Wow! When I got the first review I was like "..O.O… Oh my God… IT'S NOT A FLAME! YESSS!" xD. I reread the story and I said "My God… OK, I KNOW I spell checked this thing!" because I saw about… like, 30 errors. X.x So I figured it out! I'm weird, so I like to keep two or three versions of the same fic. The draft and the final. I clicked on the draft and submitted it instead of the final, so I apologize for that. I swear, this fic will be LOADS better!
To the people who liked the fic – THANK YOU!
Fix-it Alchemist - Wow! I'm glad you liked it! xD It was sort of a dream, actually.
Alright, I've bored you all long enough, so on with the fic! Oh, but before I bolt, one last thing. I forgot to mention in my last fic that Al was a human in that one. He's gonna be a tin can in my fics unless I say so. xD –clears throat- This one is going to be written in script format, because… well, I wanted to xD.
Disclaimer: I do not own Fullmetal Alchemist or any of it's characters. If I did, there would be more episodes and more fluffy moments between characters. O.o. Uh… yeah. I don't own anything but my heart, soul, and guitar.
"What not to write." With Misty, Anna, Ed, Winry, and Al (the tin can).
Misty: Hello! And welcome to "What not to write" with me, my sister, the shrimp, the automail junky, and the tin can!
Ed, Al, Winry: --….
Anna: -slaps her forehead- ANYWHO. On with the show!
Misty: Righto! Alright, we're here to tell you the 'do's and 'don'ts of writing. Well, of course, you don't have to listen to us, I'm just trying to spare some new fanfic writers some humiliation. O.o.
Anna: Alright, first of, ALWAYS CHECK YOUR SPELLING! IF you don't, it could end up in disaster. o
Misty: Yeah. And make sure you check which document you're clicking on before submitting it. TT It made me feel like an idiot-moron-face.
Al: Always make sure to tell people if there's a abnormal change to the fic. U.U
Ed: Don't make the characters sound like idiots. Try and picture this as an episode in the show or whatever you're writing about.
Winry: If it's going to be one of those romance fics, don't ignore other main characters just so the pairing you're writing about can have more fluffy moments.
Misty: I agree with Winry. I read this one fic once that just made me wanna bark. O.e –eyetwitch-
Anna: Most people prefer original characters over your made up ones. So, of course, you can still write them.. just, unless you're feeling brave, leave 'em to yourself.
Misty: Try not to, if you are going to post a fic with a made up character, make your character a Mary Sue. Everyone hates these. They're fine for your own stories, but… yeah.
Jay (our friend): -suddenly pops up- Don't make brownies with whole walnut halves! TRUST ME.
Misty, Anna, Winry, Ed, Al: O.o….
Jay:… It needed to be said… U.U
Misty:… anyway. –clears throat- Try not to be over descriptive. Just say: "He started to cry" instead of : "the young man's eyes filled with wavering guilt and emotion in the form up wet tears that gently rolled over his cheeks like—.." blah blah blah. Dx
Winry: And don't hate other characters and kill them off in your fics. To hate them is one thing, but please!
Anna: Be careful of what you write, keeping in mind that everyone can read your fics and might offended by it.
Al: Don't forget to put in disclaimers
Ed: 'Cause if you don't… it could get messy.
Jay: IF it's a continuing story, try an update fast. If you don't, people might forget about your story, which would be bad… O.o
Al: Make sure punctuation is correct and you indent and capitalize and such.
Winry: Although we said try to keep characters like themselves, craziness is always loved! Don't leave your creativity behind!
Misty: And, most importantly, have fun with it! D
Alright! Not much of a fic, but, like the other one, I wanted it out there! Alright! If I see at least one more review, I'll try to update as soon as I can!
I wasn't going to update this, but someone actually liked it! So… what else could I do? xD R&R! Be nice to meee! You can flame, too, because I respect open opinions.
Thanks to all the people who read!
Misty.
