Hey, everyone! Most of anda who have been here for over...two months, I'd say, remember how crazy the fanfiction situation can get. After a new book comes out, people get excited and start Penulisan their new fanfic. Which is wonderful. Really, it's great. Unfortunately, it leaves this club, one for discussion and socializing, a big jumbled up blur of a bunch of new fanfictions.

I realize it's probably not my place to be Penulisan this as I've only been fanpopping since June, but I've been following this club (not in the stalkerish way XD) since October of last year. So I know how much the fanfic situation exploded.

Okay, enough with my ramblings, on to the point.

If you're bothering to read this artikel and are posting/working on a new fanfiction, please please just do at least one of the following:

1. READ AMPH'S RULES.

They're rules telah diposkan sejak Amphitrite and reposted sejak weirdo2 about how to set up your fanfic. Some aspects of it include: how to head it up, making sure it's telah diposkan in a forum, not a series of articles, making sure that it's your best Penulisan with good grammar and punctuation. They're so so helpful and really do make your fanfic lebih polished.

2. sertai PAULION'S SPOT.

Paulion recently made a spot called The Fanfic. It's a spot where anda can write, post, share, and read your and other people's fanfics. Now, I know most of anda are worried that no one will read it if anda post it there, but the spot was formed a few days lalu and already has 32 fans. It may not seem like much, but if anda start posting your fanfic there and advertising it on this spot, your readers will sertai and their readers will sertai and so on and so forth.

Not everyone has to post their fanfic there but I've seen some of the elder members talking about what to do with all the new Mark of Athena fanfictions sure to come after the release of the Son of Neptune. Even before the code of no spoilers has been lifted, we already have a ton of new fanfics.

So if anda have a fanfic anda started posting after October 4th, I strongly recommend anda read the rules and alih it over to the new fanfiction spot.

I'm nearly done, I swear, I just have one lebih thing to add: before starting to post your fanfic, think carefully if you're ready to do it. Are anda ready to keep up a posting schedule? Have anda researched enough? Do anda already have long-term ideas for much later in the story planned out? Do anda know in which direction the story's going?

If not...maybe think about the jawapan to some of these questions, scrawl them down, and write a beautiful new fanfiction.
