There are hundreds of fantastic books about writing for hopeful authors to choose from, but most of them are boring, complicated, and bogged down by filler. This little book is brief, straight forward, and easy to understand. I hope it will serve as an easy-to-read manual to help serious writers perfect their craft. I should say right off the bat that I am NOT an expert; I forget my own tips all the time! However, I do know what generally works for me, so I thought I could pass it on to my friends at Wattpad. One last note: this book is for writers who have a basic understanding of grammar and story structure. If you’re interested in more fundamental steps you can take to write a great story, check out the companion to this book!

This is THE ULTIMATE GUIDE to Harry Potter fanfictions. Here, you will learn the dos and don'ts of the wizarding world, and how to handle your fanfiction in a way worthy of Rowling herself. You can learn to avoid cliches, think creatively, and make your readers forget they're reading a fanfiction at all, which is the goal. Hi, I'm Ellie, and I may not be JKR, and my word is not law, I have quite a bit of experience writing fanfiction. I will be the first to admit, too, that some of my earlier works are as cliche as Harry Potter having a twin sister, and there's no shame in that! Just be glad you can learn from your mistakes, and mine, and be prepared for a couple of laughs along the way! Warning: This is NOT a rant book. I don't just say what I think is wrong with fanfics, I give suggestions to make them better. Very rarely will I let my emotions control what I'm writing in this book. Feel free to rant within the comments, but don't expect me to do the same!

After a long anticipated party hosted by one of the most popular boys in school, a rumour goes round the entire school and gets the names of the two least expected classmates, in the mouths of the entire population of Castron High. One word: Madness. 𝑫𝒂𝒃𝒆𝒍𝒖𝒄𝒉𝒊 𝑶𝒓𝒋𝒊 - a major 'outcast', a girl who barely escaped being at the full disadvantaged end of the Social hierarchy, because she was saved, hidden, and protected under the wings of one of the most highly placed cliques in her set - realises that as a result of this ridiculous and unexpected rumour, she may just be about to bite more than she can chew. Unspeakable dares are passed on. Sealed pledges are made, the worst of pairs are forced to match-make, secrets are revealed, the mystery behind the strangest, most unusual people are discovered, and the most dangerous games are played when the notorious gang boys/hoodlums, known for terrorising the school come into the whole story, thirsty for blood. Most alarming yet, an outcast who has always been the centre of attention for the wrong reasons and a damaged playboy with narcissistic traits dare to fall in love in a world that forbids them to. In the end, all that's left to realise it that every teenager is one way broken and needs saving. ❦︎ In a world where home is equivalent to Hell, and Highschool is a society, reeking of vanity, where social hierarchy is the order of the day, and the madness to maintain status quo is a much bigger deal than it should be, anyone is bound to lose their goddamn mind. Two broken teenagers, living the same unbearable reality, and struggling to know who they are, find solace, and a means of escape, with each other. But is it really worth it?
