How to Write Fanfiction is a writing resource that contains tips and tricks on crafting fanfiction stories - by the community, for the community. This guide will serve as a helpful point of reference for fanfiction writers both old and new. We ultimately hope to encourage Wattpadders to immerse themselves in the limitless world of fanfiction and try their hand at fic writing!

This is about how to improve your OC so that it's not too Mary Sue/Gary Stu. It also looks into tropes and cliches, overall helping with storytelling. OC reviews are also welcome for those that want their OCs to be checked. (OC REVIEWS ARE CLOSED) Note: Some chapters are very outdated!! I only just started updating some parts of them but I'll try to edit when I can.

Mary Sue: (noun) an idealized and seemingly perfect fictional character with little to no flaws. "Mary Sues" is a book chock-full of those characters we love to hate. They can be found almost anywhere, from DeviantArt to fanfiction sites, these repulsive creatures have creeped into every corner of our world- and you have just stumbled upon the largest concentration of these horrific characters on Wattpad. Sinfully shameless. Painfully perfect. ALERT: I am currently looking for users to join my Mary Sue team until APRIL 16th! Anybody can join, just ask!

I will review your writing if you want-
