Hey, everyone! Most of 你 who have been here for over...two months, I'd say, remember how crazy the fanfiction situation can get. After a new book comes out, people get excited and start 写作 their new fanfic. Which is wonderful. Really, it's great. Unfortunately, it leaves this club, one for discussion and socializing, a big jumbled up blur of a bunch of new fanfictions.

I realize it's probably not my place to be 写作 this as I've only been fanpopping since June, but I've been following this club (not in the stalkerish way XD) since October of last year. So I know how much the fanfic situation exploded.

Okay, enough with my ramblings, on to the point.

If you're bothering to read this 文章 and are posting/working on a new fanfiction, please please just do at least one of the following:

1. READ AMPH'S RULES.

They're rules 发布 由 Amphitrite and reposted 由 weirdo2 about how to set up your fanfic. Some aspects of it include: how to head it up, making sure it's 发布 in a forum, not a series of articles, making sure that it's your best 写作 with good grammar and punctuation. They're so so helpful and really do make your fanfic 更多 polished.

2. 加入 PAULION'S SPOT.

Paulion recently made a spot called The Fanfic. It's a spot where 你 can write, post, share, and read your and other people's fanfics. Now, I know most of 你 are worried that no one will read it if 你 post it there, but the spot was formed a few days 以前 and already has 32 fans. It may not seem like much, but if 你 start posting your fanfic there and advertising it on this spot, your readers will 加入 and their readers will 加入 and so on and so forth.

Not everyone has to post their fanfic there but I've seen some of the elder members talking about what to do with all the new Mark of Athena fanfictions sure to come after the release of the Son of Neptune. Even before the code of no spoilers has been lifted, we already have a ton of new fanfics.

So if 你 have a fanfic 你 started posting after October 4th, I strongly recommend 你 read the rules and 移动 it over to the new fanfiction spot.

I'm nearly done, I swear, I just have one 更多 thing to add: before starting to post your fanfic, think carefully if you're ready to do it. Are 你 ready to keep up a posting schedule? Have 你 researched enough? Do 你 already have long-term ideas for much later in the story planned out? Do 你 know in which direction the story's going?

If not...maybe think about the 答案 to some of these questions, scrawl them down, and write a beautiful new fanfiction.
