E&T Fanfic-Writing Tips

Tip 01:ALWAYS BE ON THE LOOK-OUT FOR ONE-LINERS

May it be in movies,tv shows or just plain conversations w/ friends.Clever one-liners are especially useful in making eriol's dialogues.

Tip 02:BEFRIEND MR.WEBSTER

Browse the thick unabridged dictionaries once in a while to look up for unusual words that may come in handy.For instance,you may use "acridly" in the place of "sarcastically".Just be sure that the meaning of your term can be deciphered through context clues.

Tip 03:LEARN A BIT OF NIHONGO

It can give your fics a more authentic feeling.Knowing when to use the suffixes -kun,-san and -sama and memorizing the common Japanese expressions like Ohayou (Good Morning),Sumimasen (Excuse me) and Gomen nasai (I'm sorry) can be a big help in making those fics come alive,and at the same time,teaching your readers a bit of trivia.
