We all know good fanfictions are hard to come by. How would you like to make the distance between those fanfictions even bigger?
In this book I'll be covering commonly and not-so-commonly used tropes and ways of writing and creating stories. Specifically ones that make you want to bash your head against a rock.
Have a good day, and enjoy learning how not to write fanfiction.

MISSPELED
🏳️🌈 AROACE REPRESENTATION 🏳️🌈 TRANS PROTAGONISTS Thing is i like trouble, mess, the adrenaline of hitting the legs when things go wrong (even tho I'm not a good runner). I like to make things right by the wrong and that is pretty much everything you should need to know, but sometimes i bump into real problems, real pigs, even hyper-fast hedgehogs (I'm not gonna explain) And other times i cross with all of this at once and that's the story I'm gonna tell, one of the biggest messes i got into and i could not regret it less. I do not regret getting caught doing the paste-ups, or falling from my bike because of a flying rock, or having to eat wasabi chips. I do not regret any of the vandalism, throwing punches, mocking, being rude, being bossy or being me. In fact, being me and doing shit was one of the best things I've ever did for myself, for the city and for my family. So if you are interested in what I have to say, or if you already don't like me and want to see me getting waisted a couple of times, i think this story can be for you. And hopefully can teach you a couple of things. That's for doing mistakes, for counting stars, for being unapologetically, for spraying the message. ⚠️ Tw: transphobia, lgbtphobia, violence, harassment, parental abuse, slurs, agressive language and more.Complete
The Wrong Mate
Being in High School, SUCKS! Being a werewolf in High School, SUCKS! But being forced as the next Alpha King's mate, (who is the king of the asshole jocks), that's just awesome!... NOT! So what's an aggressive, takes-no-one's-shit rocker chick supposed to do?! THIS STORY WAS ORIGINALLY CREATED ON THE "CHAPTERS" APP BY ME. I MOVED ALL MY STORIES FROM THERE, TO HERE! SO FORMATS AND CONTENT HAVE CHANGED! Cover image was found online, I do not know who the creator/artist is. I did my own book cover editing. Mature Rating for the following: -Sexual Scenes (detailed) -Foul Language -Death/Fighting/Blood/Gore -Forced Sex (hinted) -Physical AbuseComplete

Here we go just another ch oneshot book, have fun (Mature tag is for potential cursing) NOTE: This book is on indefinite hiatus as I'm no longer in the fandom and cannot actively exercise my creativity and energy toward adding to it. I won't be able to accept any requests at this time, so apologies for any unmet requests and discontinued series. - (I did however add a requests page in addition to the revised description, if you're wondering why it's empty) --- Request page is for requests so that I won't miss it. - Some requests will be rejected if I'm either uncomfortable with fulfilling it or unable to. - I will {NOT} be doing reader inserts, OC or statehumans asks, smut, or dark themes (dead dove). Suggestive works will be either done of my own accord or are old works that I won't do anymore. - I may experiment if I'm in the mood. Some fics will be one-off things and not have a sequels. Some will have tropes that I won't replicate in any other work. - Some tropes/dynamics may recur across multiple fics. - Some old works are cringe and/or crack. Read at your own risk. Vast majority of this is meant to be lighthearted; if you find something offensive and/or problematic then please let me know so I can edit or delete it, thank you. - For all the parts that have an "aw bummer" cover pic, you're welcome to find a fitting pic for the ship or draw one yourself. --- ABBV.

Straight-Up Not Having A Good Time At Night Raven College: Prologue
PROLOGUE: Thanks, I Hate Being Welcomed To The Villain's World. (COMPLETED) ______________________________________ The misadventures of Prefect Kat, the 19-year-old ace lesbian isekai'd into a school full of problematic pretty-boys, armed with only her lack of f*cks and knowledge from years of mental health treatment. Will she survive? Will she ever get home? Will this damn cat ever stop causing problems? How long will it be until she even SEES another woman? Please, she is so gay and so, so lonely. ______________________________________ Writing the events of Twisted Wonderland as if I (or at least a version of myself that would actually progress the story) were the main character. CW: Swears (I swear like a sailor), descriptions of violence (describing in-game events; my style gets pretty prosey.) A lot of artistic license/minor worldbuilding/details/etc. Probably no ships; definitely no selfships or MC/OC+Canon ships or whatever you wanna call it. If there are ships, they're gonna be more subtext than anything else. If I go too OOC with ur faves I'm sorry, I'm doing my best but I'm dumb and mostly just try to get the 'vibes' right for each character; also might comedically exaggerate some traits for Shenanigans purposes sometimes. I own nothing besides myself; all characters/settings belong to Disney and Yana Toboso, etc., etc., pls no class-action lawsuit I have no moneyComplete
Empowered
As the narrator, I'm tempted to simply write "Middle Finger" because that is essentially what you'll feel like I'm giving you in telling this story. However, for the sake of not being a complete dick, I'll write a little more than just a description of a disrespectful gesture. This story can aptly be described as crude and deranged. As you may have surmised, a crazy person will be telling this story, and the characters involved are indeed also all crazy in their own special ways. So, given this exercise in mental illness, the topics touched on (in no particular order) in this tale are destruction, death, superpowered wackos, torture, pain, loneliness, chaos, the will to survive, never giving up, giving up and not giving a shit, the desire to protect, failing to protect and causing more trouble than was already present, disappointing and/or abusive parental figures, bullies, unjust punishments, just punishments, racism, violent and usually superpowered fights, sci-fi gadgets, bitterness, sarcasm, twisted and demented comedy, control or lack thereof, weird and awkward high school drama, lies and brainwashing, alien aggression, moral ambiguity, unhinged villains, fantastical weapons, a piece of shit main character, conditional friendship, a fuck load of musical references, anger, fear, depression, extra-dimensional creatures, godly powers, various esoteric connections, pop culture references, and of course, in general, superpowers.Complete

Perfect Fate ✔ (Moved To Inkitt)
Wattpad Creator! Happy and proud. HIM: Staying the night? Not my thing. Hearts and flowers? Boring. Falling in love? Not anytime soon. Settling down? Off the table. Getting married? You're kidding me, right? That was me before the night we first met. Because, well, meeting a hot chick that made me hard just by looking at her was definitely not in my plans when I sneaked out of a woman's apartment after what was already a long night. Taking her home and getting her a chocolate cake, though, was kind of intentional. But falling for her? Boy, that was pretty much inevitable. HER: He came out of nowhere, literally. I was there, sitting on that bench, barefoot and crying and just getting my heart broken in peace and silence. Then he appeared, all mad and furious and sexy and tall and just drool-worthy! And just like that, despite my poor attempts of escaping him, he had me wrapped in his world. A crazy yet heart-fluttering world, that I have absolutely no intentions of leaving anytime soon. ------- Character development is a main theme in this book. It shows you how they both work on changing for the better, while trying to overcome the obstacles in their relationship and fight for each other till the end. ** Warning!! Some chapters contain sexual scenes, but there's always a warning at the head of the chapter. Do not read them if you're under 18.** * Also, please beware that this story contains a lot of swearing.
