    I've finally found out where the majority of fanfic writers figured out their trade.

    An example:

    I swear that I had just read this story the other day. Substitute in some HP names and... yeah, it was this story. :?

    Wow. Seems like some pretty steady advice - nice find there. Maybe I should be sure to stick everything I write in WBA for the next few months to make sure that reading that blog didn't infect me; yes, even grocery lists.

    God help me if my tomatoes become superfluous.

    S'a very good find

    That actually hurt to read. A damn good bit of bad writing.

    Seems to be the exact way that my school taught us to pass our English tests. Because if you can use adjectives, you can obviously write descriptively.
