So you've decided to join us, how wonderful.

Our first lesson is about stories.
What is a story?

 

 

Well, here is a general definition of a story.

 

sto·ry  

/ˈstôrē/
 
Noun
  1. An account of imaginary or real people and events told for entertainment: "an adventure story".

 

So in short, a story is a work of fiction.

Here on fanficoverflow, we write fanfiction.
Fictional stories written by fans of something.

Fan•fiction

 

So I will end this lesson here, even though it is really short.
Lesson #2 will focus on plot.

I hope I can help you with your writing.

I really like your way of executing your lessons! I also have a really amazing English teacher that gave me the knowledge to write my own fanfiction, poetry, and essays. I found this helpful as well! By the way, congratulations on your feature!

WinnieStar  on says about chapter 6:
okay, this helps but one thing that also make a good story is to make sure it makes sense, not the plot line and stuff but the sentences and grammar. you should post something about it because some forget to edit their chapter or something. :) sorry if this sounds forcing you to write something about this.....

WinnieStar  on says about chapter 5:
okay, you must have a really cool, can-teach-english; english teacher
my english teacher sucks, i don't learn anything but do some not-so-helpful sheets of paper. -__- one reason why i suck at english and stuff
