How to Write a Kingdom Hearts Fic in 10 Steps

Are we ready to begin the third part in our little lessons of hilarious boredom? Let's hope so!
Step 6) Now is your chance to go through and add a little 'you.' If you are writing in script and you want all of the words that come out of Kairi's (very large) mouth to be red, do so! I don't know if they will show up that way on the net or not, I haven't tried it. Don't kill me, I said I would teach you, I didn't say I was an expert on writing fics or anything. *coughancoughiicoughstoncough* did you catch that? hehe...
So anyways, if you are mysteriously very much like me ~like maybe you feel like trying all my beauty tips and good looks (okay so I don't always hate copycats!)~ you might use italics or bold or bold italic.
Let me mention at this time that it was a pain in the butt to write that last sentence because I don't have a mouse cuz SOMEONE ~who looks alot like a big brother of mine...~ took my mouse for his new computer program. So I had to go:

(down)
font
tab
regularitalics
okay well if you have wordpad try it out and see what I mean. But it took me like ten minutes to write six words.
It got really boring. But now if I could actually stay on topic, I would tell you how to do step 7. Which I am about to do. I am about to tell you how to do step 7. That's right. I will. Sometime this year. Maybe.
Mew Suika: On with the fic! Kazumi: I will hang up on you if you continue telling me how to write this fic!
Step 7) Start doing some serious revising. This means reading your fic or chapter thousands of times and having your friend listen to it on the telephone. On second thought, that was kind of a bad choice in my case...
~You asked for it, Sui!!~
If your friend has some ideas, you might want to jot them down and later apply them. I know, I know, your fic couldn't be any better, you're a perfect writer, and what does your friend know, anyways? But we all tend to... shall we say, overestimate how we write and the quality of it? So your friend may know some tips.
It is also great to hear your friends laugh at a funny part or crack up when you go over an inside joke of yours you just couldn't help but put in the fic.... Does "eyebrows" ring any bells? ~Suika and I found it hilarious, for our own reasons.... eyebrows! hehehe~
Sometimes if you read through it, you catch a typo or a page that could've been much better. MUCH better. On the other hand, if you read it too many times, your face turns green from the glare of the computer screen and you skip those typos because you read over it way too much. You know you're obsessed with it when:
a) you say, "Oh no! The Destiny Islands!" When you see a shooting star. b) you seriously believe Riku is a girl. c) you refuse to visit beaches for fear of... well, let's just leave it at "fear." d) you start using the phrase "lemon" in your everyday life. e) all the above.
Okay... um I think Suika and I apply to just about everything.
Step 8) Make sure all your data and stories and crap and all those little things you find so hilarious that everyone else laughs at for sheer stupidity is saved on your compooter. Hopefully you have your own computer, cuz otherwise you'll have to save it within a hundred folders under a password that no one will ever think of like maybe... "keyblade" or "princess."
Actually I don't even know if that is possible. But you need to save all your info down. Duh! Anyways, we are coming very close to the publishing part! Grab your laptops and get ready!
Step 9) In order to do this step, that involves brainstorming, ~ I lied. Sue me.~ you may have to stare at your KH personalized desktop for a while or drool over the Little Blond Kid of the KH trailer ~Suika:*lowers eyebrows*~ OR you can take your strategy guide opened to the page with Squall on it to bed with you.
This step is coming up with a decent title and summary. You can call it something stupid, like "Kingdom Hearts," or you can call it something very evil and wonderful and catchy like, "The Day Riku Maimed Kairi With a Land Mine and Then Suffocated Her."
Come to think of it, the second you finish reading this fic, do a story called "The Day Riku Maimed Kairi With a Land Mine and Then Suffocated Her."
~And by the way, Suika and I had along discussion on what "maimed" means.~
(Real) Telephone Conversation:
Suika: The Day Riku WHAT Kairi? Don't tell me you were talking about a lemon!
Kazumi: Noooo! Maimed!
Suika: Maned?
Kazumi: No, maimed!
Suika: Named?
Kazumi: Maimed!
Suika: As in, m-a-m-e-d?
Kazumi: M-a-i-m-e-d.
Suika: Oh. Okay, I'll go look it up.
As far as the summaries go, I am a person who is attracted to things that sound hilarious or romantic. Or anything that involves the death of Kairi. ~which was my only ambivalent thought of Maiselph.~
I know what this big word means!
Ambivalence (am-bi'-vuh-lens)/n/- the feeling of having a strong liking of or attraction to, while simultaneously hating or disliking.
That means I loved Maiselph while hating the fact Kairi lives.
Sorry...
Make your summary as interesting as possible, but I swear, if you give away the ending in your summary, I will kill you! Don't be an idiot!
