My first mission story by ShatteredSanity on 2011-08-13 00:43:00 UTC Reply

Okay, so I just finished outlining and sorting out this Fanfiction. As it is my first I have some questions.

1. How do I start my agents out? How should I go about this?

2. How do I know what parts of the fanfic to put in my story? In the missions that ive read a few lines of the fic are put down in bold, so how do I figure out which ones?

3. Would someone be willing to help me out with the story? Please? I'm sure i've missed stuff in it, I started to loose focus by the time I got to the fourth and final chapter.

Thank you.

Good example by IndeMaat on 2011-08-13 08:02:00 UTC Reply

Your questions are actually a good example of why there is a waiting period between joining the board and asking for permission to write missions. During that time you can read missions others have written. Be sure to also check out some of the badfic the appears in these missions (PPCers that post on LJ often provide links to the badfic). Then you can see what bits of fic are quoted in the missions, which are paraphrased and which bits are left out to make everyone's lives a lot simpler.

The real answer to quetion no 2 is: if you don't know which bits of the badfic to quote, you are not ready yet to write missions.

Not ready to write missions, but not so much on 'your writing isn't good enough' but 'if you don't know how to point out that a particular fic is bad, canon-mauling, or wrong somehow, then either it's not quite bad enough to spork, or you're just not looking.'

May I ask how long you've been on the Board? I don't recall seeing you around here much, if any.
