(Rude version) Y'all suck at writing, so I had decided to do my best to help you nerds.
(Nice version) I've noticed many authors struggle with writing in English, whether it be grammar, spelling, or format. English is a difficult language, and that's coming from a native speaker, so I wanted to help anyone I could with some of the basics. There's no shame in needing a bit of help, and I'm looking half of this stuff up myself, but I wanted to give free and easy access to a learning tool in a format (and on a site) where the authors who need it can reach it with ease. So if you struggle with English, if it's not your first language, if you just want some writing tips, or if you're anywhere in-between, "How to Write Good" is meant for you! I swear a bit, but I think it helps you keep reading a boring topic a bit more when the author also hates how boring it is.
I'll probably never mark this as complete, because there's always something new to learn.

[READER HAS NO SPECIFIED GENDER, USING THEY/THEM] A rewrite of the other Rui x reader fanfic I wrote in June 2023 because I felt like it could be better in all honesty. UPDATES WILL POSSIBLY COME SLOWLY. Please try to be patient though, it's very much appreciated <3 ^^^^ Literally slowly. I'd be lucky to even post 2 updates a month *maybe.* Update (08/11/24): NEW COVER RAAAHHHHHHHHH ⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️ -------- After realizing a lot of people didn't read the description on the previous Rui x Reader story, I decided to just put information relating to your character in the first chapter because I figure more people would read it of course (I hope lmao) If you seen the old version of this, you'll probably notice a good bit of plot has changed because it was lowkey really cringe, and the 'conflict' just felt like it was there only for plot. It wasn't ever mentioned again after or even before it, so yeah. Since I want this to be more realistic, there is a high possibility this will be a little more slowburn. Despite the other book having 15 chapters, putting the information together; all of that happens in about ~1 month and a half. Also I felt like Rui was a little OOC too, so you'll notice some changes in his writing possibly. I don't think I have much more to say here so yea.. I hope you enjoy!! -------- Started Writing: March 13th, 2024 (EST) Published: March 14th, 2024 (EST) Concluded: August 15th, 2024 (EST)Complete
Prisimpad: A Guide to Wattpad, Writing, and Whatever
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.Complete!["My Little Monster~"|| Selever X Reader [DISCONTINUED]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/268673945-256-k202187.jpg)

Suddenly you got a call from the headmaster saying that you and your roommates would be having a new roommate and that they would be arriving after lunch. ~Time Skip~ You were playing video games on the couch when you heard a knock on the door. You were confused on why there were knocking on the door because it was Sunday and most of the students were out doing god knows what. Then you suddenly remembered that the headmaster told you that you were having a new roommate today. You opened the door and you see a cute half human half demon boy. "Oh!

The Suggestion Box, Vol. 4: A to Z Challenge
Back in June, I decided to take the "A to Z Challenge", which usually involves writing something centered around one word corresponding to each letter of the alphabet. It being a short story challenge, occurring weekly, I decided to "up the ante" to incorporate the rules of a Suggestion Box list (Name, Place, Time, and Object) and turn it into the next iteration of this series! Forthwith, I went through every letter of the alphabet and tried to look back over any previous story that I'd written (except the fanfiction) to find characters whose names began with each letter. Most of the time, I could find a character from a previous Suggestion Box installment (so be sure and check out the referred "original stories", always noted at the beginning of the tale!) but I also took the opportunity to use characters from other unfinished novels, and even a few opportunities for tie-in stories to my published novella, "Princess of Undersea."Complete

Spirals || Mattheo Riddle
"I was reaching for stars that didn't exist, caught up in the fantasies born of willful hope. I threw myself in the path of fate because I wanted to be swept away." ... We do stupid, stupid things in the name of those we love. We dedicate ourselves to false promises and we hope that in the end, it all turns out alright. I was never the kind of person who jumped into things without thinking about the consequences. I never dreamed of what could come from some silly mistakes. Two new students come for their 6th year at Hogwarts. Neither of them particularly want to be there. What havoc could a witch and a dark wizard bring to the year? As they both become frustratingly curious about each other, things fall in place that might never have occurred if they had just never met. ... So I started this book because I was bored, and now it's kind of my life accomplishment weirdly enough. It's not perfect and definitely not what it started out as but this fic has parts of my heart and soul in it and I'm proud of how far it's come. Contains toxic but also lovable Mattheo Riddle and an emotionally relatable mc. !!!Finished updating but still doing some editing!!! *WARNING* Contains violence, sexual content, swearing, mentions of abuse, death and possibly more. *I do not own any of the Harry Potter characters, Mattheo Riddle belongs to @yasmineamara, I only own my own characters. Happy readingComplete
Why Me? (ImmortalHD fanfic)
I had a lot of free time considering I only get homework from my math teacher and the fact that I dont do it beacuse everyone who has him hates him. So I decided to write! I'm not very good and there might be some spelling mistakes considering I'm not the best speller. So I hope you enjoy my first story! Bye for now.Complete![[Solo Leveling//Sung Jinwoo x Reader]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/315600363-256-k15626.jpg)

A/N as of Feb. 13, 2026. I forgot to update the note again!!! I'm on my last year of academic stuff. But my major subjects are killing me! ILL BE BACK BY THE END OF MARCH!!! !!!DISCLAIMER, READ FIRST!!! I'm sure that some of you may be experts and have your own personal preferences and opinions, but remember that I am mostly writing this for myself. "Y/n" is also used in this story which I'm pretty sure is hated and a lot of readers are put off by it, so I suggest just not reading this if you already feel some sort of negativity. This is purely a self-indulgent fic, the Y/n character isn't meant to portray anyone and is just a mere fantasy. I try to portray the canon characters close to the original but I may miss the target completely. I have no experience in writing and English isn't my first language.
