closely, that he's biting his lower lip before he talks and then knocks her out.
-In the English dub, you can hear how sincere Sasuke's voice is.
-Also in the English dub, Sasuke, instead of saying, "Thank you" like in the Japanese, he says "Thank you for everything." I know they want to get the lip motions right but come on, how can that NOT point to something.
-When Sasuke knocked her out, he could have left her on the ground where she lay, but he chose to lay her on the bench.
-After Sasuke knocked Sakura out I could tell that he caught her. The thud when the screen was blank sounds like Sakura fell to the ground but it's actually Sasuke catching her. I know this because of the way Sakura started to fall. That ground was stone and if Sasuke didn't catch her, she would have hit her head severely. If that happened, she wouldn't have been able to wake up the next morning when the ANBU people woke her up.
-Sasuke knows that Sakura is weaker than Naruto, yet he doesn't call her 'weak' or 'idiot'. Just 'annoying'. And I also think that he calls her like that in a good way...I mean by annoying someone, you could really make yourself noticed and even show your better side...Well, at least this is how it is the real life...So why the hell this cannot be in anime too? In conclusion: Sakura manages to at least make him feel something.
Only for up to date manga readers...
-Very subtle hint that may just be my opinion. When Sasuke blows up the hallway and he's looking down in the hole at Sai, Sakura is the first one to see the new Sasuke. She's the one he last saw when he left Konoha (left the city, not during the Find Sasuke Arc) and she's the first one he sees out of Team 7.
-When Naruto, Sakura, Sai and Yamato go to find Sasuke, and after they do. It was after Sasuke talked with the Kyuubi. He said that he didn't want to use any of his cruder methods. Of course, Orochimaru stopped him, but that shows that even after two and a half years, he still cares, even if it's just a little. He still has "bonds."
-When Naruto, Sakura, Sai and Yamato met up with Sasuke, the only one to come out from that meeting physically unharmed was Sakura.
-Some say that Karin, in Team Hebi, has hot pink hair. That is possible, cause if the pink is darker, i think manga-drawers would actually make them black...well, you can't make them grey, like between light pink and brown or red. But back to the topic. If Karin did have pink hair then maybe Sasuke picked her because she reminded him of Sakura. The pink hair and the specialty with chakra.
Movies...
-In the first Naruto movie, at the end when the Snow Country became the Spring Country, when all the snow melted, you could see Sakura and Sasuke. Sasuke had his head resting on Sakura's lap and he didn't mind.
-All throughout the movie, Sasuke and Sakura were always working together.
-Again, when Sasuke was leaving, he put up with all of Sakura's talking instead of ignoring her like he normally does. He even gave her a speech. A short one, but still.
-Once again, after Sasuke caught Sakura and went to lay her down on a branch, if you look closely, you will noticed his hand lingers under her head for a split second.

Girls are like
apples on trees. The best
ones are at the top of the tree.
The boys don't want to reach for
the good ones because they are afraid
of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they
just get the rotten apples from the ground
that aren't as good, but easy. So the apples
at the top think something is wrong with
them, when in reality, they're amazing.
They just have to wait for the right
boy to come along, the one

Everyone in the apartment complex I lived in knew who Ugly was. Ugly was the resident tomcat. Ugly loved three things in this world: fighting, eating garbage, and, shall we say, love.
The combination of these things combined with a life spent outside had their effect on Ugly. To start with, he had only one eye and where the other should have been was a hole. He was also missing his ear on the same side, his left foot appeared to have been badly broken at one time, and had healed at an unnatural angle, making him look like he was always turning the corner.
Ugly would have been a dark gray tabby, striped type, except for the sores covering his head, neck, and even his shoulders. Every time someone saw Ugly there was the same reaction. “That’s one UGLY cat !”
All the children were warned not to touch him, the adults threw rocks at him, hosed him down, squirted him when he tried to come in their homes, or shut his paws in the door when he would not leave. Ugly always had the same reaction.
If you turned the hose on him, he would stand there, getting soaked until you gave up and quit. If you threw things at him, he would curl his lanky body around your feet in forgiveness.
Whenever he spied children, he would come running, meowing frantically and bump his head against their hands, begging for their love.
If you ever picked him up he would immediately begin suckling on your shirt, earrings, whatever he could find.
One day Ugly shared his love with the neighbor’s dogs. They did not respond kindly, and Ugly was badly mauled. I tried to rush to his aid. By the time I got to where he was laying, it was apparent Ugly’s sad life was almost at an end.
As I picked him up and tried to carry him home, I could hear him wheezing and gasping, and could feel him struggling. It must be hurting him terribly, I thought.
Then I felt a familiar tugging, sucking sensation on my ear. Ugly, in so much pain, suffering and obviously dying, was trying to suckle my ear. I pulled him closer to me, and he bumped the palm of my hand with his head, then he turned his one golden eye towards me, and I could hear the distinct sound of purring.
Even in the greatest pain, that ugly battled scarred cat was asking only for a little affection, perhaps some compassion. At that moment I thought Ugly was the most beautiful, loving creature I had ever seen. Never once did he try to bite or scratch me, try to get away from me, or struggle in any way. Ugly just looked up at me completely trusting in me to relieve his pain.
Ugly died in my arms before I could get inside, but I sat and held him for a long time afterwards, thinking about how one scared, deformed little stray could so alter my opinion about what it means to have true pureness of spirit, to love so totally and truly.
Ugly taught me more about giving and compassion than a thousand books, lectures, or talk show specials ever could, and for that I will always be thankful. He had been scarred on the outside, but I was scarred on the inside, and it was time for me to move on and learn to love truly and deeply. To give my total to those I cared for.

Can anyone see this smile I'm faking,
See how, inside, I'm constantly shaking?
These people all claim they know me well,
Yet no one can see through my crumbling shell?
"I'm fine", I whisper, my sadness unknown,
They leave me to deal with this anguish alone.
I've hidden behind this wall most of my life,
I've managed so far, I've dealt with my strife.
Watching as, slowly, my blood leaks away,
It helps to keep life's true horrors at bay.
I pull down my sleeve to cover my hurt
For approaching footsteps, I'm on the alert.
I guess my pretense is just all too real,
No one has to know of the pain that I feel.
The real me inside, where no one can see,
I can fool everyone else, why can't I fool me?

What really pisses me off about people, is when they judge. Oh, that chicks 15 and pregnant, she must be a slut. That guy has scars all over his face! he's so ugly. That girl cuts, she must be emo. That guy is gay, he's going to rot in hell for liking men. That guy has old, ripped clothes, he must be homeless. That guy is so fat, he must weigh a ton! That girl is so damn skinny, she's all skin and bones. That chick puts on way too much make-up! she looks like a clown! No, shut the f*ck up. You don’t know their story, so don’t act like you do! That girl, who’s 15 and pregnant? Yeah, she was raped. That guy with scars all over his face? He fought to save our country. That girl who cuts? Her parents are always fighting and saying she’s the reason why. And that guy who’s gay? He already gets put down by his Dad at home. And that guy with the old, ripped clothes? His Mum is struggling to even buy food. That guy who’s so fat? Yeah, he has an eating disorder, or that girl who is so skinny? Her Dad hardly lets her eat anything, says she’s too fat. That ‘chick’ who puts on too much make-up? She has bruises all over her face from being abused at home. You may know their name, but don’t think just because of that, you know their story. So maybe you should look deeper before you judge. Grow the f*ck up, have some compassion for other people, and remember: You Know Their Name, Not Their Story.
