hooooo boy... where to start...

i dont want to come across rude to off putting but that desperatly needs to be bulked up. its too fast, unbelieveable (im in the uk and even i couldnt get alcohol when i was 15 even if i tried) and there is absolutley no description.

and a little quote from one of the many FTT gramar nazis
"that big button on the right hand side of your key board... its called the enter key...use it"
had that been longer that would have been one huge and very confusing block of text and very difficult ot read. always start a new paragraph when new speakers says something

and one little thing... nothing major but nearly every regession story i read has the same story line, "teenager drawing a babyfur picture-abusive parents-suddenly finds him/herself transformed living their dream" why don't you try a different story line?

It's funny. When I think about it, how come I wasn't bashed to death when I posted my first story that also followed this storyline? Ha ha.

Listen Furryfan, writing is very difficult. I think I already discussed the grammar side of story writing with you before, so I'll focus more on the storyline this time.

Thing is, grammar is something that can be mastered with practice. Sure, it's almost impossible to get perfectly, but to reach an acceptable level just take practice. Now that really hard part of a good story, is, well, the story itself.

The storyline here has been done many times, and I am guilty of that myself. But people have seen it already and they want to have something fresh, something new. That's the really hard part of writing a story, having an engaging and intriguing storyline. Without that, a story is nothing.

To put it into context, I've been trying to write a good story since that first one. So far, I've started writing 12 stories, each one, I had to rewrite the first chapter at least 3 times, the latest one, I've rewritten the first two chapters five times. In the end, none of them made it.

Yes, babyfur stories are difficult to start, because a lot of thoughts are common. If you really want to use this... universal square one plot, then at least try to make it unique in its own way. Especially if you use this storyline, you have to really make it stand out because it's been so overused. In fact, I'd say that this storyline is the most difficult one to write based on because of that exact same reason.

And yes, paragraphs and punctuation are a must! Writing can be very rewarding, but if you write in hopes of getting positive feedback, you have to give people something that they like.

Try reading what other people have written, and not just stories like Kit Fox. Try reading some other ones, and once you have, ask yourself, what makes that story stand out from the rest, or what makes it bland.
