The Rules of Fan Fiction #8

I've seen so many people break this rule, and it gives me the motts every time.

#8 DO NOT MAKE YOURSELF A CHARACTER

It’s not so bad in killjoy stories, but my eyes have been burned by so many fanfics where the person writing it ends up best friends or in a relationship with one of the band members. No. Just no. Keep that stuff in your head please, nobody else wants to know your fantasies.

-----

#1 No making the band members hook up
#2 Capitalize
#3 Use punctuation
#4 Remember your audience
#5 Show not tell
#6 Speech starts on a new line
#7 Think of a title
