The purpose of this work is to share my personal thoughts on writing and what makes for good fiction. I hope other writers find it thought provoking whether or not they agree. My focus is on original fiction, because that is what I write, but I hope there is plenty that fanfiction and even non-fiction writers find useful.

How To Write Marvel Fanfiction
What it says on the tin. Some ranting, some advice, some archaic reference, and a lot of cussing. My take on how I think fanfiction should be written and some of the biggest problems with it right now. Because I may not be the best at writing, but damnit I am the best at yelling about writing and rules I won't follow myself. More of a what not to do than a what to do sort of guide, really. Technically completed, but still adding chapters and anything past like part 35 is just me ranting with little actual advice in there. You have been warned.Complete
