hey rats!!!

im going to give you lots of advice about how to write a fic that doesn't completely suck! a lot of people could be great writers but are stuck just being good because of a few little mistakes. if you can get around these, you can bump yourself up from hundreds of votes to thousands, and from thousands to tens of thousands, and what's most important, people will enjoy reading your work more.

(by the way, im aware that it's a little hypocritical of me to write a book about being a great writer when im a fairly shitty one myself, but u see-- in theory i could write well but my brain is only working at around 20% capacity (im not joking) and i don't have the energy to apply all these things 2 my actual writing. maybe u guys will have more success)

now i'll stop my talkin and get to the point! read on for the info you need 2 build up ur writing skills to brilliant!!
