Well, then. Wattpad has taken down the Watching Flash story. Not much I can do about it, really, but it was one of the first fics I had ever properly written and it's nostalgic in a silly little way.
I know I'm not really active on Wattpad these days (I've mostly migrated to AO3, if anyone wants to take a peek at my stuff on there!), but it was fun while it lasted.
I saw the comment where you said
"WHO GAVE YOU THE RIGHT
*pulls out a thick textbook titled "Rules that Authors Must Follow" *
Me: *flipping through textbook* According to fanfiction law #5212, authors are forbidden from bringing deep, psychological scars back to the surface. Let them stay buried deep down."
Can you please make the lawbook of authors?

@TheSleepingDisaster No problem! The prompts are very interesting and got me out of a writer's block, so thanks!
Every time I see you while reading a fanfic, I think about the fact that your username is my irl name
If anyone's looking for a good fanfic related to The Flash, I recommend "Prejudice" by RedQ. It's on Fanfiction.net and it's REALLY long, but worth reading.
Hi,. :)
I plan on updating soon, I promise
*sad guilty murmuring*
In the meantime, take some of Iris's pancakes.
And Sally's blue cookies.
Oh my god, I think I just found something to live by.
Tʜᴇ 27 Cᴏᴍᴍᴀɴᴅᴍᴇɴᴛs ᴏғ Fᴀɴғɪᴄᴛɪᴏɴ
1. Thou shalt not post a fic until it has been checked for grammar and spelling errors. The fanfiction gods hath give you a spellchecker on the computer for good reason. Use it.
2. Thou shalt not post a chapter of less than 100 words, unless it is a drabble. This displeases the masses.
3. Thou shalt not put author's notes in the middle of a story.
4. Thou shalt NEVER use text-speak in a fic, unless the characters are actually texting.
5. Thou shalt keep to one tense, and only one, throughout the story. Do not switch randomly.
6. Apply the above number 5 to POVs as well.
7. Thou shalt not get offended when someone makes fun of the crack pairing featured in your fanfiction. It probably is rather hilarious.
8. Thou shalt not use emoticons, ;, or :( in a fanfiction to show the emotion exhibited by a character.
9. Thou shall try-eth to keep characters in character!
10. Thou shall not treat every criticism as a flame.
11. The author's note is not a spot for your personal drama, and thou shalt not make it so.
12. Thou shalt not put any form of the phrase "first fic" in thy summary.
22. Thou shalt always separate dialogue from two separate speakers in two separate paragraphs. Otherwise thine readers shall be confuse-ed.
23. Thou shalt not EVER make a chapter all one paragraph. THIS INFURIATES BOTH THINE READER AND THE FANFICTION GODS. They have given thee an ENTER key with good reason.
24. Thou shalt not write with thy caps lock on, it displeases the masses and causes thy readers to lose their vision and make angels weep.
25. Thou shalt know how to spell the character's name correctly before you writeth the fic. Misspelling the name of the main character makes readers angry and distracts from the story.
26. Thou shalt not say in thine summary "summary inside". This shows lack of creativeness and infuriates the masses. The only exception is when a summary is cut short and a continuation of it lies inside.
27. Thou shall use paragraphs and space the story so it is not terrifyingly daunting to thine readers.
13. Thy created characters must not have names that exceed five syllables in length. Nor shall thy name have more than five words in length.
14. Thou shall not insert thyself into the story line as thyself or as a character- yes we know that you are in love with yourself and are very narcissistic, we just don't want to read about how you end up with the main character.
15. If thou art writing a story that does not follow the original story line, point it out in the beginning.
16. Thou shall not make a person randomly smart or powerful unless stating a reason for the change (a good reason).
17. Thou shalt show and not tell.
18. Thou shalt not EVER use the phrase "I suck at summaries" in-est thy summary. This annoys thine readers.
19. Thou shalt not write they same way thou speak-est- writing is an art.
20. Thou shalt ALWAYS spell the word "okay" correctly. Using the letter "K" is an unacceptable compromise.
21. Thou shalt only use clichés when thou a) art writing a parody or b) find a new and interesting twist to make such clichés bearable to thine reader.
Thanks for the follow.
