How To Make a KH Fan Fic
in 10 Steps
By Chi21
Although this does not have anything to do with KH, I do not own Kingdom Hearts.
Chapter 1~ Dreaming Up the Story
So you want to make your own Kingdom Hearts fic? Or you really want to share this little itty bitty piece of info with everyone you caught in the game? Or you want to criticize the game beyond all reason? Or you just really want to show everyone what a "great" typer you are? Or you're just really bored cuz you're skipping school and you beat the game and already ate a whole package of Oreos?
I'll teach ya!
But of course this is only if you really want to learn. You can only read this for pleasure if you're already an expert at writing fanfics, like Aniiston. ~Maiselph is the best story ever. Read it if you ever get a chance but make sure you'll have time. Just go see it, you'll see what I meant. Thankies for writing such an awesome story Aniiston ^o^ ~ .... What was that all about?! Okay anyways...
Step 1) Brainstorm. This does not mean having your friend dump a bucket of water on your head for rain while sticking your finger in a light socket for lightning. This means playing the game 24/7 and listening to the soundtrack long enough to dream about it. Actually that isn't brainstorming, either. Cuz I am in the middle of a fic and I have no idea what is on the Soundtrack and furthermore do not even own the game. Although me and my friend have been obsessed with the game since its release date, and I play it everytime I go over her house. Which is often. But my brother is getting it soon... Pressure, pressure! Are you reading this, big bro?
Brainstorm. If you wanna write a romance, decide what your pairing will be. And stick to it, unless it's gonna be the Young and the Heartless instead of the Young and the Restless. If you're going for angst, plot some good murders and... please give Kairi a bloody one. ~ That was for you, Mew Friendie! ~ Just forget that. Inside joke. Anyways, if you would rather make your readers sob and cry and fall into a depression so deep that they stab themselves with their handmade keyblades, go for tragedy. Once again I beg you kill Kairi.
Some helpful things to do are make a list, write some things down on paper, or just skip this entire step and forget everything you just read. Make it up as you go. This is my favorite way to do this but...
Step 2) Start typing! We know your witch-like comp teacher killed you with all kinds of programs, but hold onto your heart for a second- these will actually come in handy!!! Sorry I absolutely love italics. Your typing classes that you failed will help you get your ideas out of your crummy brain and onto the compooter screen in seconds. Unfortunately, I am obviously giving credit to my typing teachers ~who all oddly resembled witches~ and I do not like to give credit to people unless they truly deserve it. ~Aniiston deserved it!~
Even if your Esc key is missing and you store dead flies there, type anyway. ~f.y.i. my Esc key is seriously missing. Um, about the flies...~ You need to publicize this great stuff! Do you hear me? PUBLICIZE! That means type! Yes! Get off the KH special edition pillow and controller and get typing!
Step 3) Decide how long your chapters are going to be. Are they gonna be really long? Or will they be 2-liners that everyone at ff.net will have kicked out of there faster than you can say, 'the end?' Okay, so they can be 20 mages long if you want them to be. ~That was a typo, no pun intended!~ pages. Or they can be a few. Its all up to how many days you wanna skip school a week! This chapter will be really short cuz I have to go to school every day!
Also, you want to decide on some basic plot points. What will happen from the beginning through the end? How will you maneuver your little pawns to make these events happen and fit each piece into the wonderful puzzle we call a story? ~Actually no one calls them stories. They are fics.~ This goes along with the brainstorming part.
After thinking over and typing up some basic plot twists in your chicken scratch type that only you can read, yer rdy 2 move on2 ch2 + stps 4-5!
*******************
You have no reason to review this. Unless it actually helped you out and put some joy and peace in your life... See you next chapter! Oh, by the way, I just got KH! But I bought it. I'm at the soon, Kairi, soon (hehehe) part. I saw all the important videos, though, cuz my friend showed em all to me.
