cliche fanfic fanfiction guide harrypotter help helpbook worststoryonwattpad

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!All Rights Reserved

The Chosen Ones by panicfanatic_malfoy

DISCONTINUED Harry Potter and Emily Potter are twins; or so they thought. Emily was thought to be just another normal witch. Until an accident that left her in St. Mungo's Hospital, she was found to not exist. But there was a lot more to it. This book is about the damaged life of Emily Potter, a witch that has both a tragic past and future. Different from the Harry Potter Books and Movies. I do not own any of the Harry Potter characters, places, etc... Trigger Warning: Abuse (around 2 chapters), Torture (multiple chapters), Suicide (one chapter), Angsty. No smut just a hell a lot of fluff.

The stories of magic and how great witches and wizards came to be from the finest wizarding school. So when the day came he got his acceptance letter, he had never felt more joy; especially when his sister, cousin, and best friends would be joining him on his First Year. They had expected adventure. They had expected the magic from all the same stories they've been told. But Jake starts to feel that his time in Hogwarts might not all be what he had expected. For people start talking about a prophecy, and it seems he and his friends are connected to this - but neither of them know why. And dark mysteries trouble them at Hogwarts School with strange people coming for him. Whether they were friend or foe, Jake didn't know.

I also do not own any of the quotations and story plot taken from Harry Potter and the Philosopher Stone, book and film; they belong to J.K. Rowling and Warner Brothers. I do not own the individual graphic/s on the cover. If there are any problems, please be polite in expressing your thoughts. ALSO, unless you're familiar with most of the names, or are willing to remember them, then it might be a hard read for you. REMEMBER, this is a work of pure FAN FICTION. A work for and of fun.

The unexpected wizard (Fred Weasley X Reader) by Gryffinpuffgirl_2310

The cover is entirely mine although the pictures were found on google ❤️💛 First off the plot is entirely my own although all characters except for you and your family are the property of J.K. Rowling. ❤️💛 You've just moved into a house on the outskirts of a small town, there is nothing around your house except for one other house which looks to be held up by magic. That's when you meet the Weasleys, more specifically the Weasley twins. ❤️💛 shoutouts •to Gryffinpuffgirl on instagram because why not do a self promo •to Obsessedteen_16 on instagram for the support •to J.K. Rowling for making the wizarding world and it's characters ❤️💛 warnings •a bit of hinny but just in the background •you being a muggle •mention of loosing family •cursing (not a lot) •smut (not a lot but there will be a warning before it begins) •after they get together it gets kind of fast! •one or two times the word 'rape' is mentioned (I won't put a specific warning before hand because it's so small)

Standing Alone by beedreamer36

My first ever fanfiction! I wrote years ago but was too insecure to let anyone else see it. **Disclaimer** I do not own any of the characters, events, plotlines etc.. They belong to JK Rowling. My story line is completely based of the movies and partly my own imagination, just in the point of view of my character. I wrote this for just for myself as a way to cope with trauma. This is an alternate version of Harry Potter. What if Harry had a twin sister. What would happen?

A HIDDEN SECRET #wattys2017 by percabeth_4eva

Hi, I am Hermione Granger's sister. I just turned eleven in July. And guess what ? I got a letter from Hogwarts, school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The minute I told my beloved sister, she flipped. "Heather, you've got to tell Dumbledore what you really are !" She screamed. "Hermione, please. I love Hogwarts. It's been my dream to go there !" "Fine. But once everyone finds out who you REALLY are, you are going to catch the train and go HOME !" My sister( the smarty) hates me. Because I'm not like the others. I'm cursed. Also includes juicy Draco love story!

My Hogwarts Imagines (Taking Few Requests) by MirandaHall01

#36 in Grief ~ 6/20/18 #29 in Friendship ~ 10/12/18 #23 in Happiness ~ 11/13/18 WARNING: I WROTE THIS WHEN I WAS A FRESHMAN. REPEAT. I WAS A 14 YEAR OLD FRESHMAN. I've tried editing it, it's still terrible but a lot of people like it so I'm leaving it up. These characters do NOT belong to me. They belong to J. K. Rowling and her publishers. Some characters might be mine but other than that, no. I have decided to make my own Harry Potter imagines after much reading and debating. if you want one then message me or comment on my A/N. There will be Smut or Fluff or whatever I decide. I will have warnings on sexual content or language though out. Almost all of them will have language unless you tell me not to. This will be in YOUR POV. Just sit back and be prepared for sadness or the feels you may get. Stay lovely and relax on your experience at Hogwarts. Also, the images can contain boy on boy, girl on girl, or whatever you want and I'll also do the imagines all the way from the creators of the Mauraders map to the 2nd generation of HP. Smile and just enjoy what is being brought to you by yours truly, Miranda/Mira Started: December 26th, 2016 Ended: June 13, 2019
