~How to write a Teen Titans fanfiction~
By Urhairsmellsnice

Chapter 1:
Determining the Plot of Your Fanfiction.

The first thing you should do while writing a Teen Titans fanfiction is find a story or another fanfiction you like and make a poorly disguised copy of that.

Think for a second…
Do you have a favorite fanfiction in mind? Good.
Now think on the plot of this fanfiction. Here is an example of an original story that you will potentially borrow from:

"Robin's long lost sister Regina is back from the dead! Or was she ever even dead in the first place? Robin despairs not being able to tell his beloved little sister his identity. As it seems, she is in more danger than Robin thought possible for her. Will he be able to help her? Together can they overcome their tragic past?"

Now, that would be a typical hurt/comfort/family or family/adventure fic or something of the sort. Let's say this is your all time favorite fanfiction of the Teen Titans category, you just love it! You review every chapter, it's on your favorites list, and you have a story alert for it, just awesome, right?

Okay here is how you will get your perfect Teen Titans fanfiction, first change your O/C's name, instead of Regina now you will call her Veronica (Ronnie for short because you just LOVED the movie The Last Song, and it's originally a boy's name so that makes it a cool girls name) or some other name you like.

Next, instead of her being a seemingly innocent civilian that got involved with the wrong people you should give Ronnie kick*** super powers that are much better than anyone else's in the Titans that she got when she was bitten by a mutant animal (sound familiar?) or something.

They also made her eyes glow or turned them some abnormal freaky color, turned her skin a weird color, gave her fangs, gave her pointy ears, made her insanely beautiful, made her hair turn a different color, or changed her in any major physical or mental way.
Put in any combination of the things in the last sentence because stuff like that is very cool. And it totally does not make your character seem like a Mary Sue.

Also instead of being Robin's younger sister, make her a twin, because, you know, twins are epic. Ohhh! Sudden brainstorm! Cyborg AND Beast Boy should fall madly in love with her causing division in the team.

She should secretly be in love with Beast Boy but leads them both on unknowingly, then she breaks poor Beast Boy's heart because she tell him she loves him but she can't be with him because it would be too dangerous.

Now Raven and Starfire should be like so totally jealous of Ronnie because she so much prettier and cooler and more powerful and just plain amazing in every single way.

Lastly Ronnie should know everything there is to know about the canon because she just that cool and she's known her brother was alive all along and she knew that he was Robin and that Batman was his guardian and EVERYTHING else that you'd think that even the canon characters didn't know.

Therefore, the summary for your story should be something along the lines of this:

"So like Robin has a twin sister and shes like uber powerful and she knows all of his secrets. And shes so beutiful and stuff so beast Boy and Cyborg fall in love with her. She makes Raven and Starfire like soooo jealous because she gets all the attention and they're just mean *****es like that. And even though she can handel her problems on her own cause she's soo totaly powerful Robin has to be over protekteve and barges in to help her even though she doesn't even need it and stuff."

After you write the first chapter of your story, you should review the original or Private Message the author and ask them to read your story. If they accuse you of plagiarizing or copying their plot, story, or idea, get very offended and ask how they could dare say something like that. Or you could just act all confused and say something along the lines of "I don't know what you're talking about, My Friend. I've never read another story like this one."

The trick is to pay no mind to spelling or grammar in your story and summary. Make sure to use the words like, so, totally, and the phrase 'and stuff' as much as humanly possible. It lets people know that you are mature and serious about your writing and that your writing style is really, very good.

Your story should be broken up. And all of your sentences. Well they have to be short. And remember use and to start sentences a lot. Make sure that when you read your story out loud. It sounds really bad and choppy. That's how all the good writers do it. you don't really need capitals to start a sentence. It's also Ok to Randomly capitalize Words within a sentence. Never ever use good adjectives to describe something. 'cause that like makes everyone else feel bad. Y'know cause it makes you seem so smarter than them and stuff. So you have to make sure to use small words. So people who read it don't feel bad and relate to your writing. Never ever ever use commas apostrophes parentheses or any other punctuation except periods. Oh and the enter button that puts spaces between your paragraphs. NEVER use it. dont indent either, it just looks stupid. And OMG it's aite 2 use txt tlk whn your riting it makes u snd kool nd ppl will be like LOL cause whn u tlk lyk ths they undrstnd u btter when u jk. Oh and make sure that your plot moves really really really uber fast. 'cause it makes it easier to read and more fun. You should get to the climax of the story around the middle of chapter four or five.

Pretty much write exactly like I did in the paragraph, but no worries, there will be more on writing style and grammar later on in this guide. You can also do what is instructed above by copying movies, plays, books or just ideas your friends or family happen to mention to you to gather your opinion.

Really, normal people can't come up with a plot on there on so it's okay to copy someone else's, everybody does it, and it's not really plagiarism, its borrowing.

If you want to try something original, jump in front of the latest trend. Something like; Robin being turned into a werewolf, Beast Boy is really a wizard, Raven is made into a vampire, Starfire's alien DNA starts a zombie apocalypse, Cyborg is sent to train at a secret ninja academy so he can learn to be just like Naruto. Anything along the lines of any of these plots is sure to be really popular with EVERYBODY. So roll with trends. If you follow my easy and simple guidelines, your story will be raking in the reviews in no time.
