Absolute Fanfiction Writing Advice by ABSOL_ute

I wrote and read Fanfiction for five years. In these five years, I learned many things. But these is still a lot to learn for me. To celebrate my five year anniversary, I want to collect said knowledge. While not all is stuff I learned over the last five years, I will inject personal anecdotes and stories to make it less boring. The rest of the content will be knowledge I want to implement in my own writing. Chapters each Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday.

Prisimpad: A Guide to Wattpad, Writing, and Whatever by Prisim

I will no longer be updating this guide. I'm leaving it up in case it will continue to be helpful to anyone in the future. People have asked me writing tips, Wattpad tips, and whatever. This is some of that advice I give them. Keep in mind most of this is my opinion in addition to things other people have taught me to do and not to do. It is by no means 100% to be followed but only a guide to get you thinking. The beauty of writing is that there is no one correct answer. We each learn and adapt to our own personal styles.

The Art of Writing: How to Write Bestselling Novels by Cephyr13

[New chapter posted every Friday] Would you like to learn how to draw your readers in with your blurb and your opening lines so that they feel they have to keep reading to find out what happens next? Would you like to learn how to craft characters who are so interesting and real that your readers would love to be them and can't help but go through the story with them? Would you like to learn how to craft sentences, paragraphs, and chapters that keep your readers enthralled? Would you like to learn how to prevent writer's block? The Art of Writing will teach you all of these skills and more--everything you need to write a bestseller. You've probably noticed that your first and second chapters have lots of reads, but the chapters after that have very few reads or votes. You can partially blame that on people clicking on the first chapter just to take a quick glance at it and maybe add it to their reading list. But that explanation only goes so far for most Wattpadders. The real reason is more likely that your story isn't written in such a way that really draws a readers in, almost forcing them to keep reading. But you can give your story that edge it needs to become great just by following a few easy guidelines and learning some key techniques for success. In fact, if you haven't already noticed, some of those techniques are being used in this description to give you just enough information about something you want in order to get you hooked. And your stories should do the same. Wattpad is full of writers who have great story ideas but very little training in the skills required to craft an amazing story that really sucks a person in. Which means we end up with endless stories that promise amazing plots but can't deliver on that promise. Not to worry, though. We're about to change all of that. So get ready to learn the skills you need to write a binge-worthy bestseller. ***NOTE: If there's a skill you'd like me to write a chapter about, just let me know***

The Return of the Hyuga (Nightly's continuation) by NightlyProduction

This is a continuation of RenRae26's story "The return of The Hyuga". They discontinued it(I think) and I really enjoyed the story so I decided to continue it putting my own style into it, trying to make it seem more different than RenRae26's own work. Of course I'll implemented the different povs and how they ended each chapter with suspense but i'll try to make it more "NightlyProduction"(whatever that means I only got two published stories) The main difference of the bat is how I'm shifting the focus of Hinata being the main character. Im turning it into more of a "what if-" situation/story and not a Hinata story(how her leaving and coming back changed how everyone sees her and how different they are as characters). Don't know if that's a mistake or a good thing(what the fans of Renrae26's original story want)but that's what I want to do with this story. Now, if you are intrigued, go read the original story(I'm continuing before the chapter "Cross eye" and "Cross eye" never happened) and come back here to be up to date. Good Read! -Nightly Ps: This...is long over due. Hi, present Nightly here. RenRae26 no longer exist, their account being wiped from this app. Meaning, their Hinata fanfic is also gone. This continuation that I am just now publishing, that I started when Renrae canceled theirs, is oddly enough a time capsule, a story started when one ended years ago. This isn't a finished product. It ends on a cliffhanger that I don't want to finish. A true time capsule. From my work as a naruto fanfic writer to now going into Uni in Literature, Naruto fanfiction is what created this passion for creation in me. So I want to honor it by publishing all my unfinished work, as I left, because why not? If you have unfinished work or even work that you don't think of publishing, do it. Hit send. Let the world read you and be proud of it. I am proud of all my work in one way or another. So publish, friend. You have nothing loose. Lots of love -Nightly, 2024
